You can slice oranges in a mason jar and pour honey over it. Canned a few months and makes great orange liqueur w/Vit C and the slices also gives a nice sweet treat alone or addition to toast instead of avocados toast it's 🍊 toast in the morning tea/coffee. Also helped up daily Vit C. Intakes.
That is my goal for my future, I know I wouldn't survive off the grid completely (and there are some aspects of the "modern" world I still enjoy) but I do want to add more natural stuff not just to my diet but to my lifestyle. I know people say you can get natural stuff at the grocery stores but there have been multiple out breaks in foods like baby spinach so I'd rather be able to grow it myself and know what all is going into it. I basically want to live like the "Practical Magic" women 😂
@@crystalheart9108same!! Yes, the comment below @DBT1007 has a great suggestion! Thanks 🙏 you!!Not sure where you are from, but WI has a few places like these! I’m sue many other states too, I just loved WI myself! I plan on making my way up there hopefully next ear summer or fall to check out the village in WI! PS I’ve seen some many comments that really love 💕 this way of living, and they are one. If the nicest person who don’t mind giving advice! It’s SO great to see how others live. All of them are so unique in their own way ❤ And took some hard work to obtain their open peace ✌️ I SO wish there would be a platform where we A’s a collective l, can all talk,get to know each other, give advice , share stories on how they got started and how we can make this happen!!!! Thank you so much for your comment, reminds me there are so many great people out there!
@@perfectlysmart91 still the same in the sense the honey doesn't go bad, but it loses the whip texture pretty easily. Someone gave us some and in a couple weeks it was separated,a little bit of foam on top and just regular honey on the bottom
@@JugglingJuggalos That would be tasty, but, they are not growing their own nor foraging cacao. Seems to buy the chocolate would totally violate with objective to live off what they have grown or foraged
The power of social media is real. We live completly different lifes. I would never have known you could eat half the things you've shown us and forget processing them. That was completly foreign to me. Thank you for sharing your journey and your knowledge with us.
@MinervaAlvarez-dx3jc the Hohokam, Ancestral Puebloans and Navajo of Arizona subsisted off the land and managed meagre water sources for generations, you assume nothing can grow there because you are extremely dependent on a Western-centric lifestyle and diet
You guys are living the dream! I can't imagine how statisfying for your soul it must be to live and thrive off the stuff you grow, forage and prep yourself, instead of spending money in a store. I hope I can live life in a way close to this in the future
Dream? No, no thank you. I much prefer to spend all the money to eat whatever the heck I want, whenever I want, with no need to have 15 fridges, freezers and hutches to store the 150 Mason jars of preserves and meat with every surface in my place being covered in gourds. Not to mention the dozens of hours, if not hundreds to harvest, clean,store, preserve and butcher all the crap I am now stuck with. Take all my money!!! Please don't make me do this lol.
Keep going. If you haven’t gotten into fermented garlic, it’s a good way to eat garlic in a new way, use up some honey and makes a great salad dressing.
I wonder what it would take to live 100% off the land. Like if there was no full time job sucking up time. My biggest hurdle is having enough space for preserved food. Jars jars everywhere. I choose self stable preservation because 4 years ago we lost power for 2 weeks and our generator had to be used for limited stuff. Even with our off grid solar going up this year, i dont think ill trust electricity with that much of mine and my kids hard work again. My daughter has her own garden space and lost most of her pears, berries and all of the deer she killed that season. It was heartbreaking to watch.
@HomegrownHandgathered exactly, we are at only 1 income from outside the homestead. My salary was replaced by selling at farmers markets, but it took 11 years to get there because I had to master raising chickens for eggs and planting fruit trees/ bushes and waiting for them to be consistent and learning how to treat each individual tree to get the best yield. We just started selling raw dairy right off the property because that's how it's legal near me. I can only reasonably care for 3 cows at a time myself and 5 goats. It's good money, but we're a 4 person operation and the kids are only 10 and my husband still works. One day, thats the dream. Slow, simple and satisfying living.
A century ago, people living out of the city LIVED on this YEAR ROUND! And centuries before , without existing fridges or freezers. That’s amazing! Just wonderful to know that if any of their crops had failed, these 2 could drive to the next city and buy groceries there. Thanks God for abundance!
