- Big changes on our little farm; we're planting an apple orchard!! I wanted to give you a behind the scenes peak of what's happening as we close up the year and get ready for spring. I'm so excited to have different varieties of apples to bake with, eat and maybe make some fresh juice or cider with.

Let me know what I NEED to plant on the homestead next! There's a lot of work to do but I'm so excited to have my own kitchen garden with fresh veggies and herbs.

Your joy has no bounds! Your wide smiles are limitless! Your enthusiasm is epic! Dude, you discovered HOME and FAMILY! Could not have happened to a nicer person.
(P.S. make lots of chutneys)
Thank you so much!!
You are so right! 13soap13
@@PreppyKitchen I wish I could buy stuff from your garden.
If there's a farm stand, you should get a license to sell canned goods. Make canned apple pie filling and apple butter to sell alongside your freshly-baked pies. Encourage pre-orders for the holidays!
One person gets sick and they lose the farm.
These farm/kitchen updates are some of my favorites lately c:
You know what John? I know I'd really like having you and your family as neighbors! Thanks for the update, and I cannot wait to see your new kitchen!!!
Thank you Amelia! I CAN'T wait to show you!!!!
John: It's so cold! *32 degrees F*
Me, a New Yorker: So much to learn... wait until January...
LOL, it was SO cold and windy that day. Also I used to live in NY and this was cold 😂
@@PreppyKitchen Felt colder because of the wind. Your body became acclimated to California warmth and hasn't readjusted itself yet. Takes time. You are going to need a warmer coat!
Those are freezing temperatures - objectively cold!
I live in Wisconsin, I’m to the point that I think 32 feels nice🤣🤣🤣
Haaaa... I'm in Michigan... Lets talk cold
Oh my gosh! You look so incredibly happy! You're doing exactly what you guys need to do that's wonderful to see you so happy. I can't wait till the fruit trees begin to bloom and have apples for you guys. It's going to be good for the boys and good for your overall health. Have a great week! Hugs xxx willow-sage
DAMMIT, I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU 🤗😃❤️.... you are such an unbelievably sweet person, that...I'm just ...more and more amazed with every single video😃 by your joy!! and then of course by all that glorious life you two are making there for yourselves 🤗❤️ truly..., your sweet joy is contagious 🤗❤️
(I would DEFINITELY be a regular customer if I lived there somewhere...around 😃)
Loved this so much! How exciting John!
my sweetest of memories is eating apples off the tree.. The taste of a fresh crisp apple is my happy place. I wish i had one right now, ive been in florida for decades now...if i had a genie in a bottle i would wish for an apple off its tree
Don't forget to dry and preserve some of your crop! That way you'll have appley goodness the year round!
Did you mention apple fritters? And of course apple juice!
All the best from Sweden!
We live among many apple farms and we pick bushels of them each fall. My family’s all time favorite apple treat is apple butter. We always save one warm jar out to eat on home made buttermilk biscuits while the rest are processing.
My kids are all grown but will come spend an entire weekend with me picking and putting up apples.
In addition to apple butter we make apple sauce, apple juice, dehydrated apple rings (my grand babies’ favorite), apple cider vinegar and apple skin powder (which we use for making our own instant oatmeal jars throughout the year)
We’ve had Apple Weekend since the kids were little and now we get to enjoy it with a new generation. Speaking of which my daughter introduced us to Apple Cider Caramels (It’s on the KAF website) LOVE THEM!!!
This is so exciting! You could make apple butter with all those apples! The process requires a lot of fresh apples for a surprisingly small yield but it’s so delicious, trendy and can be region specific for an orchard like yours, at least from a marketing standpoint
Your videos make me so happy, John! Love following your journey and watching your farm come to life!
Thanks so much for watching!
Great work! Altruistic, environmentally proactive and a real treat for your community-Orchard and farm stand!👍🏾😎 One more notch in your GREATNESS!😊 (Husband included)!!
Congratulations on planting your apple trees and being a part of the farm community! Wishing you a Merry Christmas!!
Thank you Linda! Merry Christmas!
How exciting! An apple orchard and secret ponies. :)
All of your ideas are great. I’m loving everything. Too bad I’m all the way in Florida.
But...if you find yourself drowning in way too many apples you can always donate some to a shelter or a soup kitchen or drive around and give them to homeless people. They will be thrilled and so thankful!
Congratulations on your orchard!! Yay!
Having your own apple orchard is such a pleasure. I truly miss mine but great memories. I would have deer come and taking the lower ones but a real treat to watch nature. I had loved fresh brown apple Betty and coffee. I hope it grows well.
