You guys have no idea how much joy you bring to me on a daily basis!… I totally locked onto your TH-cam program several months ago and have devoured them! Every single day I spend some time with you guys and everything you do absolutely fascinates me!… I love the chemistry you have together I love you each individually and even your dogs and more importantly I am absolutely astounded at the results of your Teamwork and boundless energy! Thank you for such a wonderful vicarious life!
Michael Berg thank you ☺
I feel the same way. Their life is so interesting.
I wish someone will pay for them to go around to Colleges and speak of their Lifestyle !! amazing couple. Organic, Environmentally conscious, Debt free, living off of the land.
@@debbiee7850 Amen for sure!
👍👍👍
I enjoy watching you two with your canning and food prep. You don't waste a lot of time yapping like some people do - you get right to it.
I agree with this 110%!!
@@wolffortenberry8729 If you want to hear some yapping, go on THE 'CHEF AJ' channel; she does a lot of yapping but has some really good recipes & ideas.
That said, this video is still too long. I don't care to see all the gory details, just the pertinent facts. Seriously... who has the time?
@@cxoot in a world where I am constantly being rushed, I personally enjoy taking a minute to sit back and relax and enjoy their videos. I think it’s a perfect length video. The quiet and peaceful sounds of the outdoors without all the sound pollution is lovely to hear, even if it’s from my phone or TV.
I like to dry the celery leaves and some stalks and then grind into a power to use as a flavouring and to make a celery salt. You should give it a try.
I do the same thing. Wonder blast of flavor.
I have done this too. No more buying celery seed for seasoning -- I use this instead.
I think she said it's pulls to much power to do that.
That's what I do Alex. it makes the best celery salt. When I get the fresh leaves I also make a lovely pot of soup as well as several stews and casseroles (which to us Aussies is basically stew but done in the oven, stew is done on the stove top). The flavour of the leaves is intense. Michelle
@@delphine88313 you can hang the leaves like any herb and let them dry over time.
I have become 20% more healthier watching this video. I love picking out vegetables from my tiny garden.
Absolutely love how we’re getting more and more of your authentic, relaxed conversations and interactions as time goes on! Makes your videos that much more personal to watch!
I love y'all's channel. I prefer how you introduce your goal, tell what you will do, how to go about it, get 'er done and show finished "product". Many channels aimlessly wander or spring from one thing to another and show no real accomplishment. That's their prerogative, but I often find them tedious and skip through or not finish. Congratulation of a quality channel that is a good teaching tool for others who wish to live sustainably and try to lightly touch the earth. Keep on keeping on. Joy Giles
My mom always used the celery leaves in her home made spaghetti sauce, never wasting anything. I do the same, loving the flavor of the celery in the sauce. Beautiful stock! It’ll make wonderful recipes!
Its nice to see someone else who likes celery in their sauce. It just brings a bit of yum to the sauce .
The leaves are the best part of the celery plant, they infuse such a delicate flavour, my Nonna would make the most amazing tomato salad using the celery leaves and the heart of the plant, so yummy
I know there are a ton of nutrients in those celery leaves. I would use them for a layer in that permaculture and to feed the chickens since the storage space in limited and winter is already hitting Alaska.
Was going to say the same thing, also good in soups etc
I like celery too but the leaves can make it bitter
I have never seen a more beautiful batch of celery ever!! Your entire garden this year was absolutely beautiful. Every carrot, leaks parsnips, everything just says "life." Love all of your canning and meal preps. I enjoy all of your videos. God bless.
You two are like the olympians of off grid, pioneers! I watch a lot of gardening shows, but yours is truly hard work and perseverance for the end result. Totally amazed and look forward always to the next bonanza!! Job well done!
I must be kind of fun and also very satisfying, being warm and cozy in your cabin on a cold winter day, surrounded by all that good food you have put away. A warm cup of soup on a cold dark day, has to be satisfying. Thanks for sharing the experience.
Just wanna say, Everywoman needs an Eric!
