Hey there, friends! Today’s video is super special - I’m inviting you into the heart of Little Mountain Ranch to show you what a year's worth of food looks like for us. From our pantry shelves to the root cellar and from our grow room to the freeze-dryer space, you’ll get to see it all!
We'll share our canning and store-bought pantries, and you’ll peek into our root cellar, where the cool earth keeps our produce fresh for months. The root cellar was what sold me on this property eight years ago. I’ll take you through the grow room where our plants start their journey - it’s like springtime in there no matter the season outside. We'll also be sharing the newest addition since last year's tour, which has really upped our preservation game and that's our freeze dryer room.
Don't forget to hit subscribe and that little bell so you won’t miss out on our future adventures and some cool courses I’ve got in the works about all things growing, preserving and pantry cooking.
Grab your favourite mug of something warm, settle in, and I hope you enjoy coming along with us!
Thanks for watching!

Hi friends, we (Dan will be here, too) can't wait to chat with you all at 5pm PST. ❤
FYI: I don't know if you've seen it yet, but there is a slight misspelled accident on your video announcement you posted ~30 minutes ago 😅 Here's hoping this reply notifies you 🤞
@@brittanykirkham9035 Thank you so much. I got a good chuckle out of that!
I make green tomato minchmeat my family loves it but I dont
those bay leaves will help keep bugs away also. ik you said you dont have a problem, but just a known for you I put them crumbles up in lil sashes in my pantry.
Unfortunately not every Cat is actually a 'Mouser'. For that you need to 'deliberately' SHOP for one just like you shop for 'Livestock' animals: Dogs, Geese & Donkeys.
We do 1200+ jars per year, plus 1000 bags of freeze dried food (we also have freeze dried pet food for 2000 meals each for 4 dogs) that we did with our freeze drier. We also have food grade 5 gallon buckets filled with grains, rice, raw honey, sugar, oats, flour, pasta, barley. We also have sweet potatoes, russet potatoes, pumpkins, butternut squash, acorn squash and blue Hubbard squash. We have increased the garden size for next grow season, which will increase our quart jars and our freeze dried mylar bags.
Inspiring!

Hi, I just discovered you today. Reminds me of my great grandma Hulda, 1/2 of her basement was a giant pantry, she was always making something. Others made fun of her saying we could live for 3 yrs on her pantry food. She would remind them that during the depression yrs she always had food because she always prepared for a rainy day & she never stopped doing it. She lived to be 95. We were so lucky to grow up eating food without chemicals & additives. So much more healthier. I try to do the same thing in each season but on a much smaller scale in my 1/4 acre backyard. My house in Tx was built in 1986. We don't have a basement so I use my linen closet & front hall closet as pantries. My husband & grown sons tell people that I'm like a squirrel storing food, but when covid hit. & stores ran out of food, we had plenty. Thankyou great grandma Hulda for teaching me well. So happy to see young people like yourselves trying to live healthy. It's a lot of hard work but it keeps you out of trouble & saves a lot of money. God Bless you both
After following the year through your content, what I can only imagine to be the thousands of hours, spent by you and your family producing that bounty, and the emotional roller coaster that gardening and family life always is. Words are lacking in their ability to describe what an accomplishment those pantries are. Your “Pantry Tour” video was just the perfect counterpoint.
Food security is incredibly under rated. Nothing like a stocked pantry to make you feel good.
100%
If I had that pantry, I would have a nice comfy chair, a glass of wine and some soothing music playing. I would just sit back and enjoy the view and reflect on the past summer, and dream about the delicious meals coming soon. ❤
I know it's not up yet, but Dan has been very busy that looks amazing. That man works so hard Chelsea and him make a great team, and doesn't Chelsea look so pretty and happy in that picture.
I agree, with all parts of your comment
I have had a tough week, I knew watching Chelsea tonight would bring back my peace. THANK YOU CHELSEA AND DAN!! So lovely!
Hugs.
I've had a hard couple of weeks, too. Watching Chelsea does bring some joy and calm to my life.