I wish you and your little family well in your new endeavours. May you be blessed with many sunshine-filled days to sell your beautiful wares
What a bless boy, wo fearful person it is nice to share with us your wonderful knowledge and your property.
That is awesome!! Can't wait until you bake with your own grown apples!!!!
Would love to see some drinks/ cocktails ! Also you are such an inspiration for joy and happiness. Your channel shares so much of it. Thank you for creating and sharing with us
I’ll definitely visit and buy some cider/fresh fruit! You look so happy here, glad you’re having a great time :)
How did I miss all these wonderful videos on your home updates ?? I’m totally loving them 🥰
All of this looks unbelievably amazing!😄😍😋 I love farmlands and green hills. I grew up surrounded by green in Europe, but now here in South America in a big city with over a decade of drought, I live every time we leave the city and there's a bit more green. I had a little apple tree myself for my birth back in Germany, but now it barely grows apples anymore. I hope it's still there though. Having an entire orchard sounds like a dreeaam. If tickets didn't cost so much, I'd drop by for a hello, but that will have to wait a few years. I rarely do things with apples, I'm more specialized in cookies and cakes, but apple strudel, apple pie, homemade apple sauce/juice, baked apples come to mind. French apple tart too, it's a delish. Wishing you all the luck in the world with your new surroundings.💗💗💗
I make apple sauce. It takes no time at all. Just slice up peeled apples, place in a saute pan with a little water and a squeeze of lemon. Cook down, and mush with a fork. You can add sugar and/or cinnamon if you like. I eat it warm, but room temp or cold is fine as well. It's so GOOD!!
You make me happy John. I love that you have allowed us to become a kind of extended family to you. Cannot WAIT to come see your shoppe! You HAVE to come to the Finger Lakes here in western NY and have a look at OUR vineyards and the FAMOUS New York State Wines and the Finger Lakes Wine Trail!!
With that I'd like to wish you and your family a most Amazing and Wonderful Christmas and a most Joyous New Year!
💖❄🎄🎅🤶🎄❄💖
Oh, Cortland!!! There is no better Apple for baking. My grandmother her whole life used nothing but!
Once you get the taste of growing your own apples , you'll want to grow all kinds of produce , it's addictive !
I make a German apple cider. Take your cinnamon, cloves, and allspice, put them in a cheese cloth bag tied with food grade string. Then you wash and slice an orange or two and float them in the cinder. I like using an orange with either a lemon or lime. I heat it on low in the crockpot for 2 hours before taking out the spices and fruit. You can eat the fruit after they cool down a little bit. 💚💚💚💚
Congrats on your new apple orchard! Honey crisp apples - the best. Yummmmm
Cover the apple in light Carmel and dip in red sugar. Next put a hole in the side and stick an open bottle of apple crown royal to let it soak in. Wrap the whole thing up, place a bow and you have party favors for the holidays. I saw this on a website and it looked good.
So excited for your orchard! Also so excited for your horse surprise lol 💚💚💚💚💚
Yes! The "spitters" are perfect for hard apple cider!
No such thing as to many apples or apple recipes, more apple stuff, mmmm cider, love it. One step farther up the apple ladder to the top, BOILED CIDER, you've got to try it. So easy you won't believe it, makes every apple recipe better, and so easy to make and store. Keep them videos coming, HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU AND YOURS !
Your happiness is contagious! I’m smiling ear to ear after watching this! I can’t wait to see the new kitchen! Ps - how about an apple coffee cake?
Have you thought about honey bees 🐝? Your apple trees would benefit greatly! As a beekeeper I'm watching your farm videos and get jealous about all the space you have. And now with the fruit trees, bees would love it. In addition you could sell the honey 🍯 at your farm stand. Win win. Good luck with everything!
Your farm and house are beautiful. If you make cider I would love a video on that process. Also a video of your farm stand when it’s in full would would be amazing.
Wow am so happy for you and excited to go along with you on this journey. How is your husband, mom and boys enjoying it out there.
Ok how come it took me so long to discover your farm videos???? Oh my gosh! What fun! Love seeing your farm and watch it grow!!