Over the past 3 weeks, we have binged your videos from the day you left Oregon until today. Your energy is rejuvenating. Our plans for 2021 have doubled. (zone 3b Wisconsin)
My husband and I live in southwest CO just 20 miles from AZ. in the San Juan Mountain Range at 7,650 feet.... we love watching your channel... we just discovered it a 4 months ago and we enjoyed so much of what you are sharing we went back to the very beginning of your videos. We are preparing to move back to the midwest, Nebraska and are looking forward to having a garden again .... as we live in the High desert here and without a grow dome not much does well here. You are so impressive with all you cooking, gardening, building etc. Thank you for sharing your life with us all!
You 2 are definitely set for winter! That must feel so good :-)
I check everyday for new videos. Thank you for your channel and letting us all into your lives. It so nice to see a young couple work together, work hard and not a cross word between you. At least not that we see. Again, thank you.
Have you subscribed? It's totally free, just a way for TH-cam to let us keep up with our favorite channels. Also, when you click on the bell, make sure you set it to "All". Then, you'll get a red bell at the top of the page (notification) to let you know there's a video to watch.
I just can’t help but wonder, who gives these videos a thumbs down?! I love what you both share with us and wish for more! It’s so informative and unique!
People that are upset that they didnt use the whole celery leaf!
Those celery leaves are free fertilizer so no waste there people
I think its envy. I know I'm envious but not jealous, well maybe just a little. I'm so grateful they share with us and I can forget all the negativity for a short period. I stretch it my rewatching it a couple of times.
@@dinahquillen9380 Same!!! If they post early in the day I wait until the evening to watch to help me calm down from the days craziness!
@@CommonGroundGardens YES!! Fertilizer and/or chicken treats :) I've never seen them waste a single thing...they never cease to amaze me
The feeling of planting something and then harvesting it is exhilarating.
Watching you guys is my latest fad. I have never lived like you but I've always wanted to.
Can you please do a pressure canning 101 video? Like how you started with canning, tips and tricks, issues you encountered over the years. Would def help this canning newbie whos also a nervous wreck 😅
I second this! I’m very new at canning ironically since following SLA, I’d love to know more.
Guildbrook Farm actually has a very good Canning 101 video from a couple of years ago. It really helped me take the plunge.
Check out Rebel canners on FB. Lots of teachers over there!!!
Having to live vicariously through you since we weren't able to get our garden going this year. Nice job guys.
Whenever I watch your videos I always think the dogs are filming you 😂 since youve got different angles of what you guys are working on. Ik it can be time consuming. Appreciate filming it all for us!! Thanks❤️
What a blessed life. It’s a lot of work growing, preserving, cooking but I realize it’s better than working in a cubicle and eating fast food.
Keep cooking at the end of these!! I love it!!😊
yes dry the leaves.. makes such a good additive to anything.
I agree. Dried celery leaves make a great spice, especially for meats and soups.
I love the crunchy chop sound.
Right? ASMR without even trying :)
@@amyhendricks3627 I personally don't even like asmr but this sound I could listen to for hours...
@@M1NDCR4WL3R there is definitely something very satisfying to it!
Be careful your jars have leaks in them!!
har hardy har har
Leeks, or Leaks? 😊😊😁😁
@@peacefulwife5199 both!😂
You guys are the best! 💛 Celery leaves are great in stocks and soups, I love when I see others use them 💛
What a great team y'all are! Young, beautiful, and so smart! It's most fun for me to see the incredible meals y'all dish up! Oh yeah, you're both gourmet chefs! Take care, and be safe!
I feel so much cooler just watching your videos as you head into winter, 30dC here in southern Tasmania, and humid YUK! As always I admire you from afar, and how you really provide for yourselves. The hard work you both do for your life is shown and demonstrates to those who inspire to do as you have How much effort time and enthusiasm (constantly) to get up and do what has to be done. Thank You both.
You got me hooked on making celery stock this season when I saw your video from last year, thank you! Always had more than I could use "fresh" and gave away alot. Now, it's a different story and will plant even more next spring. I threw in some of my extra leek as well and froze the stock. It's awesome.
