- Sometimes I make the 2 hour trip to shop at the nearest Amish stores but the more kids I have, the harder that has gotten! For the past 2 years I’ve been able to shop like the Amish with Azure Standard Grocery Delivery Co-op. Check the Azure website to see if you have a drop location near you, and if you don’t - you can start one! Azure drops are the perfect place to meet like minds - it’s only a certain kind of person who wants to buy 25 lb bags of ancient whole grain and huge boxes of A2A2 milk lol!

Your comment about not wanting your daughter to learn how to be a homemaker and a mother at the same time; my head could’ve fallen off I was nodding “yes” so hard! My oldest is 8 and I vividly remember realizing I had no clue what I was doing. I would wander the grocery store with no clue what to buy, my house was constantly a mess,….I stumbled into the large family/homeschool mom TH-camrs and I joke that they taught me how to be a mother and a homemaker. I’m definitely hoping I can raise my girls so that the jump into homemaking and motherhood won’t feel like drinking from a fire hydrant.
I was right there with you when I became a wife and mama. Still feel like I don’t know how to function some days but practice and guidance like these videos helps SO much 🩷
I’m there right now and I’m so happy other moms have had that experience. It makes me feel not so alone. I’ve currently only got the one daughter and she’s 2 and we’re pregnant with our second baby right now due in December and I feel like I’m diving into the deep end of the pool or more like the ocean because I was never taught how to be a homemaker or a SAHM. Finding channels like this have been my saving grace on teaching me all of the things I need to know on keeping a home and raising my daughter in a feminine and Godly fashion.
Absolutely! I had to learn both alongside each other! My daughter is 12 now but she cooks dinner for us sometimes, she knows how to make things from scratch, so important!!
Grocery haul from Azure and Conspiracy Therories❤I'm here for it😂
THANK YOU for teaching your daughter homemaking now instead of her being thrown into it when she moves out on her own as a single lady or a married lady. We taught our 3 children (2 girls and 1 boy) not just homemaking, but meal planning, bulk cooking, a working and long term pantry, budgeting to be debt free, saving, canning, gardening, auto, basic sewing, animal husbandry (we raised enough pigs, steers and chickens to feed our family a year at a time), basic survival skills and wilderness training. We are not off grid, we live in a small rural, mountain town and we go hiking and camping in the mountains regularly and we have learned through starting out with “nothing” to now, that being smart about pantry and meat items and self sufficiency will carry one through the hard and the good times. We are not conspiracy theorists per se, but we are preppers to a degree, and more because of becoming self-sufficient than what is happening in the world now, we take the biblical approach to having stores of food like Joseph did for those times where we either do t have a lot of income or because of the pandemic, and we are close to retiring so we know we will be able to adjust to cutting our income in half when the time comes.
Love that you say what you want instead of catering to others for views. You be you. And anyone not looking into conspiracies lately must have theirs eyes closed! Preparing for the future is prudent and wise.
At least half the population has its eyes closed. Maybe more. Its very concerning.
@@erininmontana5792 amen to that!! 🙏🏻
Hahahah! Talking Conspiracies with your mother! I love it!! Thanks for the video!! My mother has passed away, so I get to talk conspiracies with my mother in law!!
I think it’s great how you and your husband work together! It’s OK to have your own “jobs” that you do well to raise your family. Unfortunately, a lot of times both men and women complain about doing the other ones “job” or they complain about doing their own jobs to take care of their family. If more marriages were like yours and more people had the same mindset as you and your husband, marriages would go well! The baby smiles are the best! Your little boy playing outside with the kitty is so precious! Thank you for showing us the grocery hall, I have been wanting to order from them for a while and I just haven’t done it, I think I’ll make an order!
Hi, I look forward to your videos, you are one of the few critical thinkers in YT land I’ve come to appreciate. At 55 I’m still learning about cooking from scratch. A few months ago, finished chemo and my ibs needs regulating. If at some point you can show what you eat in day or week would be appreciated.
You have a beautiful family!
Just an FYI that I learned from Doug and Stacy’s Off Grid site, but always use your discretion and do your own research, they said to check the type of rennet that is used in cheese. There are many if not it seems all manufactures are switch from animal rennet to using microbial, vegetable, or it will say just enzymes. One will think they are all switching to accomodate the vegans. My mind goes in a different direction….what do they feed these enzymes…..SOY! I have found a local organic farm that uses animal rennet in their cheese and sells it to make your own. Keep trying to perfect your cheese making skills using animal rennet. It’s so worth it since the SOY debate is real! Thanks for great video and all the info. I love azure too.
