Homestead moms are a dying breed. But strong! Gotta get back to the homestead life ❤️❤️❤️. Keep up the good work Jen 🥰🥰🥰

Hey Stivers.. I was so happy to say hello at the Azure drop .. hope that was ok. We are homesteaders at heart and doing our best. We are in our 70's and gardening and azuring, had a freeze dryer and processed a lot of stuff then sold the dryer to recoup the $$. Your kids are precious btw.. just precious. They stood there watching the unloading and were taking it all in. Happy homesteading you guys.. keep up the good work!

Hi beautiful Stiver family. ♥️ I found Azure Standard on KZfaq and will check them out.

Just a suggestion I hard boil eggs in pressure cooker and mash them up and feed them back to chickens for added protein and calcium, helps to cut down on feed cost. we get about 40 eggs a day right now. Thanks for sharing your life,🌻

Bought Azure onions for the first time, they are HUGE, MASSIVE! So fresh! Nothing like the small " shedding" onions you get at the stores... Truly worth the $$

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome, my favorite couple with children!!! You two never sit still, your going and doing all the time!!! Wow, to be young again, wishful thinking!! I am learning from you two, and your children are so Lucky to have parents like you two, I’m proud of you and I’m not even your Mamas!! God’s Blessings to you all, always,🙌🏻😘🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹😍😍🌷🌷🌷🌷🙌🏻🌹🙌🏻🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏🐝🐝🐖🐖🐇🐇

It has actually never occured to me that people would really say unkind anything to you all😟. How terribly, terribly jealous those people must actually be. Such sad people. Each of you are such wonderful Blessings to each of us. Thank you for all you give so selflessly. God Bless Brook🙋🍏🍎 and Opy 🐕💖 and Myah Leilani🐕‍🦺❤️, too😍

Aww, I love that you made some future friends at the Azure drop. We're in a similar situation being newcomers to a small town and making friends can be so tough.

At 5:31 mark I heard the cha-ching and thought I had a sale! Only to realize it was your phone and you got the sale. I love that sound.

So excited about coming to stay with y’all in less than 2 weeks! ❤️

I just started canning sauce. Your blueberry syrup sounds delish

I used to get food also from coops in the 1980's and 1990's. Now I am by myself, I do not use the coop. I used to love shopping this way. I love buying 50 lbs carrots 🥕 to make juice. I am THANKFUL that people still use coops. It can be worth it. GOD BLESS YOU 🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄✝️🛐✝️🛐✝️🛐🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️🀄✝️🛐

Our work at home never ends, I feel like I never have time for myself as a homemaker, definitely the hardest job in the world. Love watching you guys💕🙏🏼🪅🎏😻💕

I’m in CA and my Azure is sometimes delayed by days. Growing pains! I got a 25 lb bag of whole wheat pasta for .11 a lb because it was just after the Best Buy date. It’s fantastic! Jen you are so great in the garden and kitchen you need to make all your catsup for the year after tomato season! Thanks for sharing your journey!

I put veggies in my spaghetti sauce: Onions, peppers, mushrooms and chunks of zucchini squash

Horseradish is super easy to grow! And it’s a perennial. I left our first batch in the ground for a full year. When we pulled it I saved some and replayed and it just comes back. I live in Ontario Canada and zero issue leaving them in for a full year Worth the 7$ for the plant since it will last me forever. Needs very little care and does great in full Sun and drout

Love you both. I'll be canning meats & veggies this summer. I'm 70 and want to get back to off grid living. Be safe & be blessed.

I just love y’all! Always forward thinking and such precious personalities! God bless you and yours!

You two are such a blessing and so beautiful together, thank you so much for sharing what you do. you are so appreciated. God Bless you all always and forever.

I feel totally overwhelmed at all you all do. Do you ever sit down and just chill? I really love watching your videos though. I guess when things get worse over the year, you will be living comfortably. 🙂

I really admire,,this lady....She Cooks,,Deal with her Childrens & Husband....She gardens... They come up with recipes.. She deals with House chores.. Much More.....Continúe to Struggle,. Deal with flower Garden-- as Well. To have Medicines & dry flowers for Decorating.just a Suggt. Move- on ,,I wish to have much Courageeeee. Like this Lady . Good luck

To stretch a meal or in place of a veggie, we will have either sliced apples, orange segments or even jellied cranberry sauce as a side more often than not.

my daughter has been ordering from azure for quite awhile and sent me the link again today! lol love your channel 👍🏼💜😉

Can you break the eggs up and feed them to your pig or other animals? Celery secret for just eating it...clean, cut to container size, fill with water, put in the frig and taste the magic! Try it and let me know what you think.

I do the same thing with my eggshells. If I get too many and don’t need them for the garden I crush them and feed them back to my chickens to help them with calcium for egg production.