It's very wise to have multiple varieties of food stored, like you have.
If the canned food fails, you have your dehydrated, if the dehide fails you have store bought, if store bought fails and so forth. Good planning.
I did pickled red beets one year and told friends how beautiful they were, just like jewels. They looked at me askance, but if I had told you that, you would have agreed! YAY!!!
Wow! Your food pantries are a work of art. You put so much time an energy into growing, harvesting, canning, freeze drying. It's a work of art.
The two of you must be so proud of each other 💞. This pantry tour is sure the culmination of a beautiful example of team work. And, it speaks volumes for what can be accomplished with desire, heart, passion & amazing work ethics. What a thing of beauty. We are blessed beyond measure that you take us along on your exemplary life’s journey.
This will officially mark one year that I’ve been watching your channel. Last year’s pantry tour was the first video of yours that I watched. My alarm is set for tomorrow.
Thanks so much for sticking with us!❤
Wow! I told my husband I don't feel so bad now about turning one of the upstairs bedrooms into a pantry 😊 I do believe he thought I had lost my mind two years ago when I asked if I could. It's been a blessing to us and other family and friends and my granddaughters call it granny's Walmart 😂
Granny's Walmart!!!!💯👍👍👍
alright now!!!!🎉🎉🎉
Man I can only imagine the pride you must feel! That’s a lot of work and so worth it!
Seeing the Apple Butter reminds me of a traditional Appalachian cake-Apple Stack Cake. It’s very thin layers of cake with rehydrated apple with cinnamon between the layers and finished by covering the entire cake with a creamy apple butter. Let sit for 24 hours in the fridge to moisten and mingle the flavors. A beautiful and tasty cake from the mountains.
This is such a lovely collaboration of Dans' fine carpentry skills and Chelseas' love of gardening and preserving!
Your pantry is a cook and foodies dream! All the gorgeous colors, it just looks amazing. You and Dan are such a great team. When you talked about the bay leaves, I laughed out loud!! I did the same thing!! I will not have to buy bay leaves again in my life. Thanks for sharing your hard work with us. You are such a hardworking family. Now, go make some tea, put your feet up and enjoy winter!!
What a beautiful pantry you have created! One of my favorite things about you and your channel is the beauty you find in food and simple things. The natural beauty of the colors and the textures and the joy of seeing your creations! Very nice job on your food preservation! Awesome to see!
Do you keep a journal of what works and what not to do again, comments about flavor, texture, etc. Same for garden; what was planted where, did it grow well. I admire your work ethic. You’re both “go-getters”!
Beautiful!! ❤ Pantry Goals! Try storing your root cellar veggies in clasp closing totes filled/layered with Sand. Mimics being in the dirt. Potatoes and carrots do wonderful like that for us. Keeps rodents away from them
Love seeing another northerner! Thank you for realistically sharing that your family eats 4 quarts of tomatoes per meal. Pantries have a way of looking full until you realize how quickly we go through them!
It is so beautiful! I'm new to the channel so this is my first pantry tour video.
I am a sour cherry person too
😂 I accidentally ordered more bay leaves than I can use in my lifetime too. I had heard that insects don't like the smell. We had an issue with pantry moths years ago & I never wanted to deal with that again.
Isn’t that a pain to deal with pantry moths? I have had them at least twice an di now keep traps up all the time.
Thanks for the tour of your art gallery!!! I always think those gorgeous jars are works of art. I view mine and anyone else's that way. Just gorgeous and I've loved watching your videos on organic gardening and canning. I do both, but on a MUCH smaller scale. I just discovered you this summer and am totally addicted. I also love hearing that accent occasionally. Thanks for sharing this part of your life with us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my stars! What a bounty is displayed in your pantry! Thousands of hours of planting, replanting, harvesting, cleaning, cooking, and canning❣️ Y'all can be rightfully proud of the year's work you have stored❣️❣️ Amazing! Great work, you two!!
The amount of work you put into making all the food and then making this video is astounding. Well done, well done.
