Hey Josiah. You are noticed, understood and appreciated. As a 2nd born son, I identify so strongly with you. You shone (shined??) during Jonah's mishap, and it was noticed. I was "along for the ride" when you and Jonah struggled. I hope you keep an online presence, as I feel like a godparent; invested in your outcomes. Merry Christmas to you boy, and know that you've had a positive impact in the World. That's quite an accomplishment for a lad your age! Enjoy it and feel the blessings of it. (It's amazing watching you use the heavy machines and seeing your dad crow about it!). My Christmas gift to you, is that you enjoy the ride. Thanks for letting the folks poke the camera in your face!
Owning my own jewelry store here in New York has always been a dream, and now that I've expanded to three stores, earning $28K weekly has not only transformed my business operations but also enabled me to give back to my community and support the church in ways I never thought possible.
It is simply the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US amd abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus.
Welcome to the freeze drying community. We got ours 2 yrs ago and love it. Eggs do well if you add salt. Pork doesn't do well for long term, it goes rancid. John in Bibs does the best meals. Sugar does not do well. Any sugary food will explode so be prepared. We have dried onions, bell peppers, celery, oregano, basil, mint for seasonings. minced or powdered.
Hey Jonah. Thanks for bringing the rest of us along on your journey. 17 y.o. you is . . . interesting. But many of us have been here since you were 6 and enjoy watching you discover the man you're becoming. Especially after your accident and amazing recovery. You be who it is you need to be. You're reminding me of what I was like at 17. I think you're doing a fair better job that I did! 🤣🤣 I was a miserable moodly SOB!. All we ask is that you listen to your Papa and your Mom, and perhaps consider what those of us along for the ride might care to offer. But for now, I happen to think you're smashing it! We appreciate it when you're open and having fun. It's gotta be a weight however, having so many of us living vicariously through you. (Ask your folks if you're not sure what that means). But what it means, is gratitude.
Hey Lily. I didn't have any natural sisters but if I had one I think I would want them to be like you. Your creativity, your amazing contributions in the kitchen, your service to your family, your rugged individualism, your passion for your horses is wonderful. I don't have a lot of experience with sisters, but I think you are in the top-10!
If nobody else said this, you are going to want to move your pump away from the freeze dryer. During the vacuum phase, the freeze dryer and pump get hot. It's best to allow lots of airflow for your pump. I have my pump on the shelf below my freeze dryer and even then, it still gets hot sometimes. You're going to love it though!
I’ve had a freeze dryer for about 3 years now. Love it for “fast food” dinners. Chili, stews, soups, spaghetti, seared chicken, fruit, fruit powders, stir fry veggie mixes, raw eggs for baking, and sauces. All great for quick rehydration and 10 minute dinners, without any preservatives! Just avoid high fat foods, and sugars, like honey. Sugars bubble and cover your freeze dryer, and high fats foods can cause problems with fully extracting all the water. The fat can encapsulate parts with water still in it. Also fats go rancid after about a year, lowering your shelf life considerably. Also great for most garden produce.
You can do juices if you add more water 1st, then freeze dry. You can also get covers to keep the bubbling from getting away from you. However, honey doesn't seem freeze-dryable. Recommend crystallizing if you want/need a powdered form.
Hey Gideon. I think it's amazing to watch Mr. Brown grow up and come of age. It's amazing to watch you help your Papa, to love on your Mama, and to treat Henry like's he's the Internet's Most Famousest Baby, to appreciate your sister, to have fun with your brothers and their friends! I love watching you help out and climb around all over everything! You're an absolutely perfect addition to the mix -- But I miss the long crazy hair!
We left our homestead to our kids. We just returned after 8 months of being underway on the America’s Great Loop. We will spend the week trimming trees and wintering while they go on vacation.
wow, Amazing I think Jonah was six. I started watching you when you had 20 videos lol. I watched the one on my gardening feed, liked it, and saw you only had 20 so I watched them all and I have been watching ever since.
You will love your freeze dryer...try slicing fresh tomatoes, freeze dry, powder...reconstitute with chicken broth, a pat of butter/cream, salt and pepper for a wonderful tomato soup. Tastes like summertime! So nutritious, too. Slice apples, roll in cinnamon, freeze dry for a treat for anyone.
I love watching you show! I watch it everyday! I've learned so much. Hope you and the family have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Great job! 😊❤🙏🙏
Awe, you all are such good people. I have been watching for many years, probably since the beginning and have loved watching your kids grow. Merry Christmas to all of you!
The first born is always the Guinea pig for parents because there is no other choice. Parenting is on the job learning. No one can fully prepare you for the impact. And the joy. Grandparenting on the other hand is smooth sailing. It’s the reward for all the stress of parenting. Grandparenting is all pleasure and memory making and no stress. Be a positive force for enriching your grandchildren’s lives and a respite for their parents.
We have a freeze dryer, and we love it. If you want to freeze liver, I would suggest freezing it first to take a lot of work off of the unit. Of all the wonderful things you can do with a freeze dryer and introduce it to your viewers, liver has to be the strangest choice ever. But hey, you once ate raw meat in a butchering day video and tried to convince others to do the same. Come harvest time, that freeze dryer will be working overtime snd pay for itself the first year. But whenever you can, freeze the item first (your freezer is already on anyway) and that cuts down the time needed for the FD to do the job.
