    Hi Penny,
    A second electric canner will be a game changer! I'm 75 and the second canner has changed my attitude about canning. Less stress! HalleluYAH!
    Blessings and hugs ♥

    I’m new to your channel through this challenge and you’re just a sweetheart to watch. I love how you focus on feeding others in your community and church.
    I learned that not everyday has to be a big preserving day, I learned to use a dehydrator, I also am learning how to make videos. While I’m not as good as you or other TH-camrs it’s been a fun journey. Happy fall and I look forward to seeing your pantry challenge videos.

Almost felt like I was cheating! 🤦‍♀️ I can’t wait to check out your channel! When I started, my husband was helping with the camera and I had to tell him to turn it off (even though it was going well) and I just cried because I was so scared to do it.

I can't tell you how much your videos have meant to me. I had a few days that weren't the best and you helped lift me and get me back on track (God's work there).

    I have really enjoyed watching your videos. I am glad to hear that your husband really appreciates your hard work canning up meals. That is quite a bit of savings you accomplished, especially with the price of foods in the stores these days. I do not get to put up as much food as I would like, but I hear that voice in my head every time I do put something up, that every little bit counts. Whether it comes from the store or I grow it myself. I totally understand the problems standing on your feet in a kitchen can cause. I have to keep a stool in my kitchen, for days when my back is not being cooperative. I am really looking forward to the pantry challenge coming up. I always look forward to both of the challenges and try to watch when I can.

      Hi Teresa! I am blessed that Mark does care that I am putting food on the shelves. And I understand you may not be doing as much as you want. I have only been able to do this the last few years and each year try to increase what I accomplish. It is a growing skill for me for sure! I knew there would be some of you out there who understood that standing in the kitchen and kind of half bent over motion attacking the back. That’s why I wanted to give some good tips. I’m glad you have learned to use a stool! Thank you so much for coming along and I hope to hear from you on a regular basis. I love getting to know my viewers. Blessings my new friend!

    I fairly new to pressure canning, but have been making jams jellies and pickles a long time. We do what we can I shop the sales for meat and canned 23 pints of ugly chicken and 4 quart sized jars. Carrots, beans I grew. Jam making is next, unfortunately I had no pickling cucumbers 😊this year unlike the abundance last year same with tomatoes just wasn't a good year but still have a shelf full from last year😊 always thankfully for what I have. Love your vlogs x😊

      It sounds like you have been busy Ann! I just love how everyone refers to the chicken as “ugly chicken” 🤣 I mean, it’s not a lie! But man is it so good! I’m sorry that your cucumbers and tomatoes didn’t fair as well as they did last year. My tomatoes are very sad from lack of rain for the last three months. I have tried watering them, but they don’t want city water, they want God water! He did water them yesterday and we got a little over an inch. I hope that they are going to perk up and be happy.
      What a blessing that you still have tomatoes on the shelf from last year! It’s almost like our garden knows it’s going to be less the following year, so it gives us an abundance to work with when it can! 😊

    I’ve never quite understood the purpose of eating for X number of weeks/months not spending money and eating up one’s larder. Seems to me a lifestyle of being frugal overall…along with storing/preserving/etc….is far more “practical.” Thoughts??? Thank you. First time visitor to your channel.

    • @OpenHandFarm
      @OpenHandFarm  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Robin! Welcome to our channel! I think the reason Jessica has that challenge is because winters can be really hard in our area. Sometimes going to the store when the weather is going to be bad there’s hardly anything on the shelves. I think it’s also the thought of, if we are filling our shelves with food that we harvest in the summer and we don’t use it then we end up with lots of extra on our shelves that doesn’t get eaten after preserving the next year‘s harvest. Or, maybe she just wants to challenge us to not spend money. 😁
      I will say, though, most of the people doing this challenge are continually preserving throughout the year. Even through the pantry challenge. I will be canning things if I get them at a good price or given some items that we can’t use quickly. So I don’t think it’s a matter of eating up what is there, I think she wants us to have a lifestyle of continually preserving and eating and being self-sufficient. We cannot be totally self-sufficient where we are, but it is nice to know that I can go two months without having to go to the store very much. It made me have more confidence in storing food for family.
      I hope this has helped answer your question. If not, feel free to ask Jessica at three Rivers homestead. I’m sure she would be happy to help. Or, you could look up her pantry challenge videos. She explains the challenge every year so maybe that would be more helpful. 😁 it was so good to hear from you and I hope to hear from you again.!