🌻 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
Proverbs 31:28-31
Thank You Dan & Chelsea for sharing your beautiful food storage with us all. Have a safe and healthy winter! 🙂
Chelsea where are you - are you on vacation? Hoping to see some of you soon.
I remember years ago typing in root cellar on TH-cam and your video was the first to pop up. You had just moved to that property and you said the root cellar was a major reason you wanted that particular property. I’ve been watching you ever since & just love your videos. Y’all have a beautiful pantry. ☺️❤
This is a beautiful thing!!! No, really, it’s gorgeous!!! Who says a pantry can’t be functional AND beautiful. I’ve seen a lot of pantry videos and this one is right up there! So awesome!
Hi from Alberta, luv your energy and scratch cooking. I made your apple oatmeal with caramel Wed morning. Yummy 🤤 I’ll be watching this seasons pantry tour shortly. I am late to the party. I was processing beets this afternoon. After dinner I told my husband, I can’t wait to watch Chelsea’s pantry tour. He just chuckled at me 🥰
Don't care what time it is im waiting up for it but i don't sleep that well so in that way im lucky i can't wait to see everything we've watched all the hard work the family has put in to it now come their results.
❤😊
NICE JOB WELL DONE!... WE ADD VINGAR TO SALMON.... Since fish contain sufficient moisture levels that will be extracted during the canning process, no additional water is required. Simply add five ml (one tsp) of non-iodized salt in each 500 ml (one pint) jar, along with 10 ml of vinegar and/or lemon juice. If desired, you can add your own favourite fish seasonings.
The added vinegar or lemon juice also softens the bones when canning. We never add water.
Fantastic! I can’t imagine needing four quarts of sauce for one dinner…and then that quantity of food 365! Your family is so lucky you do all of this with so much love and interest! I CAN imagine the feeling of contentment having so much healthy food on hand while living in your cold and snowy Canada.
Your family must have such good gut health and all around a healthy lifestyle too.
I look forward to this video every year as it's how I found your channel.
You and Dan are so talented and very hard working. Your pantry is so beautiful…tidy and well organized. That pantry along with your wonderful cooking will surely feed your family very well in the coming year. Thanks for sharing…a very enjoyable video to watch. One question: Do you teach your children the skills that you and Dan have with building and canning and do they help you? That would be invaluable to them. Could you give a tour of your freezer(s)?
Can't wait! Chelsea, you look so pretty in this picture. I sure have learned a lot from you! Thank you for sharing your time with us.
Thank you so much!!
Looks so nice ! Would love for you to do a canning book ❤
Everything is beautiful!! Now to enjoy the fruits of your labor!
Your food storage gives me peace. Lol you are so well prepared. It's amazing to see the fruit of all your labor. Thank you for sharing.
Hello from South Eastern Kentucky ! I just adore you both ! And I so want to thank Rachel from "That 1870's Homestead " ( so adore her & Todd too ! ) for saying that LMR was her dream homestead location ! 😀❤
Been watching for couple of years watching every episode same day.
Sending Love, Peace and Joy to you, Dan and your large crew. Your videos are charming, entertaining and insightful. They make me smile and I'm a better gardener from your advice. Thank you for all you do... ~ Namaste ~ from Red Deer 🍅🥕🥔🏵🌷🐝🐞🕉☮
I use our green tomato mincemeat in mincemeat squares. They are made similar to date squares but use mincemeat in the middle. Any mincemeat will work but we really like green tomato this way. A beautiful pantry! Thanks for the tour.😊
THANK YOU. I have so enjoyed this video and the notes I've taken are inspiring me to 'do for myself' now with canning and cooking meals. Widowed and 72 yrs. old, its time to dust off the ol' Presto and get back to it.
Everything- everywhere looks fantastic! Excellent job family!
Imagine here I am all the way from Uganda East Africa, twiddling my thumbs... saying... what's taking this so longggggg.... can't wait can't wait... (oops I thought it was supposed to be 5pm EST)
😁 love that! See you there.