You can grow popcorn from the baught pop corn🍿. Just to keep own supply up. Love your muma bear slippers.

There are egg,ham, cottage cheese,green pepper, onion mixture baked in muffin tin and frozen. Microwave or heat in oven in foil.

New to your channel, would you please share your recipe for you breakfast casserole? Haven’t been able to see all your videos yet. ❤️ from LeRoy Illinois

Thanks for sharing Should put a sign out fresh eggs $5 a dozen if not more a friend of mine did that she makes $30 a day but that’s if u have enough chickens thanks again many blessings

It's refreshing to see someone who's not on a Macbook on KZfaq. You guys seem real!

I enjoyed the haul a bunch of cool stuff awesome day in your life as well

have you ever thought of water glassing eggs? Also are there any neighbours you could sell to? You definitely have an abundance of (magnificent coloured) eggs

Jen continues looking for the 🕷️ lol I would have too 😁in the meantime Zach is trying hard not to laugh out🤣 The only good spiders are not in my home lol

Hey!!! That’s my azure drop!! Would have loved to see you guys! I didn’t have an order this time!! Please let us know when you are picking up in North Knox again!! I love your channel!

I’d like to see other peoples Azure hauls because it gives me ideas of what to try next.

Wannbe Homesteader here! 🙋🏼‍♀️ This is my first video of yalls to watch and I loved it and immediately subscribed to yall! Can’t wait to watch more of yalls videos! 💕

Wonderful my sweet friends! Thank you ❤️

We drive almost an hour for our Azure Standard order. We are in East Tennessee. I use to be a coordinator before we moved back home. I’m looking for a place to start one local and run it here. We love their products and we have the same driver we had before he moved. Kerwin is so nice.

Love to see a day in the life ( or 2 day) of mama.

This makes me excited, we are moving to Seymour, TN in May. This will be a big move and first time moving out of our home state WA. Thanks for sharing😊

Azure sounds like something I need to investigate! You all are making great strides in self sustainability. Goodness sakes you are preserving, canning, freeze drying like crazy. Very proud of you both. aww Locust Hill goods....I remember that. it was the beginning of the beginning!

You guys are so sweet😁MostlyJen, Zack you are awesome too, you crack me up, you make my day! I have only done water bath canning, I am looking to add pressure canning, don't have a clue about pressure canning.

Your both wonderful!!!! New to your channel enjoy you guys.

LOL...at 5:34 I heard your Etsy sale notification bell and thought it was mine!

I also buy at the farmers market and stores when needed. But if I have home grown, it's going in a jar or getting dehydrated.

Plant a few pieces of that horseradish. It should grow.

I LOVE the Momma Bear slippers!!!!

If you have an Aldi near you, they have an organic ketchup that has 6 ingredients and tastes amazing. Way better than heinz and cheaper too. 🙂

Try growing some of that horseradish root.. That's something I want to add to my perennial herb area

Yall make my day. Love watching the love between you two ❤. Our children are on their own so can you do small orders?

Hi All. Love watching your videos so much happiness and joy. Jen if you don’t mind can I give you a very simple recipe which you can store long term, in Europe it’s called Mirepoix & consists of = diced carrots, Celery & onion, in Uk freeze drying machine are very very expensive ( approximately $4500). I dehydrate mine and put in a Mylar bag vacuum seal and store. We don’t have access to the large pressure canning you use in USA, mostly we water bath, Iv have done carrots and I didn’t like the texture ( many homestead groups say the same). The Mirepoix is a great way to store a basic veg mix ( which is the standard ingredients for most dishes) try a few trays and see what you think. Also try water glass some of your eggs ready for winter when your chickens don’t lay many, the are great for anything cooked, omelette, scrambled eggs, baking, ect. It’s what my nanna used too do on her farm in Ireland many years ago. Oh forgot to say try doing egg muffins for breakfast or lunch, so easy and once cooked can be frozen and then you can have a fabulous easy breakfast or lunch for the family, my chicken always helped and made their own tray with the ingredients they wanted. Much love to you all. 💕💕💕💕

Thank you for such fast turn around from order to delivery of the comfrey salve I ordered😃. God Bless you all Brook🙋🍏🍎

Love your videos. Thank you for sharing. Regards from GA

Lol 😂 Spider🕷! I so love Azure! I hope one day we can get a freeze dryer. I’m enjoying watching you use yours. Blessings!

"Darn ninja spiders"...😖😳🤣 ~ Chad at Adler Farms

One of my most favorite things is freeze dried celery. It the one thing I feel is necessary and mine was limp and smelly in the drawer. Now I have wonderful fresh celery on demand

Jen, you are such an incredible homemaker. I love watching your videos. Also I know it all is easier with a wonderful Hubby to assist.

