Another great video ! Made me want breakfast after I just had supper :) I love my Chaga 2 or 3 times a week good stuff 👍, Awesome coop :) I'm finally done with my siding for this years, we had a little snow last week but half melted now so trying to just clean up some little things & be ready for winter :) Take care stay warm"
I've never heard of Chaga. We have 10 acres just outside Fairbanks with mostly Birch. Guess what we are doing tomorrow morning? Heading out on a chaga harvest! Thanks SO much for the info. Another great video. PS: the coffee recipe u shared with me is delish!
I have only recently found your channel. I am loving the content. I viewed all the past videos. I ferment my cabbage as well but flavor it with caraway seeds. I with I could find someone to teach me to forage locally. Have a great week. Thanks for sharing.
Caraway seeds sound delicious! You may be able to find a local foraging guide if you check out gardening groups near you. We are so happy you enjoy the channel, and hope you have a wonderful week as well!
Wire mesh was on our supply list when we hit the feed store! Unfortunately they were out. Mail ordered some, and will keep an eye on the coop until then. 🐓 thank you for watching!
I am new to this channel . Looking forward to the next video to see what Amy is cooking. Your food all looks so delicious who taught you to cook? The drone shots are beautiful. A beautiful family , stay warm and safe.
We make 250 lbs of sour kraut in a food-grade bidon. We dunk the whole cabbage heads and leave them in the garage. Turn the brine over for the first 5 days, 45 days later delicious saur kraut that lasts for the next 5 months.
Ashes can help reduce acidic soils and have nutrients like potassium, magnesium and calcium that plants need. Make sure there are no embers and the ashes are completely out and cold to the touch.
Any water, any iodized salt, works. The important thing is the proportion between water and salt and keeping it not too warm as it will start to spoil instead of ferment. People don't get the proportion right or want to ferment during the summer in too warm weather. The problem with the fancy salt that some have reduced sodium and the proportion doesn't get right.
I love watching you guys. I have never pickled anything but I am going to pickle me some cucumbers and peppers. My grandmother use to do peppers. I love a good fire, my son in law showed me how to start the fire when him and my daughter brought a house with a fireplace. Is the fire place your only source of heat? How big is the cabin?
Thank you so much 😊 Pickling is so fun! We also have an oil stove as a second heat source, but hardly use it. I believe the cabin is somewhere around 500sq ft!
Love your beautiful place. But when you were making the medicine, the video was very dark. Please be mindful that when we're watching from youtube.I have some lights on so we can see what you're doing inside.Thank you
Y’all’s channel has become one of my favorites. Very educational.
Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Happy to hear it, thank you for following along 😊
I have a couple trees with chaga I need to harvest. Thanks for the reminder.
Happy harvesting! 🍄

Hello..saya tinggal di Indonesia yg musimnya berbeda sangat menyenangkan lihat vidio ini❤
Very different seasons, happy you enjoyed the video! 😊
I live in Alabama and while walking though the woods I saw some I think looked just like that,
If it’s on a birch, it very well may have been a Chaga!
Nice video. Pie looked delicious 😊
Thank you 😊🥧
Hey from NC stay warm !

Thank you for the video! 👍👍 A bit worried for the chickens. A fox could tear through that clear film. Some steel mesh would protect the hens.

Thank you so much for the kind words! Growing up we always had a garden, canned and cooked lots at home 😊

A big food grade bin is a great idea! Will try that next year when the garden comes in. Happy fermenting!

That is wonderful to know, thank you!

Thanks for the tips! This is our favorite recipe on our homestead that works best for us. ❤️

Enjoyed your video. What made you decide to this way?
Thank you! We enjoy living directly with nature, and find the day to day tasks of a homestead, though challenging, very fulfilling. ❤️
what kind of crock did you pickle the cucumbers in? they are so nice and pretty and would like to get some to mass produce pickles like you :)
It’s an Ohio Stoneware crock! Happy fermenting 😊
Love your beautiful place. But when you were making the medicine, the video was very dark. Please be mindful that when we're watching from youtube.I have some lights on so we can see what you're doing inside.Thank you
Thank you for the input, we will make sure there is better lighting next time! 😊
What does chaga taste like
A lot of folks don’t like the taste, but we find it fine! Very woodsy and unique tasting.
Where did you get your crock?
The local hardware store! But, I believe these are from Ohio.
You guys dont do a intro this is my first time seeing your channel
Your channel seems interesting but could you please talk through what you’re doing so we would know and so it’s not just dead space? ❤
Thank you for the input! We will narrate more ❤️
You talked a lot about your cold storage or fridge. It has to be huge with al the stuff you put in there.