BS"D
You are such a special couple in many ways and wanted to thank you so much for sharing with us your beautiful life together
When you were draining the celery for stock over wire it reminded me of Immokalee Salad. During the Harvest Festival in Immokalee, Florida, plywood and 2x4’s are nailed together and placed over sawhorses. Ice is placed over the plywood and then harvested veggies are cut into chunks over the ice. Some of the best tasting tomatoes and cucumbers are grown in that area of Florida. Fave this video is the Potato leek soup and if course a stroll down memory lane.
You guys have a great system worked out. My wife lived in Alaska for a long time, and I can’t wait to check it out!!!
I love watching you process food outside. Makes so much more sense.
Love watching you guys....lived in Alaska for 6 years....had the wrong partner...you guys really work well together...love the trips and the every day stuff... My favorite are the fishing trips....Your garden is wonderful...Good for you guys.....i live in CA now and I put thick rubber bands around my canning jars to help stop breakage during earthquakes, They act as bumpers. During the shaking. I've had no breakage....you might want to try that there....God bless you both!
These are some of my most favorite videos you do!! The practicality of things is what I love. All your videos explaining practical skills and recipes are very straight forward without the unnecessary babble that so many other creators include. Thank you for such quality content and taking the time to share your knowledge and make these videos!! 💜
Oh dear, I laughed way too hard at 'nachos' 😂😂
Thank You From my heart, you both continue to amaze me! So grateful for wholesome content! OMG. Love the soup! Blessings from northern VT.
Gosh, another great video! You guys work so hard. Whenever I see celery I am reminded of my mother who always put celery leaves in the oven - the oven had a pilot light and the heat from it worked as a dehydrator. You always had to check the oven for random celery leaves before you did any baking!
Your videos are a joy to the senses - the crunch of the celery, the vibrant colors of the vegetables; I could almost smell the dirt in the garden and feel the icy coldness of the well water.
Thanks for sharing your journey.
Your channel always brings out the wanderlust in my heart, and brings some peace to this current crazy, chaotic world.
Peace from Michigan ☮️
You guys are amazing. I love watching you come up with everyday recipes with fresh ingredients!
It would be cool to see a day in the life headed to town. Do you guys eat out while there? Take us along where you buy most of your food supplies like olive oil, flour, salt etc. Keep being awesome!🙂
The two of you work so hard for the food you eat.
Dried Celery leaves are a great seasoning in soups and stews. We even use them as a salad green.
They wasted all ....🙄
SEDDY KHAN we do not consider it wasteful, our garden soil is living and it needs to be amended, hence why we leave roots and give back the parts of the plants we do not consume. Sometimes it is preference, many times we feed our chickens with our produce and sometimes it is just because of the sheer volume of produce we generate. It was the soil, nature, and organisms that are responsible for the produce and why we feel the least we could do is return some of the nutrients.
@@SimpleLivingAlaska I was wondering why toss leaves, but makes sense.
You two are amazing! I love your videos. Simple life, hard work, enjoying nature. I need to do more meal in a jar type canning like this.
Your garden was the most beautiful garden, so choked full of so much! I’m envious of your gardening abilities! Very impressed with all your work!
Teamwork makes the dream work!
Leftand210 Perfect!
My goodness. What an abundance of celery. Love to eat all of the celery from top/bottom. How rich in vegetables you two are.
Love the explanation of how you’ll be using the soup and all the extras of what else you can do w said soup! Love me some garden and cooking videos! Keep ‘em coming!! (And loved the ASMR of the crackling fire place in the back ground!!)
You guys are so efficient, and you have so much energy to make a nice dinner after that much canning effort! You're a good team and a pleasure to watch.
Di you keep the celery leaves, I buy celery with lots of leaves and use that in my soup as well. You would have a mother load of celery leaves once dried.
You beat me to the punch...this is my first year gardening. The celery was a success I will dehydrate the leaves.
You guys are livin’ the dream!♥️👍🙏🇺🇸🤓
The leaves have the best flavor! Yummm.
I am not a fan of parsley, but I like to use celelry leaves as a replacement.