I made the blueberry syrup after your last video. We loved it. Super easy and am so glad you shared!

Loved this vlog so much information. you are both so hard working .

You should sell those eggs! I buy from an organic farm here $3 dozen!!!

Love you guys, so much information. Thank you for sharing your life.

I was standing behind you at the Azure drop off. To shy to say hello😄. 👋 That was the largest drop that I have ever seen there! It was awesome!

Love your videos! Thank you for being inspiring and real ♥️

Jen if you add sausage gravy to your break bake its great my family even loves it for dinner.

You took that spider very well.i would be looking all over for it

You can just put one of those pieces of horseradish in water until it starts to root and then plant it. I ordered it from a seed catalog and what you get is the same thing as azures! Wish I had known and I wouldn’t have ordered from a seed company.

I’m putting a stay at your Airbnb on my bucket list ….❤️

I have 16 hens laying, I supply all my family, daughters family and I make egg casseroles with sausage and cheese I also throw in mushrooms and onions and peppers, I still have to do a bunch to freeze, maybe someday I can purchase one of those nice freeze driers!

Love the DITL. You two pack so much into your days. That was a great Azure haul. I'm thinking about ordering from them as well.

We love Azure!!! BTW, love your house shoes....I wear my Mama Bears all the time...lol

when my kids were young i used to blend up mixed veggies and put it in the sauce as they grew the veggies started to get non-blended now my kids have to have veggies with spaghetti lol hugsssss

Our route (northwest, Ga) gets changed a lot too. I wonder if it's because the southeast is so far from their base. Love Azure!

I was just thinking of you guys, I was getting some cowboy candy out of the frig to go on our pizza tonight! 😍😊

Jen, I really appreciated this video. So many times Zack is the main focus, but it’s so nice to sit and have coffee with you. Oh, and my Azure order is never on the time first estimated.

Growing food and then preserving it is a lot of work - but it’s SO WORTH IT!! Love the videos! 👍🏼

Cooked squash and zucchini is really good with spaghetti! It’s even good mixed into the sauce.

Jen is right. Green lima beans or peas are awesome with spaghetti.

Hey Jen! Make some egg noodles to use up a lot of eggs.

Ok I tapped the link so I hope it works.... since I can only find horse raddish 1 place & it has been out of stock for a while I added it to our cart! I'm so excited!!!

Y’all are hittin that algorithm just right! New sub here, I’m loving your content and looking forward to learning.

Y’all both have such beautiful eyes !!

Love that brand of pasta. Great haul! ❤️

I just love your family and videos. 🥰

We love Azure!!

I agree on the Azure here in Kansas it changed every time, was pretty frustrating when you have to plan to pick it up from work, decided to hold off ordering for a while

Now I see why I my bread flour and mixed frozen veggies were out of stock! You got them! 🤣 Oh well, I'll order next time! Love y'alls videos. Keep up the good work!

What a great video! So blessed! I had to jump onto FB and see the spaghetti sauce video, and holy cow! Hope y'all have a great day!

Azure is awesome 👏 I buy my carrots and celery the same way. This time I got the largest carrots ever❤️ They taste delicious not old. Carrot/ sweet potato soup from Pinterest was awesome! Going to make a batch for the freeze dryer. ❤️👩‍🍳🐾🐾☕️

Last fall I made the ketchup recipe that living traditions homestead had on their channel. It was so good I ended up making over 60 pints! My hubby and I love ketchup. But I never liked any of the canning recipes as they always tasted like BBQ sauce not ketchup. But this one really tastes like good ketchup. I will make it every year from now on. I grow all our tomatoes for all my tomato canning now thanks to Jess at roots and refuge farm. I learned how to grow them 3 years ago from her and now I can get them to ripen on the oregon coast!

I love coleslaw with Sketti

Love the videos! And yes Lexington drop the same thing happens

You should be able to plant one of those horseradish roots! I suggest planting in a bed of their own, up here in the north, it can get invasive if you don't contain it.

I was getting tired just watching you guys. For me personally it’s impossible to make absolutely everything from scratch, especially if you have to plant, grow and harvest it first . These days we are all just doing the best we can . Give yourself grace. It’s not an all or nothing proposition anyway. Your kids are awesome 🤩

We like Azure Standard as well. Aldi has really good organic ketchup as well.

The popcorn sounds good!

Lovely relaxing life, lucky you x

You guys are busy busy such a great video 📹 🤷‍♀️❤💯

Enjoyed the video

Oh my goodness! I don’t know what you just put in the oven but that looks delicious! Would you please share? Thank you for these videos. I’m a new subscriber as well as new to Azure.

I love pasta with broccoli and garlic bread. Knoxville?!! I’m two hours from there. 🥰
