I live north of you in Conneaut Lake, PA. I have tried to incorporate things you guys have done with your garden and food preparation in my daily life; I'm not the greatest at it but I keep on trying to make one or two changes each year to improve my health while making delicious food from things God has given us to use. I am trying the 3 sisters this year in hopes I can make my own tortillas and use the vegetables in soups and stews. I harvested black walnuts this year and gathered acorns to make my first acorn flour, both ideas I got from you guys. I also pre-ordered your book...I can't wait to get it! Thanks for all you do to help us all love great food from Mother Nature!
That's so great to hear! And yea, making a couple changes to improve each year is the way to go. That way you don't get overwhelmed trying to do everything perfect all at once and in a couple years, you'll be a pro :) And thank you for pre-ordering our book, we can't wait for you to read it!
Everything about this video is perfect! The music, the information, your guys vibes. It made me so happy. Vicariously living through you two right now but hope I can one day grow and sustain my own food. You’re both very inspiring. Thank you!
I'd love a tour of your new place! My hands get all cut up getting my dried corn off the cob. I bought a metal hand sheller, but also have seen a board with old fashioned nail spikes driven in at an angle with only the closely spaced grid of nail heads expose to run the dried cobs over, and I recently saw a more-than-cob-sized diameter hole cut into a plank with 4 nails driven into the hole from each of the sides that you can shove the cob into to strip off the kernels. It's so satisfying to grow, process, preserve, and cook your own food!
Yea there are some cool little jigs for removing the kernels, but we actually kind of like breaking them off by hand haha. And we’re currently living in a barn that we turned into a little cabin, but we’ll definitely show more once we start building our house later this year
incredible as always. as a student who lives in a city in snowy quebec, i am always endlessly inspired by you two. can't wait to work towards a life like yours.
So are you guys going to develop your own strain of landrace Corn for the Farm? By letting these variaties freely cross pollinate over the coming season?
Silly and unsafe are probably not words to put together 😬 I heard Jordan say "Landrace" in regards to corn. You should do a video on that idea and also your thoughts on seed saving!
Be careful around your house at 17:26 it looks like you have electricals wires exposed. sorry to sound alarming, i guess its just the electrician in me seeing something a little off.
It’s a construction site so there’s a lot of potentially alarming-looking stuff haha. Funny enough, we actually finished that wall today and the wire you’re seeing is no longer visible
Yea the water’s very clean up here in the mountains. Most of our water comes from a public spring house down the road and we have a filter, but when we’re boiling it we just use the creek water. It’s a source stream coming right off the mountain.
I think it’s pickling lime. It makes the water alkaline, which is required for nixtamalizing corn. It changes the flavor/texture but it also makes more B vitamins bio available, which is important if corn is your major source of those.
Love the content, But the piano music is ofen too loud. It can be difficult to hear what you say because it’s repetitive and drowns you out a lot. Sometimes you turn it down when you speak which is helpful. Could be just on my end but it happens in most videos. I just wanna hear you 🙃
Well we turn it down for the voiceover part because we’re usually not saying anything that interesting in the b-roll background. Those are just random convos we’re having while we do stuff

Maybe I'm just tripping but your footage is becoming increasingly pro. Absolutely beautiful...everything.❤
Haha well I’m glad it seems that way, but we filmed this whole thing on an old iPhone so very much NOT pro 😅 So happy you’re enjoying it though!
I'm a simple person. I see how to make food from something homegrown... I click😅 greetings from the Netherlands.
Haha same! 😊
I always enjoy your videos. Thank you. How is Jordan’s health? He looks well. 😊
My favorite parts of your cooking videos are the harvest flashbacks. It's so satisfying.
That’s our favorite part too 🙂
Everything about this video is perfect! The music, the information, your guys vibes. It made me so happy. Vicariously living through you two right now but hope I can one day grow and sustain my own food. You’re both very inspiring. Thank you!
As always, I enjoyed watching your amazing cooking. Thanks.
I would absolutely love a life like this...❤
Congrats on cultivating your life like you do your gardens!

We grew corn the past two years specifically to nixtamalize and make tortillas, but haven't done it yet! This makes me want to get on it already :)
You should do it! It can seem a little intimidating at first, but it’s really pretty simple and the result is worth it
incredible as always. as a student who lives in a city in snowy quebec, i am always endlessly inspired by you two. can't wait to work towards a life like yours.
Thanks! And I’m sure one day soon you’ll be making that life happen
Love your channel and the joy and hope you inject into our world 😍😍
So glad to hear that, thank you! 😊
Beautiful! I could almost smell them!!!!❤
Would love to see more homegrown handcrafts to decorate your place!
Hey can you plc make the music less loud as in to your voice proportions😊 im bid struggling to to the tism
We lowered it pretty far for the voiceover. Do you mean like when we’re just chatting in the background of the b-roll videos while we’re doing stuff?
wow, that looks amazing
Thanks!
I missed you guys ❤
I LOLed at "grainbow"
🤣
What an inspiration! I hope to grow enough corn for tortillas this year.
Nice! What type of corn are you growing?
So are you guys going to develop your own strain of landrace Corn for the Farm? By letting these variaties freely cross pollinate over the coming season?
❤❤ love this channel
So glad to hear that! 🙂
Can't wait to see a homemade cheese curd video :) Great video !
Silly and unsafe are probably not words to put together 😬

Okay we’ll make sure to film some of the landrace corn process this summer

Did you guys do water tests? The area we bought our property has high pfas contamination so any water not from an artesian well needs to be filtered
Yea the water’s very clean up here in the mountains. Most of our water comes from a public spring house down the road and we have a filter, but when we’re boiling it we just use the creek water. It’s a source stream coming right off the mountain.
@HomegrownHandgathered that's awesome! It's a resource I took for granted growing up and didn't think much about when we bought
Yay new video!
Stomping the ice. My heart. 😂
🤣🤣
YUMMMMMMMMMMMMM. Awesome!
What variety of red peppers are those?
❤
😊❤
What did you add in the beginning when first boiling the corn?
Pickling lime aka cal
I think it’s pickling lime. It makes the water alkaline, which is required for nixtamalizing corn. It changes the flavor/texture but it also makes more B vitamins bio available, which is important if corn is your major source of those.
@@HomegrownHandgathered Awesome thank you! I was just looking at 2 jars of dried corn kernels when this video popped up lol
@@KO-vb4tg Fascinating! Thanks!
bio vacuum = little moo
🤣 okay gonna add that to her list of nicknames
i’m so high rn and this is absolutely ruining me with the munchies
i ordered nachos bell grande, honestly basicially the same
🤣🤣 basically, yea