I threw my celery leaves in a cotton pillowcase and hung it in my basement to dry. Smells so good. I am putting them into jars now. I saw this somewhere to dry flowers and leaves so wanted to try it. It worked!
I’m in love with y’alls pups and your property is absolutely gorgeous, sending love from a Texan who is dreaming of snow❄️🤣❤️
An over full freezer, crammed pantry shelves... life is good this winter. Nice work you two.
Watching these videos are incredibly soothing and help my anxiety so thank you.
Finally got a few spare mins to watch the whole vid , love the work you 2 both get done in your garden ..
Hi from Australia. Beautiful harvest..well done! To remove the dirt from leeks...cut down the middle from green to white, leaving the end intact.
Rinse under running water with the stalk up, so the dirt runs out or wash in water using fingers to remove dirt.
I love your blue pilgrim design Pyrex bowls! It's my favorite design. I'm a homesteader at heart and live vicariously through y'all! ☮️ Peace and love 💜 from Kimberly in South Dakota 💙❤️
Pyrex calls it "Butterprint" and it's my favorite, too!
Eric's shirt when he's cooking! 😂😂😂
So clever!
Dang look at all those leaves and celery!! Yes I'd use it all!! The leaves are awesome in beef stews and soups!!
Those celery keaves can be dehydrated and thrown in a mixed greens blend. Highly nutritious and beneficial. Love watching you. Calming
I've never tried canning soups and stock. I think it's a great idea when you have a surplus of veggies that won't store for long.
Your garden grows so well up there, those carrots were huge. That was some good looking soup and stock, outstanding!
I have to say that you 2 impress me when I was a kid. We grew up in the sticks ! We hunted we fished and had a big garden . Whit 14 kids that was our life and never did we go hungry ! We milked our cows had fresh milk every day life was a venture . With 7 boys plus my father hunting we would take at least 20 deer in a season . canning was a family thing everyone pitched in . I'm glade to see someone out there like to live like this keep up the good work stay safe and God Bless.
Also I can't wait to have my own little backyard farm, I think soup, sauces and broths will be the main way I preserve my food. Especially since soup is great for wintertime.
Will you be doing another “only eat what you grow” challenge this year? I’d like to see it!!
Wow the hard work you put into your garden really pays off for you. Incredible garden.
I'll say one thing for you guys... you eat pretty well. Very natural.
the leaves have so much vitamins in them. I use them all the time. UNLESS they have bug eating off them or they are yellow then I give to our Chickens. Oh they all look so yummy! Great job!
I like the way you process foods because it's really hygienic.
If you've never done it you don't get the "magic" of "putting food by". Canning is simple but it is an art. It is a very happy and satisfying activity. When I lived in the early 70's in Colorado at 7K feet I had a huge larder with veggies and fruits from my garden and from farms east and west of where I lived. I did not have a pressure canner but I had a sad sorry electric stove. It was 2 AM + before my jars were out, still bubbling and cooling down. Happy times.
Arielle is such a natural beauty! You are a lucky man Eric. Arielle is blessed to!
Your garden has done amazing this year, and with the moose, you guys are blitzing it
Remember it was Ariell's moose, couldn't resist.😏
The celery leaves are super flavorful. I dry them to use as an herb in cooking.
Mmmm mmm! A good day's work. Don't you just love getting the last of the goodies out of the garden just in time?! Super inspiring to see how much food you put up for yourselves this time and how committed you are to growing and eating your own food 99% of the time. It's obvious you've chosen the right lifestyle for you as you make it look so easy because of the joy of it! Every time I see something you've cooked up from scratch I end up cooking a lot more from scratch too...and my husband LOVES it! (As do I. : - D ) Thanks for the inspiration.
This is so awesome. Right from the garden to the table!! Thank you for sharing your lifestyle with us!! 😊
You are busy preparing winter food~
Thanks for the helpful video!
Be healthy^^
Everything sounded so fresh and crisp when you were harvesting and washing and chopping, makes me want some celery inspired dish now ☺️ Thank you for another great video! Very educational 💕💕💕👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That potato leek soup is something i want to try!!!!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos. So inspiring. This is just what my brain needed to unwind! Much love, thanks for doing all that you do!