God Bless Uganda!
See you in the chats, it will be 8:00 p.m. here on the northern east coast of the US.
Watching now... super excited...taking notes... this is truly a dream pantry... you are so blessed and a very lovely and hardworking family and couple. God bless you indeed
You and Dan are just amazing, you make a great team! Thanks for posting this! ❤️
I have 8, 22 quart black/yellow bins full of freeze dried mylar bags!! Hubs built me racks to store then in an order tomato powder replaces paste.
What an achievement you have done. Your hard work from start to finish is amazing and your family is blessed. Love the shelves that Dan made for you. Thank you for sharing.
Chelsea, dear...your methods for growing, preserving & storing food are all an inspiration to me in my prepping endeavors. I love it that your husband recycled old wood to build all of those beautiful shelves. Thank you so much for sharing...and, HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you and your family! 🥰
love watching your channel
Thanks Dan and Chelsea I really enjoyed that ìt just shows how much you're family work so hard. I keep saying family because you said you all get stuck in but you would rather not let your children be on the camera which I can appreciate up to them if they decide that is their choice. What a brilliant job Dan done of the pantry I knew it would be good but it was better than even I expected as I've said you two make such a great couple. I dread to think how much that took you all plus giving the kitchen a smarter look. I can just imagine the family will be looking forward to a break in the holidays? We don't celebrate thanksgiving but I hope you make the most of yours tell Dan to have a break I'm really excited to seeing the bunkie house ɓut I would rather see a Dan rested and you so please enjoy yourselves and have a good holiday you all deserve it? Jean
Dan has been busy you go Dan. Knew you were down there redoing but so so nice.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️love you and watching everything you share
Well, I didn’t think I could be more impressed with your pantry as I was last year but I was wrong. Spectacular! I started following you about a year ago and have been so inspired. But living in the southern USA our bug situation is pretty bad. I wouldn’t know how to long term store anything without it all becoming infested. I’ve learned so much by watching you videos. Thank you!!
Canning and freezing.
I have been waiting to see your pantry !! 😊😊😊
Gulp down some pickle juice, & it gets rid of cramps. I don't always have lemon juice on hand for leg cramps.
Chelsea - you look so proud and so you should! I also must say you look lovely! Must be partly because you have such a hard working and supportive family!
You are simply amazing Chelsea!! ThankQ for letting us into your home!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Loved watching your pantry tour! I thought the freeze dried foods in the jars were absolutely gorgeous! Everything was beautiful, but those in particular were eye-catching. I'm going to start saving my pennies to get myself one. Thanks for sharing not only your pantry, but life on your ranch as well, Chelsea, Dan and family!
what an incredible job you have done and I hope you enjoy that well deserved winter break!!! must say my favourite takeaway was that electronic mouse repeller gizmo and I had to pause the video right there and plunk that into my amazon cart! wow if that really works I'm going to be sooo happy thank you for mentioning it - I'm over this mouse business ugh ugh ugh
I'm going to watch last year's to get ready for tomorrow - can't wait!
♥️
Worth the wait - fantastic job!
I’ve been looking forward to this video 😃
Love the idea of double sided tape for the labels on your shelves.
Add water chestnuts to egg foo yung along with your sprouts. Yum, & adds a really good crunch & texture.
Chelsea and Dan family I have watched for years. Your basement remodel and panty looks so inviting . I remember you talking and showing your plans. Great job!!
So impressive! My organized loving brain just loved how neat and tidy everything is. It's a beautifully displayed work of heart. And the labels look SO NICE! Super job Chelsea.
Very nice. Lots of hard work, but worth all the effort.
I was looking forward to this video!!! Wow, so nice!!! 😊 Thank you for sharing!!
Your pantry is magszine worthy! Kudos to all your hard work. You and your husband are quite the team.try using that green micemeat for mincemeat cookies.cheers!
Your pantry is beautiful and so organized. I enjoyed your tour very much, thank you!
Great tour. Your storage is fantastic. A job well done.