The noise level in your home seems pretty high. Probably you are used to it, but have you considered hanging some quilt art or any kind of wall hangings to soften all those hard surfaces? How about some sheep skins? Not a priority, I'm sure.
Papa, you and your family make my days brighter. Have learned so much. A wonderful family! Thank you for all you all share! Merry Christmas and a blessed New Years! God Bless!🎄🙏🏻❤️
Mamma's first....bless you....Mamma's work quietly hard....glad you are feeling better Justin....love seeing, Johna is feeling included in choices..even if they are small choices...Lighten your load...he is eager to show he is ready.....He's smiling...today.....Feeling like your voice is appreciated is so important....it makes you feel like holding your head up, interacting instead of going quiet. You are building your future communication skills...as he is soon an adult....The flerd is a good idea for now...making winter chores in cold weather simpler...1 fence 1 water. Nice video.
I have enjoyed watching your channel since I found it during the hurricane. I have been binge watching your old videos, and I just love it!! Your family is amazing!! I haven’t watched a video that I didn’t like!! So happy for yall!! So happy that yall get to be in the remodeled house before Christmas!! Happy Day and Merry Christmas!🎄 ❤️🙏🏻
The blessings abound, Cousin Justin! These chiddlers are so mighty in their persistent growth. Cheers to you and Freddie for making plans to attract them to the homestead with fun and friends. This year has been such a mix of joy and sorrow. May you all feel a foundation of joy that continuously expands and grows throughout your community.
Y'all have been my TH-cam family Uncle Justin since 2012! Blessed for your content and experiences of expertise! I used the freeze dryer on a table but a utility cart is best (Harvest Right has one back-ordered) so the pump can be on the bottom with the bucket for drainage bucket! No extension cords! READ the whole book and The Homestead Family -Carolyn Thomas wrote a book to help! Let the machine sit 24 hrs after delivery and 1st time using is do bread and give the machine a clean-up from any factory.
I have been freeze drying for over 3 years, I love it. My favorite fruit is pineapple and apples, peaches and pears are OK but not my favorite. I have 8 - 27 gallon totes full of all kinds of freeze dried food. Potatoes, carrots, peas, zucchini, onions, garlic, cheese, milk, lots of raw eggs, green pepper, jalapeno, cabbage, cucumbers, cherries, tomatoes, celery, cooked black beans, cooked ground beef, banana, rhubarb, mushrooms, asparagus, and I LOVE all the herbs I put through my freeze dryer. I do more ingredients instead of meals. The sky is the limit.
That is so true about the first born having to wait longer for certain responsibilities. Our sons wanted to get a knife. Said the oldest needed to be 9 before he could get it and then once he got it the younger brother could stand it that he got one so then we let him have one. Before this they were finding scraps of metal and sharpening them to be able to cut things. Now they have dozens of knifes each in less than a year. Lol.
The greatest gift to us the viewers, is you sharing the growing-up of your kids with us. That's huge. Hey Jonah and Josiah, Lily and soon-to-be Gideon and Henry. Thank you for sharing, and please don't resent the video'ed life. You essentially have a million godparents out here who want to see you flourish and prosper. Well, some are probably not as "invested" as others. But you have a LOT of people out here covering you with prayers, wishing you the best, cheering your triumphs, helping you carry your burdens. And probably more than a few of us who would make sacrifice to see your future ventures succeed. Jonah is particular. You had a LOT of people covering you with prayer and wishing you all the best with your accident. And then seeing Josiah rise to the challenge in a way that made us proud to be a part of the journey. Yea, both "roles" that fate selected for you were tough in their own way. But you triumphed and we're proud to have been along for the ride. Yea, "online community" is a totally new and perhaps even quirky thing. But please recognize the great asset you have in a LOT of "rando-strangers" being invested in seeing you do well in Life. BTW SO AMAZING you have the comments unblocked these days. Trolls enter her at your own peril!
Age for driving farm vehicles depends on the child. I used an old peddle sewing machine and cut the grass at age 10. I then moved up to using our table saw at 12 years old, after being my dad's helper for years and years... Still got all my fingers...
My son drilled a hole at the top of my bucket to run the drain hose through, I only push it through a little bit so it can’t suck water back into the machine when you release the pressure
Hey Justin. Just a note of appreciation for your sharing your family with us all. With all honesty, yours is the first channel I go to for quality of family programming. You've assembled yourself quite "the crew" there. You are the quintessential father -- encouraging and protecting and enabling the success of your offspring while loving so amazingly on your wife. You ARE America -- and we appreciate that SO much! Christmas blessings and best prayers for zero pain! Please, never under-estimate the value of what you put out to TH-cam. Watching the two of you so in love with each other is an American Treasure. The core of American Society -- with each and every one of your children a totally unique jewel in your crown. It's so wholesome I could cry.
It is loud downstairs because you have smooth flat surfaces with 90 degree corners a wall or ceiling in wood with small varied straps like skinny board and batton (sp?) would help.