We have my great great great grandmother's diaries from 1866 and on. She was a young bride living in rural Illinois, about 150 yrs ago. The difference for a lot of those folks is that they had much larger gardens, traded with neighbors for certain food staples, but would still go into town to purchase things like big bags of flour, sugar, etc, and sometimes even sold their surplus to the general store owner. Most people survived bc they were attached to a community of some kind, even if the next neighbor family was a few miles away.
Ummmm, I think you have a very romanticized version of history in your head. Food markets were a thing since humans settled because not everyone has everything. Especially a hundred years ago. That was 1924 and there were supermarkets, it wasn't like "our little farm" or whatever this show was called.
Curious to know how your health is? More specifically your blood work and how you feel? I would imagine it is amazing but curious to see the actual results
@@DontAssume123 because the food they eat contains high quality micro and macro nutrients due to most of it being grown/ foraged and non or minimally processed.
@@TMcGee123 their food is no different than if you bought it at the store though nutrient wise, like scientifically the differences are abysmal. So bloodwork wise it shouldn't be different, and especially not from their food. Also even at the store corn, walnuts, etc aren't "processed" a chicken nugget is what you would call processed vs say a chicken wing or whole chicken.
@@DontAssume123 meat has protein. Also don't forget processed foods has preservatives,carbs and sugar is actually what causes health problem, cancer, and obesity.
@@samorroberts3126 you'd be suprised how much our food is tampered with . But yes fruits n veg at store should be okay although they do put chemicals on them. So if they are growing it themselves, as long as they aren't using as many chemicals it could be healthier. If you compare our food from Europe where most things are band, you'd be suprised that you can eat a baguette a day without gaining weight. Here people are "gluten intolerant" and have IBS because of how bad Canadian and USA food is.
I wish you were my neighbor. I would let you use my yard to plant. Whatever you want, long as I get some of it, God bless you and your family. Keep up the good work.😂❤
I really wanna raise/take care of a beehive in the future. Maybe you can make a vid about how you got started on your bee keeping journey? ....like, where did you get the bees from, and the little rectangular hive too keep them in, how do you care for them?
We actually have a longer video from this past Spring where we show how we captured the swarm for the hive. I don’t think we included how we built the hive box, but it’s pretty simple, basically just a big rectangle 😂
Make honey comb candy. Heat honey and add baking powder. It will bubble up high. Then pour onto a well buttered pan and cool. You can also dip the candy in chocolate. Look up the recipe!
Y'all are my idols. It's been amazing watching your journey. You have inspired me to pursue foraging more seriously and to learn about eating seasonally- a lost art! Thanks for sharing with us. ❤
Try making fermented garlic honey with your honey, we use it when sick or feeling sick, boosts immunity. Shelf stable for a long time! Garlic is easy to grow & you have plenty of honey to do so!
Would you consider selling honey to buy things you couldn't grow. Would that count for the challenge or defeat the purpose. Or alternatively trading it for something a friend grew.
I'd been wondering if trading your honey or fruit for someone else's canned veg would violate the challenge. Bartering/trading fits in with frontier living.
I'd trade some honey for my surplus basil and rosemary. I got alot of thyme too. That can help flavor those shrooms and meat. And my lemons are almost ready for the winter crop. Sadly I don't live near them. 😅
I was headed to a hike on Friday and noticed a dead deer on the side of the road; I stopped and checked and she was clearly a very fresh roadkill so I brought her home and we just finished processing her today. She was hit in the head so we were able to salvage over 50lbs of her meat. We had steaks for dinner tonight and they tasted no different than the deer I got during hunting season earlier this winter. Quite the blessing.
I thought you had to check with your local Wildlife people because they have a list of people who get first chance at road kill? It could be different state to state.
I hang dried my corn this year as well!!! Works so amazing!!! Coildnt believe it was so easy!!! Wish id done it long vecor3 now. My family always did gardening and i never was interested. So thankful i helped and learned and payed attention. Im gonna have a massive garden this upcoming season!!! Definitely planting beans and peas. And peppers anr onlions. Love drying my food to keep it ❤.
