    Sorry, if I made it sound like I paid $30 something a pound for the beef from my local farmer! I was referring to what it would have cost me to buy a beef tenderloin from Costco. I paid last year $4-ish for the hanging weight for half a beef for grass-fed grass-finished beef. When buying local meats the price can vary greatly in different parts of the country and based on what the farmer chooses to feed their animals. One of the awesome things about buying from a local farmer is you can ask them all those questions and know exactly what you are buying.

    • @LittleVillageHomestead
      @LittleVillageHomestead 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +21

      I am in Michigan and I purchased my beef from a local farmer this past spring and I paid 3.50 per pound for hanging weight and that was processed and delivered. I ordered another quarter that will be ready in January for the same price.

      Becky, do you guys have a generator? You once mentioned that power outages are not an infrequent occurrence. We don’t have freezers, but since both of us work from home, we have a ton of computer equipment. A generator is something we’ve considered after a couple of outages at seriously inconvenient times. If you have one, can you talk about how you chose one & why?

    • @Just-Nikki
      @Just-Nikki 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It took us 4ish years to purchase our 3 freezers. I cook twice a day every day and we don’t eat out often and no fast food at all, which is the only way I justified getting almost one a year. One for beef, one for chicken and pork and one for everything else. Honestly though, I have enjoyed canning quite a bit of meat recently for faster meal prep. I think that’s an economical solution and takes up less space for people who don’t have room for multiple freezers.

    Freeze dried corn is amazing. And frees up tons of freezer space. You really need to try it. We store ours in 1/2 gallon Mason jars. Reconstitute quickly and tastes like just picked corn.

    Hi Becky. Your chest freezers are so organized. In regards to rendering your tallow, use your Nesco Roaster. My mother always did hers on the stove. But, I have done bear fat in the Neso, it is so much easier. Do it outside or in your garage due to the smell of rendering. Good luck with the rendering.

    I would never have a pork Loin or Tenderloin ground up. The loin turns into 3 or 4 different types of meals. The ends I'll use for carnitas and Bar-B-Q pulled pork. The middle I'll cut into boneless Pork Chops (they are so tender) and a roast. The Tenderloins will be butterflied and stuffed. So many options are possible with the loins and Tenderloins.

    Enjoying your content Becky! What a great idea to freeze the prewash spinach, I do chopped kale which is so convenient for soups, casseroles, stews, pasta etc., but never thought of spinach. Also love the apple pie filling - another great idea especially when produce is in season and on special. I'll have to check out your videos on how to process carrots for freezing and what do you do with the green peppers as I find they come out mushy after freezing.
    I don't have a garden & no space for an extra freezer but I always take advantage of seasonal produce especially with great prices. Over the last couple of weeks, we were able to get full size carrots .84 for 3lbs which is an awesome price for our area, stocked up and love them steamed with broccoli.

    I love your pantry's. I have four freezers just got in touch with a farmer who will deliver. I am going to get a 1/2 cow this will be the largest freezer. I use one of the freezers for vegetables from my garden. The remaining mid size freezer will be for pork when we eat it down. I going to use my old stand up freezer for meal prep left overs. I got a pressure canner last year so I can learn to can and that will free up some freezer space. I did get a whole home generator for protection and peace of mind. Still have a ways to go. I am planning on enclosing my back porch for future plans. I have converted my garage in to my food storage pantry it has taken a while to get there, but I feel so much better. I am am able to help others and my family. I am learning will be retiring in next 5-7 years and trying to get situated now that home and vehicles are done. Scares me when they talk about seniors being in poverty looking for food. Love love your work, thank you.

    I live in the deep south on the Gulf of Mexico. We have a four month hurricane season during summer and early fall. Also many, many, rumbling, tumbling, ground shaking thunder storms. We lose power so often! When I saw your giant freezers the first thing I thought was, "boy I hope she has a generator for backup." I can't tell you how many packed freezers I've lost in 50 years to storm outages. We finally invested in several natural gas generators and they have been a life saver.

I have a question though, your family is small and you have so much food. How can a small family eat that much food. I think it's great that you store and organize everything. I just wondered how a small family can eat all that. I am a single grandmother and my fridge, freezer cabinet and small 3 shelf pantry are full and I can't eat all of it. So it made me curious about how you do that.