FYI. Freeze dried scrambled eggs are weird. They have a weird texture. But freeze dried powdered eggs are awesome. They rehydrate great and tastes like fresh.
I am watching your children & my Grandchildren grow up the same time. My Grandchildren are not homesteaders, but they do have many chores they need to do as yours also do. Mine do go to a Public School & are involved in Wrestling, Football, Basketball & Baseball. We like to keep them busy.
Bekka. Yea. This whole enterprise starts and ends with Bekka. I heard a wonderful line once, from a young male singer. "Mom, without your devotion, surely your lad I dreamed of would fail". th-cam.com/video/MaaCivbKr_4/w-d-xo.html I don't know if I dare hope Rebekka has the time to listen to this. But I think it summarizes the continuing success of your family. Please know that there are those of us out here who recognize your pivotal, often background role in this venture. I'm so glad Justin remembers. You are noticed, and appreciated. Christmas blessings, and beyond.
After freeze drying for more than 2 years, I've found that proteins and dairy are real$ savers, and freeze dried ice cream is the biggest crowd pleaser. FB's The Freeze Drying Community offers a lot of experience to prevent mistakes, since some foods don't freeze dry well (like hot dogs or honey). A quick search there saves lots of headaches. I predict that you'll love your machine, especially during harvest season. Best Wishes & Merry Christmas!
Spinach is my favorite green vegetable. I use it in place of lettuce and eat it just about every day. I've been doing this for years, and I am still alive and well so I don't think it is poison. LOL Justin, good for you for putting your wife first but I do believe that your children know how much you sacrifice for them, too.
I'm a fan and subscriber to your channel, and though we live within city limits, we have a permaculture food forest instead of a front lawn, and raise chickens and keep rabbits in back. But I'm also a gun guy, and a Ruger firearms fan, so when you closed the episode with Jonah's Ruger 10/22 Takedown, now that's all I can remember about the episode. 😳😉 That's a handy firearm to have, Jonah. And nice of your friend to get you that BX-25 magazine. The 10-round rotary magazine would probably be sufficient for most jobs on the farm, but dealing with rats, possums, raccoons or whatever other varmints you have in NC, it's nice to have plenty of ammo on tap.
Freeze dried spinach then powder YES! I have a jar of mixed powdered greens, put a pinch in eggs no one will ever know 😊 you don't taste but get the nutrients
Becky you're really going to love this freeze machine, oh my goodness cog Hill farm. Has one and I think everything you think about they put in theirs 👍 and sometimes 👇 They even done up about five trays of flower blossoms for a lady to put in her goat milk soap. Oh they even have tried candy different types of candy. So yeah, so I hope to see you do something that is so extraordinary and unique and different with the freeze dry freezer.😊
I came across you and your beautiful family during hurricane helene and I’ve become hooked to watching y’all. I’m from the Uk and you have given me the growing bug. I’ve applied for an allotment plot as I live in a apartment, I got an email the other day to say we should have a plot in the new yr around spring time x
Happy wife Happy life. You don’t want to be in the dog house with her. Jonah was too funny on having to be persistent to drive the side by side. The oldest are always the guinea pig. Justin spinach good. 😂
Those freeze dryers are temperamental. I got mine from my parents and we both couldn't figure where there was a leak. It wouldn't get to the right vacuum.
Thats an easier way of making butter than I was taught. My Mom & stepdad used to do it by hand. Things have sure changed since I was a kid. I wouldn't have minded making butter like that! It was delicious though. I miss the cream from the milk and the butter. Yummy 😋 They milked a couple cows for several years and we drank the milk, there's nothing like fresh milk and butter. Thanks for sharing!!
Justin - Would you, Rebecca and all of your children -PLEASE- put out a video on gun safety, storage and responsibility?? I think it would not only be beneficial to all the children/youth viewers but many adults/parents who view also need this information. I hope all your children attend gun safety training with a certified instructor. Education and Certification are a key component part in any firearm ownership! I’m sure it’s great fun to shoot at targets. Never across a road with rounds (ie: 25 - 😨) tho! Please think about the mixed message you put out on this video. Thank you -
You should watch Cog Hill Farm's video of them freeze drying yogurt. They tried 3 different brands and Jason had a very strong opinion on one of them 😅
I know it’s not the coolest thing, but, even when I was in the military, PPE was always a priority. I’m not saying your boys need full on body armor, but eye protection should be a minimum. That little rifle probably doesn’t need much ear protection. Eyes are pretty important! 😂
Get yourself another set of trays so it makes it faster ,freeze your food first then put it in your freeze dryer doesn’t take as long also get some small Mylar bags to put your food in it with some oxygen absorbers or you can vacuum seal them in jars with oxygen absorbers .
Fun fussball battle. 😅 Butter accomplished. Freezedryer on the way to usefulness. Flerd ongoing. Feed gated safe. Learning to trade chores, priceless. Shooting practice, necessary. Potty training working!!! 💪 Inflammation easing down. Definitely a happy day!
I'll let you know, electrical multimeters are pretty cheap. You'll at least be able to tell if outlets are working without having to spend $ to call an electrician. (I am an electrician.)
Have your Wife try coloidial silver nasal spray. I do 4 shots in each natural at bedtime. Have her tilt her head back in bed so it goes into her sinus cavities. Kills infection immediately.😊
Hey Josiah. You are noticed, understood and appreciated.