Hello to your uncle 👋🏼 nice to meet him. I love grocery hauls, you spent a lot but you also bought a lot. Great video thanks for sharing it with us 🥰
What a fun chit chat with your mom. I love that. My best friend who I didn't find til my 50s love a chat about all sorts putting the world to rights as the British say
My parents used to go to Costco and later BJ’s to feed our family of 6 for $800-$900 back in 2010-2019. We’re all adults out of the house now, BUT I do remember people used to ask us if we were having a party 😂
I exclusively shop at costco. When I'm in Idaho in the summer I get asked this EVERY time because I use 2 carts. I just respond, "Nope, just a lot of kids." I bring my older 2 kids with me because well, if they want to eat they need to help. We do live full time in Hawaii. There's only 1 Costco, so everyone does HUGE grocery hauls, minus the tourists. If we're getting 2-3 carts no one bats an eye.
I love keeping a highly stocked pantry. It's only my husband and I now, but I continue to stay stocked. I do azure standard and thrive. I also do other stores. I keep things on a schedule so that I spend the same amount each week but go to different sources each week. I grow a garden and we go to u picks and farmers markets. We are both in our early 60s and neither of us take any medications or have any medical conditions. I attribute that to clean eating. We eat well. Food is used to heal us when needed. I love your straight forward, no nonsense style
TOTALLY agree on overhead lights (plus because it prevents melatonin production at nighttime!)
And also am a person with poor time management and always running late. I hate this about myself but haven’t yet been able to change… 😝🙏🏻🙏🏻
I love Azure's quality standards and social values. Way better than Thrive.
Love love love seeing you teaching your daughter❤!
Your channel just came up, so I decided to watch your videos. This is the second one that I watch. What I have seen, I like. Thank you for shariing.
They're so good! Go back to some earlier ones too ❤ I listen while cooking and cleaning. So relaxing. Many great ideas and just loving how their family lives.
I so enjoy your videos and get so excited when I see you posted a new one! You have such an awesome kitchen. I am always amazed how much I learn from you and you are almost 30 years younger than me! I love cabbage as well. I am going to try to make that recipe. Until next video.....xo Nancy from OHIO
Thank you so much for being real! I love watching your videos. I have learned so much from your videos and I feel like we are on the same level! Thank you so much and God bless you and your family!🙏🏻
I love that you don’t wait to be a perfectionist before sharing! I like learning from people that are not scared to share while they are learning, too!! Thank you! Beautiful family!
kay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kislux book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
Please show us how to make sauerkraut
Kamut is actually pronounced - kah -moot. Such a confusing word, but it’s an excellent grain! 🌾
I purchased 5 gallon buckets from Azure and gamma seal lids to store all of my bulk salt, rice, grains, etc. They work amazing!
I’m enjoying your videos and will be going back in the library to watch more! I’m curious about your floors. Are these pine planks? And what is the finish? It’s exactly what I want for my bedroom.
Oh my goodness girl! Your look amazing! I mean you are beautiful and fit! I so wish I had not been so lazy and educated myself when I was younger to keep myself fit and healthy! I’m 57 and a hot mess,, I would love to do AZURE Standard ! Your sweet baby is adorable
Liked seeing the variety of Azure products. I'm waiting on my first order to arrive next week.
I’m so excited for the baby sleep video!! Even though I don’t have a baby I love your wisdom and this is how I hope to be when I have babies god willing❤️
Cilantro lime chicken! Yuuum! Going to try that. I really want to work on planning meals like you do...very inspiring video😊😊😊
Hello Uncle Dickie I feel privileged to be here at the beginning of the new internet sensation😂🎉
Haha he is truly so fun!
I had a grain mill for 3 years before being brave enough to open it and put it to use 🙃
I love, love, love your video content!
I love me some Azure. I've never done a haul as big as yours but there are certain things that i can't find anywhere else.
I don't buy a lot of produce especially the fruits because I've had some real loss with that. I live in Florida so it's just too doggone hot to transport it to here.
I have purchased the leeks before, and some beets and they were beautiful. They carry a white (non-bleached) organic artisan flour that sells out frequently. It makes the absolutely best cinnamon rolls I have ever made.
Love that you are teaching your daughter these basic skills. My girls were not always happy with learning it but each one now is able to care for their families.
I normally grow my own garlic, but we let our land sit fallow this year. So I ordered garlic from Azure last month. Let me tell you it is the best garlic I have ever used. But please be careful and wear gloves when peeling large amounts at a time. My fingers got burned from the oils of the garlic. Azures raw cheeses are definitely the best and we are never without some in the fridge and freezer. ❤
As a fellow non-puritain, I love how you are not embarrassed to show the beer in your fridge!
Oh my goodness! I’m so excited that you’re going to start milling. I just got my Grain Mill (same as yours) last week; my grains will be here next week with my Azure pickup. I’m like you though, I’m in a gut flare so I’m doing very basic meat and broth and the SuperGut yogurt, hoping to get on the right track and get out of my AI flare 🤒 so excited to follow along and learn with you!