    Hello! I don't think I could go a month without chuck roast. We eat it a lot. Have you ever tried your Roast in the instant pot? No stove needed! 40 minutes and let the pressure go out on its own, which is another 40 minutes or when you get to it. It makes amazing pulled beef for sandwiches and you got to try Roast Beef Chilli or a roast beef and cheese on top of your summer salad. I love it so much I can it. Back in 2021 I had an amish pig coming and had to get rid of some meat and that's how it got started. You made me hungry cooking those beans, so I made my Toast Beef Chilli.❤

    For the beef tongue I take it out of the plastic and rinse off the blood. Then I place it in a crockpot on the stovetop since you have gas, you may want to put a cutting board under it. Then place the tongue inside the crockpot, and fill it with water until it covers the tongue. I them use a lot of garlic powder and pepper. You can use salt but I try not to use salt if I do not have to. And cook it over night for 8 hours or until tender. Every crockpot is different. In the morning I take it out into a cutting board with a dripped edge or a large bowl and I take off the skin off of the tip of the tongue. It’s thick so you can tell and bumpy. Then chop like you are making chopped pork. Serve with hot flour or corn tortillas, salsa, onions, tomato’s, cilantro and avocado, Yum!!! Serve hot, you can add a little of the hot juice from the crockpot to mix it so it’s not too dry if it is or when you store the rest. I freeze what’s left.

Will you be posting a spicy carrots recipe? I also LOVE those. And one last thing - will you be linking your videos from the recipes on your website? That would be even better! So happy to see you thriving! I've loved being along for the journey from the beginning. I subscribed when you had 30k! Now look at you, ROCKSTAR!!

    The beef tongue my Mexican people call it, Lengua. They eat it Iike barbacoa in tacos.
    I have never eaten it nor have I had cabeza, slow oven cooked cow head.
    I hear they're both good, idk, I'm too chicken chit to eat anything other than ground beef and chicken breats.
    If you look up Lengua recipes I'm sure you'll find tons of ways to cook it.

      I have the Hamilton Beach upright that they sell at Costco. It doesn’t store as much as Becky’s but each shelf is a drawer and has coils under each drawer so the cold stays in. So far I like it, but it’s not frost free which is an inconvenience.

    Becky, I aspire to be as organized as you! We bought a WHOLE cow because it was only about $500-$600 more than a half. I now have 2 large chest freezers in the basement and an upright freezer in the garage. I’ve been canning like a fiend the past year and a half, but it’s just me and my husband (empty nesters!), so we give a lot away. Your meals and bulk shopping/cooking/baking are a great inspiration! We’re going to redo our kitchen (to the studs!) and wondered if you have any suggestions that you may be considering.

      Not Becky, but things I've learned from her kitchen - solid-surface counters that can handle hot pots put on them as well as stain-resistant is important; those drawers with the glass fronts on her island are AMAZING. If I were building a kitchen, I would want an appliance garage for my "small" appliances (Instant pot, airfryer, crockpot, toaster, mixer, food processor) so they were on a pull-out/pull-up/down shelf I could use them on because some of them are just too heavy to heave around the way Becky does. I love her empty counter tops and the "garage" would help keep stuff out of the way.

      Not Becky, but I’m 68 and have learned that having a large pantry with baskets for produce storage, countertops in the pantry to store your small appliances you don’t use that often also, put in plenty of outlets, countertops in the kitchen that can handle hot pots, also maybe a marble counter top to make your pastry. Also all your bottom cabinets should be drawers, so much easier to keep your bowls, pots and pans, Tupperware, or storage containers in the drawers.

Also pork roast ar so good just like a pot roast with the onions and all the roots vegetables then you can use the leftovers for taco Tuesday or Barbecue sandwiches. I als😢o love crockpot sweet and sour pork that is something nyounmight be able to use you mock 🍍 pineapple crushed.. I use the one in Joy of cooking but modify heavily. Its basically a vinegar and then your sweet pineapple. I add onions, peppers , garlic power,onion powder and brown sugar, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. After cooking for 3-4:hours i add more peppers and onions so they are not cooked down and whole pineapple. I add cornstarch to thicken.