I have 8 - 27 gallon totes full of all kinds of freeze dried food. Potatoes, carrots, peas, zucchini, onions, garlic, cheese, milk, lots of raw eggs, green pepper, jalapeno, cabbage, cucumbers, cherries, tomatoes, celery, cooked black beans, cooked ground beef, banana, rhubarb, mushrooms, asparagus, and I LOVE all the herbs I put through my freeze dryer. I do more ingredients instead of meals. The sky is the limit.

That is so true about the first born having to wait longer for certain responsibilities. Our sons wanted to get a knife. Said the oldest needed to be 9 before he could get it and then once he got it the younger brother could stand it that he got one so then we let him have one. Before this they were finding scraps of metal and sharpening them to be able to cut things. Now they have dozens of knifes each in less than a year. Lol.

The greatest gift to us the viewers, is you sharing the growing-up of your kids with us. That's huge. Hey Jonah and Josiah, Lily and soon-to-be Gideon and Henry. Thank you for sharing, and please don't resent the video'ed life. You essentially have a million godparents out here who want to see you flourish and prosper.
Well, some are probably not as "invested" as others.
But you have a LOT of people out here covering you with prayers, wishing you the best, cheering your triumphs, helping you carry your burdens. And probably more than a few of us who would make sacrifice to see your future ventures succeed. Jonah is particular. You had a LOT of people covering you with prayer and wishing you all the best with your accident. And then seeing Josiah rise to the challenge in a way that made us proud to be a part of the journey. Yea, both "roles" that fate selected for you were tough in their own way. But you triumphed and we're proud to have been along for the ride.
Yea, "online community" is a totally new and perhaps even quirky thing. But please recognize the great asset you have in a LOT of "rando-strangers" being invested in seeing you do well in Life.
BTW SO AMAZING you have the comments unblocked these days. Trolls enter her at your own peril!