Would love info on how long the haul lasts, how many meals, how many it feeds, etc! We are a family of 9 and I've been considering azure
Those damn cons***acy theories, usually end up coming true 🤔😊
Another great vlog ❤
Not meaning to be argumentative at all,but i learned both. I worked orimarily with my dad and i still learned cooking, canning, cleaning, etc. And my dad did the gardening along with my mom. The outdoor skills are particularly important for a woman so she is not dependent. And are you teaching your sons to cook and do house chores also? That will be of great value tto them and their families later. I certainly get division of labor but both boys and girls need all the skills for a true partnership and i hate seeing it divided in the way some do. Not saying you are doing that but it did appear so in this video. ❤
I think its great that she is teaching her daughter skills but i Agree. All are life skills that both boys & girls should learn to be well adjusted adults. I have a boy & girl -teaching them both gardening at the moment. My son is too young to do any cooking yet. But he loves cleaning. It's nice to know my kids will be able to thrive in their own right & be independent if they want/need to be 😊. Hoping to teach both the same skills. If they both stay single & have no kids its stuff they would have to do anyway. If they have families in the future they know what to do no matter where life takes them. Again whatever works for her- not my kids lol
I had my garlic mildew from azure when I kept it in the plastic bag in the fridge . My friend got some cotton produce bags of Amazon & I'm going to try that .
My Azure onions did the same thing when I left them in the plastic bag! I take the bag off every time now and have not had a problem since.
I enjoyed this immensely. Maybe because it showed more family stuff? I don't know but thanks. And may I say your looking fabulous and your daughter is a beauty just like you.
So excited you are going to start milling!
I am appalled by the prices of groceries as well. I just picked up a $2,300.00 Azure order on Monday. Almost all of our food comes from Azure, a local farm provides almost all of our meat, plus my husband is a hunter. We buy fruits and vegetables seasonly from local farms and also a lot of frozen produce from Azure. I do get some stuff from Costco and Sam's Club and some things from Thrive Market. But once I got our massive "home grocery store" fully stocked, I have only made four orders the entire year from Azure. It came out to be $320 a month for 12 month period. I won't make another order until Spring so I find it appealing, although a lot of upfront cost, to get massive orders then be set for a while.
Wow. This is cool. I admire that level of planning and organization
@@lc8119 Thank you. It is a lot of work and I often say I am a grocery store manager. LOL. But the sense of security is priceless.
Hello Uncle Dickie. Greetings from Germany.
Azure’s carrots come in 25# bags. They store in the fridge well. I like to powder some after I freeze dry them to sneak into other foods too. 😉
I wish we had Azure Standard in Canada!!!
I bet you’re not the only one who feels that way! If I were you I would reach out to them and get a discussion going on plans of expansion to Canada.
You’re so fun ☺️🙃 loved this video!
Order it monthly , I have been working on getting enough food put away for a year ! Building a pantry is essential! I usually order 50 pounds of carrots about every other month ! I am not a great gardener for growing my carrots !
cheesy cabbage!! that sounds amazing!
I love Azure!!! A necessity for bulk buying
I love your content!! ❤
Hi, how do you keep your vegetables from not going bad? Cheese do you freeze it?
We shred our big blocks of raw cheese from Azure in the food processor and then freeze in appropriate size portions in zip loc bags. I do cut some for eating too, but keep that portion in the fridge. Works great!!
@@stephaniem542 Thank You!
I'm with you on the lights! My husband will turn the lights on in the morning even. He blames his brown eyes 😂
@@darienhemmerlein7543 same!
I loooooove your channel!!! I was taught very little of these homemaking skills growing up and I am making a huge effort to do more for my house in life. I’m wondering after everything that you make by hand and from scratch, do you have any guilty pleasures from the processed world? A favorite chip, candy, or drink from time to time? ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love this! I’m always excited to see a video from you.
I should really start ordering from Azure. I’ve wanted to for a while and just haven’t bitten the bullet.
Also, please tell me about that jar lifter! It looks nice.
Your grain mill link isn’t linking. Thought you might want to know!
Hey uncle Dickie! 👋🏽
Milling my own grain makes me feel like a real homesteader even though I love in the burbs.
I wish I could get Azure standard here in Canada.
Lol I needed that code Yesterday, I literally just placed my order 😆
Looking forward to your grain journey! I have been wanting to try milling too. It seems very complicated though. Not sure the investment would serve us long term. ( I would stick to it/ find we like it)
Hi Uncle Dicky!!!! 🤩😃
I like your fridge and freezer. What brand are they?
the amish are actually not as "healthy" as some would think... they use seed oils, dyes, corn syrup, etc., just like standard america! at least the things they make and sell to people in their markets.