Such a beautiful pantry and a wonderful family who work so hard, but certainly enjoy their life. Blessings
Congratulations Chelsea and Dan. Beautiful pantry!
WOW your panty is great I new you had done alot of canning I've watched them but had no idea you and your family must be so proud ❤🇨🇦
Can see your passion in this.
Thank you for sharing this video tour!
Thank you so much for sharing. Your videos has provided security for my family this winter. ❤. Please continue to post.
I'm a single person of 71, have canned in the past, but your hard work and beautiful pantry amaze me! I especially love the segments you cook.
I’ve been waiting impatiently for your pantry video to arrive! Such an achievement to get this all done
A beautiful food store for you and your family. Thank you for sharing your hard work with us 🥰
Such a beautiful pantry congratulations to both of you😊
I really enjoyed the video. I’m jealous of your pantry. I live in a very small house with no basement. I have a garage but it isn’t heated so I can’t store canned goods there. I have jars in every nook and cranny in my house.
So impressive Chelsea! Can you please do some recipe videos showing how to use your freeze dried items? Thank you.
You guys are amazing. Love watching your show and what you've done I can for probably 50 something years I started helping my mom and I just absolutely love to look at canned goods that people have done and you have done an amazing job amazing job and your husband too
Hi can you by chance tell me what it is you put in your French onion soup
Oh my gosh, I’ve been looking forward to this video and it was wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing it. It must feel so good to know your food needs are met and you can take care of your family. Lots of interesting things I’d like to try. 👍
What a great job Dan and you have done with updates to your home, now settle back and enjoy some down time you’ve had a busy season 😊🍁
Thank you both for sharing your food storage with all of us😊 it's wonderful to see you and your families hard work over the last year turn in to all these beautiful jars of food.
Simply amazing and inspiring! Thank you for the video.
I’ve been waiting for this!! 🎉
Amazing video, thanks for sharing.
Your hair is so pretty !
Love love loved this!
Wow u have worked so hard Dan has done a fantastic job he is so good at building u are lucky u don’t need some one to come and do things he has made so professional well done on a year of hard wk sit and relax annoy the fruits of your labour
Wahoo, I can't wait, plus it's at a good time to watch in New Zealand. I've been watching you since you only had a few thousand followers, and I enjoy watching you so much. Your pantry is amazing! You also look very beautiful in this photo, but you always do. 😊
Thank you so much for sticking with us all these years. ❤
That’s quite an achievement, and I hope you are proud and satisfied. Maybe the winter will be more relaxing now, right? 🙂
Time to prep for next pre-spring.. should be good ‘til March, tho. This kind of life is so exciting that you can ONLY take a “physical” break.. the “Beat Goes ON”!
Very impressive. Great job.
WOW! WOW! WOW! Chelsea you should feel incredibly proud of all you have accomplished with your various food storage! Absolutely incredible all the work and thought that has gone in to its development! I can on a very micro scale in comparison but know what a feeling it is to know that no matter how crazy our world gets I have a decent supply of food for my family. Your organization is something most of us only dream of! It’s clear to see both you and Dan have been working to create a food storage environment that is functional and accessible. It’s also easy to see the knowledge you have about the quantities you require for your family’s size. Seriously I was blown away by your amazing pantry it’s as beautiful as it is edible! It’s easy to see from the smile on your face that this pantry creates a sense of security and relief knowing it’s there for the next year. Thank you thank you thank you for sharing this with us again this year and congratulations on your incredibly ambitious food storage accomplishment! Bravo 👏🏻 deserves a standing ovation! I hope your family knows how incredibly blessed they are to have a mother and father who cares for their well-being and that they consume the most nutritious and highest quality of ingredients so that their bodies can thrive. God bless you and your entire family! 🥰❤️🙏🏻🍁🇨🇦
I waited ever so patiently for the Pantry Tour. I am so happy for all you and Dan achieved. I watched every video and remember each and every item you canned( i feel like i did it with you,my kids want to know where mine are). Congratulations on all your dedication and magnificent outcome.