Hey Justin. Just a note of appreciation for your sharing your family with us all. With all honesty, yours is the first channel I go to for quality of family programming. You've assembled yourself quite "the crew" there.
You are the quintessential father -- encouraging and protecting and enabling the success of your offspring while loving so amazingly on your wife.
You ARE America -- and we appreciate that SO much! Christmas blessings and best prayers for zero pain!
Please, never under-estimate the value of what you put out to TH-cam. Watching the two of you so in love with each other is an American Treasure.

After freeze drying for more than 2 years, I've found that proteins and dairy are real$ savers, and freeze dried ice cream is the biggest crowd pleaser. FB's The Freeze Drying Community offers a lot of experience to prevent mistakes, since some foods don't freeze dry well (like hot dogs or honey). A quick search there saves lots of headaches. I predict that you'll love your machine, especially during harvest season. Best Wishes & Merry Christmas!

Spinach is my favorite green vegetable. I use it in place of lettuce and eat it just about every day. I've been doing this for years, and I am still alive and well so I don't think it is poison.

I'm a fan and subscriber to your channel, and though we live within city limits, we have a permaculture food forest instead of a front lawn, and raise chickens and keep rabbits in back.
But I'm also a gun guy, and a Ruger firearms fan, so when you closed the episode with Jonah's Ruger 10/22 Takedown, now that's all I can remember about the episode. 😳😉
That's a handy firearm to have, Jonah. And nice of your friend to get you that BX-25 magazine. The 10-round rotary magazine would probably be sufficient for most jobs on the farm, but dealing with rats, possums, raccoons or whatever other varmints you have in NC, it's nice to have plenty of ammo on tap.

Thats an easier way of making butter than I was taught. My Mom & stepdad used to do it by hand. Things have sure changed since I was a kid. I wouldn't have minded making butter like that! It was delicious though. I miss the cream from the milk and the butter. Yummy 😋 They milked a couple cows for several years and we drank the milk, there's nothing like fresh milk and butter.

Justin - Would you, Rebecca and all of your children -PLEASE- put out a video on gun safety, storage and responsibility??
I think it would not only be beneficial to all the children/youth viewers but many adults/parents who view also need this information.
I hope all your children attend gun safety training with a certified instructor. Education and Certification are a key component part in any firearm ownership!
I’m sure it’s great fun to shoot at targets. Never across a road with rounds (ie: 25 - 😨) tho! Please think about the mixed message you put out on this video.