Congratulations on your new apple orchard. Just wish there was a farm stand next door to me. I live in the city (San Francisco) and we have a farmer's market near me on Sundays but it's still not as fresh as a farmers market near the actual farm. I remember shopping at a farmer's market on the way to Healdsburg and the way home. (We went there every weekend and for two months during the summer). The fruit was spectacular. People today who only shop in the grocery store have no idea what the true taste of vegetables and fruits are. Corn so fresh you barely cook it, peaches with juice running down your arm, and on and on. Best of luck with your new farm. You seem so enthusiastic and happy! 🍎🍏🍎🍏
Pickled crab apples or small sour apples are ideal for canning and can be used many different ways including as a dessert with heavy cream. Recipes typically include ground cloves, sugar and cinnamon. When I was young, decades ago most farms in colder climates all canned sour apples for special occasions such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was just something everybody did. We always called them, Pickled Crabapples and they were a staple. There are still some good recipes online.
How exciting! It’s like Green Acres! ☺️
You have a beautiful smile! Cool property. Interesting hearing about the apples. Cute horses... I’ve been making homemade apple sauce lately. Fun to watch your adventures
I think your "cider tree" will be perfect for making apple gelee. This is a preserve you can use for cakes but also for meat, duck, lamb..........Looking forward to see your orchard in the spring and perhaps even during harvest- Good luck to you.
Hi John....i've decided, you're the happiest most joyous person i know. You always make me smile. Loving the new apple orchard, can't wait to see your new kitchen
Both your farm journey videos are too good to be missed. They are the ones which provoke the happy smiles being spread all around. Wish you loads and loads of good health and cheer. Keep spreading the joyous smiles. All the best!🍻
You can "Can" the apples to have on hand for all of your goodies that you bake. I grew up in Idaho and was lucky enough one year "in my youth" to pick apples on an orchard in Washington State. You are going to have lots of fun with all those apples, so I would think that by canning them you could also sell them at your little market. I wish i lived close enough to you so that I could come and visit.....maybe I'll put that on my "bucket list"! I love watching all of your video's and I look forward to seeing what you plan to do with "all those apples"!
Your home updates makes me smile the whole video, plz do a new tour
Omg how cool! A mini apple orchard! 🍎
Sour Apple Martinis
Apple cake
Apple cobbler
Apple pancakes
I just love watching you. You have such a positive, joyful spirit. Can't wait to see what you make next, and can't wait to see your new kitchen. :) Your boys are going to have a blast running around out there and helping with the farm chores (when they get a bit older). I don't eat sugar, so I try to adapt some of your recipes with sugar alternatives.
You definitely seeded my interest, your channel is really growing! 😉
They will continue to blossom as they branch out...or am I barking up the wrong tree?
So excited for you!!!! Can't wait to see the new kitchen!!!
Cranberry and apple Relish. It is amazing and how you can get me as a grown woman to eat cranberries. 1 part apple, to one part cranberry, and up to one part sugar. Pulse fruit in a food processor until they look like (sweet pickle) relish, let it sit at least overnight so flavors can meld and Viola... amazing tart and sweet side dish. Also freezes.
My toddler and I love watching your videos before bed. He specifically asks for your channel and we both enjoy watching all of your recipes! Thank you for sharing your cheerful smile, uplifting spirit, and talents with the rest of us! Btw- love the farm/remodel updates!!
Apples….look for a horse stable!! Donate to them! (Or sale)…. I would donate!😉 Apple crisp are sooo delicious! Have fun!! Farmers are the BEST people!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have been wishing for so long to live in a place like this. Peaceful and comfortable. 😌
How exciting!! Your doing an awesome thing John. I cant wait to see all the ways you'll use your fresh farm to table bounty of fruits & veggies. Congratulations
How wonderful! I can’t think of anything more worthwhile to do with property, it will be so special for your family and generations to come!
Absolutely love those farm videos, so inspiring and making me want to 1st own a property and 2nd grow so many fruit trees! And I thought I was a city mouse... 🤔
What a dream to live on a farm, bake an apple pie, and sell produce at a farm stand. Love it for you ❣
Yay congrats!!!
Put apples in everything lol ... I used them in my tacos once... It was good
Can't wait to meet the horses 😍
congratulations!!!!! too happy for you & your family!!
Apple sauce, fruit leather for the kids, cider, apple cider vinegar, pies, crisps, fritters, cakes, baked apples plain and in a pastry, apple butter, canned pie filling, apple rhubarb crisp/pie (you need to grow some rhubarb), apple pancakes, chutney, add them to mincemeat and sooo much more. Decorate with apples: dry and string round apple slices for Christmas decorations, in spring when budding cut some branches and put into a vase.
So hungry after reading this.