I'm a new order Mennonite and my husband is an ex- old order Amish we moved to Arizona over 20 years ago so to his military job.. living in Arizona hard to live off the land. We are moving back to our home state of New York and living in the finger lakes area so we can get back to living off the land. I miss going outside and getting fresh lay eggs and hand milking a cow and growing our own fresh fruit and vegetables. Here in Arizona there is no farm land and it is hard to grow fresh fruit and vegetables and fruit trees.
Hello there. Did you end up moving ? I hope your getting to live your dream. I bought my chickens from a Mennonite woman who was moving. She and all her children were so lovely. I think fondly of her
Swapping your extra stock (honey) in exchange for some other foods should be allowed in your challenge. It would be interesting to know what others have in their garden pantry.
Thank you for sharing your health choices of food. Our you able to do bake goods like different bread or cake. In every ethnic group they have recipes for bread and sweet that are little to no ingredients. I know this will expand your taste buds.keep going looking good and tasting delicious. Love Mom
Imagine if more people lived like this or even just a fraction of this caliber. Homegrow is def the way i wanna go but ill still treat myself to the occasional 'exotic' food here and there lol
Oooh next time do the fermentation and honey infused things ( sorry brain dead and can’t give you all the awesome words pertaining to it). Good luck and keep going
Question : how do you protect all your pantry food from rodents and other undesirable insects? I would love to know if there are some humane ways to do som Thanks.
If you were to trade some of your surplus honey for more variety, would you count that as in line with your challenge? Or would it feel like cheating? 😂 Thank you for your posts; your attitude and kindness are inspiring!
I believe there might be enough to go two more months😊.. In that case you would have self sustained the entire winter... Maybe this is the year you complete this challenge🎉.. Rooting for you guys
First time I'm seeing this channel looks very interesting. Out of curiosity what type of squash do you grow and how do you cook and eat it? GOD Bless you and your family
That's awesome! Congrats, it must be so satisfying! I have my own chillie peppers from the balcony but my dream is having the place with garden, bees, veggies and a looot more chillies xD
Someday, this is exactly how I want to live. Gardening most of my food and preserving it. And I didn't know you could grow mushrooms that easily, now that's exciting!
So I have a weird question do you find that your yield is higher from year to year or have you narrowed in on the foods you eat the most of and then grow more of that and stop growing other, for what ever reason?
Yea it’s usually higher from year to year because we’ve been doing a lot of experimenting and getting more efficient at producing stuff in our small growing space
It reminds me of my grandma the way she farms her own food for the year, and excess goes to families or the market! I wonder if you do any barterring with friends or neighbours? you could trade for more beans with whatever excess you have?
The way that that honey wouldn't last in my household... and it's just me. I just put honey in like all my drinks and on my yoghurt and use it in place of sugar if I have the option. I. Love. Honey.
The squirrels would go bananas if they got into your place 😆

Why liqueur? Is there enough water to let it turn to alkohol?
@@SaheeliRaiit’s kinda like alcohol but it’s more a syrup then anything kinda like fruit fizzy drinks left out to ferment for a couple days.
Do you leave the peels on the oranges? And how many months would you say it needs to ferment?
Nice and easy recipe - less complicated than those requiring brandy and dried bitter orange peels

Mites killed all our bees this winter. What do you do to ward off mites and keep your bees healthy
I would love to know also. I lost two hives this winter 😢
So I have a weird question do you find that your yield is higher from year to year or have you narrowed in on the foods you eat the most of and then grow more of that and stop growing other, for what ever reason?
Yea it’s usually higher from year to year because we’ve been doing a lot of experimenting and getting more efficient at producing stuff in our small growing space
Amazing! So organized
Wow guys, great job!! This is amazing.

It reminds me of my grandma the way she farms her own food for the year, and excess goes to families or the market! I wonder if you do any barterring with friends or neighbours? you could trade for more beans with whatever excess you have?
So much beautiful produce 😊llove it thanks 😊❤❤❤❤
The way that that honey wouldn't last in my household... and it's just me. I just put honey in like all my drinks and on my yoghurt and use it in place of sugar if I have the option. I. Love. Honey.
I would be in heaven this is real food! Nothing better!!!
You all are so inspiring! Honestly goals! (btw you look so much like Amy Adams)
This is so awesome I love it!
I would love some of that harvested honey. 😍