And they have a false religion
@@jasonrahimzadeh2342 YES!!! people think they are born again and the aren't
You must be looking at the wrong Amish people-because the farm we go to, they do no such things you mention! They follow the Westin price foundation and truly do care about what they eat!
We had 3 kids going through their growth spurts at the same time two, 11 year olds and a 13 year old. They ate so much food for about 3-4 years and now it’s back to normal. I was cooking food like they were still 11-15 years old and we had a ton of leftovers for about 6 months and I couldn’t figure out why. Well, they weren’t eating as much and it almost offended me. 😂 but they’re girls, the growth spurts died down, and they really care about their bodies at 16 and 18. I don’t have any boys, but my sister says they eat like they’re growing for 8 years straight. 😊
Groceries are so expensive but at least you buy bulk good quality staple food with Azure. I'm in Europe so I would love to have Azure here. When your kids become teen man your food will disappear. Look for them being super hungry all the time that signals a growth spurt of a couple of inches seemingly over night and then it's a lot of bumped heads while they get used to Thier new height. So fun to see. Have a little tradition with your daughter just you and she does maybe a certain tea or a certain cookie you have when the kitchen project is done go sit down just with her have a mom and me tea and chat
I did that with my girls and they each still want to do kitchen things with me in Thier early 20s
Enjoyed the video 😊
We need uncle Dicky in more videos !!!!
Starts at 5:55
Thank you for sharing this… with all of the current inflation 😵💫 we could all use fresh ideas on how to feed ourselves affordably.
I know you live in the Midwest. Have you had any issues with spoiled milk on arrival? We live in Kentucky and are wanting to purchase milk from a good source.
I wish I had access to Azure pick up!
That kitty ❤omg ❤❤❤❤❤
Enjoyed.
You can freeze that milk and half and half? Do you need to open first? Does it still have good taste when you thaw?
Love love cabbage
Unrelated: where are your shorts in the beginning from?? They look so comfy and have pockets!
I would love to know if you use natural haircare and how you keep your hair so nice. My hair is the same lwngth as yours and keeping the bottom from getting tangled is sooo hard, especially with natural haircare.
FREEZE YOUR GRAINS FIRST TRUST Me!
I would love to know more about azure.. I get nervous buying food from mystery warehouse and some of it with their “company logo” on it. You buying it made me feel a little more confident in it lol
Also, do you always freeze your dairy? I had no idea that was a thing.
Do you cut your cheese in blocks and coat them in wax? Helps long life storage?
Nice!!
Wow!
I also order azure standard. I love them. But I hate one thing. I order stuff I really need (ex. Einkorn wheat berries 😂) and it shows available, and then at the day of shipment I get an email with updated order saying they dropped off said item because it's no longer available. 😩
How long does it take you to process/prep this order? Do you separate it out for meals right away or use it as you go?
New here and I am a conspiracy theorist or more like researcher too ❤. Enjoyed the video!
Welcome aboard! 🥳
Azure no longer has gallon jars. Super sad about that.
Sorry I had a hard time hearing the milk details. Are you day 8-2 or A2?
Wish I could by raw milk.
Why does every azure standard haul video I see sound like an ad? 😂😂
My kids eat me out of house and home! I have a 5,4,2,2 and 1 year old
Do you work out? Girl you are built ! lol
Ka - moot 😊
I’ve never seen an olive oil that’s actually olive in color? How’s the taste? I’m looking for a full bodied flavor that scratches your throat lol I haven’t found around me, just flavorless stuff 😢
I usually buy this same oil and recently bought one from Amazon. Still organic, but it was NOT comparable in taste. I’m definitely going back to the Azure oil.
Can I ask a quick question. We are choosing a sink for the kitchen I like the bigger single rectangle ones like you have. Do you have problems not having a draining board when doing dishes?
I have a huge workstation sink. No drain board, but it has multiple accessories that layer inside of it that allow dishes to drain. We love it and would never go back to a smaller sink.
@@thehometownhomestead that's great info thanks so much for taking the time to comment x
@@juststoppingby390 you’re welcome! It has some awesome cutting boards and colander setup that work with it also. I absolutely do recommend a huge sink!
I have a double barn sink, it's great for a medium size family. We have 5-7 people in & out
@@thehometownhomesteadagree.. we bought one too and love it!!
Azure inst a co op. It is just a business.
I’ve tried to buy from azure but it comes out to too much $ for me :(
Kamut = kuh • moot 💕
Does anyone know what tan carrier she is wearing? :)
It looked like it may be a LilleBaby.
ka-moot (from someone who's actually grown it 😂)
job me
you don´t teach your boys culinarys skills? why? They dónt need to know how to feed themselves??