One of my joys of 2019 is stumbling across the Preppy Kitchen!- looking forward to what's upcoming
I love your channel! I think your farming plans are sound, and really hold true to what it means to really live to the fullest! I wish you all the luck with your farming adventures, and new home/kitchen. Please continue your vlogs and continue making the rest of us smile!💛
So happy for you John! That's so exciting!!
New apple trees,and new horses so much excitement there!!
That's amazing!! Congrats! Lots of apple pies, Apple cake, Apple fritters, yummy!
I must go on a loooooong road trip to my not-so-local neighbourhood farm stand!! How exciting this all must be for you. You are inspiring, John! 🤗
Congratulations! Fresh apples are delicious!
Apple cider is great. Also use some peels and make your own cider vinegar, which is extremely easy to make.
Also think about fermenting. Hard cider and apple wine is so good.
So happy for you! Cant wait for more videos like this! They are so educational and entertaining.
I’m so excited for you!! Can’t wait to see the first harvest!!
Thank you for sharing! Love these kind of videos too! Cheers to delicious apples! 🥂
How wonderful! This makes my heart so happy to see you so happy! I'm very excited for your future plans and videos. I'd love to see more how-to's on your farming ventures. And it looks like you've moved into a really nice community too! Happy Holidays to you all!
Such exciting news! I wish you the best with all your endeavors Jon. And who would not want to meet you. 😁
Looking great your way,so happy for you all.
Congrats on your new life style as Farmer John. Looking forward to seeing those trees come spring.
Incredible. I feel so blessed to get to watch you.
Congratulations.
We love you
Welcome to the neighborhood!! I just love watching your videos!
Thank you for sharing your journey with the new house 🏡
Love all your videos
Now I have to put "visit Conneticut" on my bucket list!
Goodness John, what an adventure. Living The "Good life", watching your videos sice your move to the countryside reminds me of the 1970s series, with glamour and sparkle mixed in to it, with heart of gold and so much humour, magical combination. 😊👍💟🍎🍏❄⛄
Thank you for making me smile... Grew up on a fruit farm (no pun intended) in upstate NY . Apples, cherries, peaches. Miss it. all the best John.
I'm so excited for you guys.
MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅
Congratulations on the new farm
TeamTrees would be proud of you
Im so happy for you and your family. Your boys are going to have a great life on your farm. I myself love living in the country. Would never choose city life.
Hi John, unbelievable. I don‘t know if there are differences in apples between the US and Germany but I know important information : If you get freezy nights during blossom period the farmers here sprinkle the blossoms with water to freeze them. The blossom freezes and will continue to bloom instead of dying. I can imagine this climate could happen there too. wishing you big luck with your first apple havest season 🇩🇪Regards Stefanie
Secret mini ponies are soo cute 😍
Awww mini's❤
I was kinda sad when you said in a previous video that you weren't horse people. Ive has or been involved with horses since I was a little girl. A beautiful farm like yours needed a few beautiful horses. Once you get the horse bug you'll always have it. And horses are like tattoos you'll always want to add more. Lol
I dont have any tattoos but Ive seen and heard.
Everything on your farm is perfect but it had to have been a big culture shock coming from sunny Cali to 4 season New England. I love the 4 season's here in Wisconsin.
I am so happy for you guys! A "U-Pick" day might be fun for your community. I can see so many fun days ahead for you and your lovely family! 🍎
I don't know why, but I am so happy for you and your family. What a beautiful place! Merry Christmas!
I'm so excited for you guys. What an adventure. When Im next in the Northeast I'll be stopping by your farm stand. I love farm stands anyway, and its being yours is just icing on the apple. Have you been taking winter driving lessons? You should. Driving in snow and on ice requires some practice. This is the voice of experience. I grew up in NYC, but didn't drive till i moved to Rochester. Surprise weather fun.
I absolutely love these videos! I am so happy for you and your family. We have a half acre so I have a garden, fruit trees, some chickens, and a dog. I am jealous of the mini ponies and baby goats ❤️.
We have so much goals and desires in common. I love seeing your progress ❤️!! You need a greenhouse & new barn. If nothing else.. . somewhere to sit in the sun with the kids. I'd love to see a savory dish with apples, also a breakfast dish with a tart apple. Dehydrate apple chips for snaking. Look into a natural essential oil for disease & pests for summer spraying. I'm sure looking forward to how the orchard progresses & your bountiful harvest. 🍎
If you don't know how to already, I'd get to learning how to can. Apple butter, sauce,pie filling. You get the idea. Love your life
Apple butter like we do here in Missouri. 🍎🍎🍎🍎