Having started on your earlier videos I was looking forward to seeing what variations if any you decided to pursue after you ate only food you both had grown and stored. Your passion for healthy good food and flavors but also creativity is really enjoyable to watch and I live vicariously through your amazing produce and pantry! All of that celery! I never understood why it was not a more popular aromatic vegetable as it is one of my favorites. I hope things are paying off for you as I really enjoy the time and energy you invest in sharing your lifestyle and passion for good living given the sea of shallow garbage content that abounds. All the best.
That looked so good. I don't have a pressure cooker, and I miss out on so many things. What I can't water bath I freeze what I can. Some things don't work well for freezing though. I do the best I can though. Never tried cow boy candy though. May be next year! The one thing I canned that I should have done more of is salsa! Keep up the good work. Stay warm this winter.
Hi SalLee, I hope you see this. There is a channel called "Make it Make," where she interviews American Amish community members. They waterbath everything - meat, vegetables, etc. Even low-acid veg like green beans, they waterbath. Most things are about 3-4 hours and a good glug of vinegar to add acid. Another channel called RoseRed Homestead also goes over WBing everything. It is possible, and I hope this encourages you to try things you're missing. I don't mean to take away from this excellent channel, but to share information. Have a great day.
We liked the canning of veggies to see the different Avenues and what happens..great job. Thanks for the videos..
The aroma from chopping those veggies must be heavenly. And your hand have to be freezing.
I am always so happy when I get the notification that there's a new video! I love potato and leek soup...keep up the good work
cant believe you throw all those lovely leaves away ,Best bit
All those jars on the shelf is a most satisfying sight. Thanks for the video. God Bless, stay safe.
Just a tip/trick for cleaning Leeks. Leave the root crown on and stick your knife through just above the crown and cut it lengthwise in half. Turn it a quarter turn and repeat. You should have a leek cut into four quarters that you can soak and clean all the dirt out that hides in the leaves. When you are done cleaning it just cut it into desired length and toss the root crown.
Ur garden is amazing and beautiful u two are awesome 💕god bless with all the hard work
You can dry the celery leaves they make a great herb and flavored powder. Celery is super healthy for you. Great stock. I dry leaves and other things sometimes in the car on the dash its cheap and really works. I use window screens and leave them in the car for a day or two. Eco-friendly. Maybe not I saw snow the next day.Lo! Soup is the best food ever.
You've inspired me to try growing leeks....again. I bought the large American leeks. I've made potato leek soup before. I bought the leeks from my local farmer's market.
A full pantry and full freezer, sounds like you are ready for winter. Great wishes too!!
Simple Living Alaska Cookbook would be a great thing to have 🤗
Wow everything looks so good! One jar per meal, you guys are so amazing together. I love all your videos
What a FANTASTIC video!! You have been so inspirational!! We live on a third acre in Massachusetts and use many of your techniques to preserve our harvest. Our vegetable, fruit and herb harvest this year was 1,937 pounds and counting. Does anyone else weigh their harvests?
Nancy Hickman thank you! 😃 We do not typically weigh our harvests.
Man what a bunch of good-looking vegetables I love parsnips stay warm I know you won't be hungry🐝
I use the celery leaves in a green salad and also salad off celery, apple and onion with a creamy sweet dressing. so delish
I think the best part of celery is the leaves!!!!!!! Love that intense flavor for soups and whatever!!!!
I am amazed every time I see this MAN canning and cooking like a PRO.
I could almost be jealous but instead, I just enjoy it.
Ariel, you are so blessed!!
You two are great to watch regarding inspiration for canning !
Great job guys!! Love to see those great meals you make😋 I’m growing leeks for the first time this year. Here in SoCal I’m hoping to still get a harvest this year🤷♀️
These are two different really tasty soups. We harvest, among other things the celery leaves, dry them or freeze them and then use them in the cold season to give many dishes a really good taste, this is not a lot of work but is definitely worth it💫☘️
