You're honestly the biggest inspiration in my life right now. I'm suffering from severe anxiety and depression because I have isolated myself for so long. What you have built for yourself is so beautiful and awe inspiring it almost makes me cry. It gives me strength and hope for the future, thank you Gaz!

Organic food from the earth, fresh and homegrown, incredible recipes, vegan goodness...this man is LIVING THE DREAM!

A guy who treats his mom with love, kindness and respect, will always be the most loving and wonderful husband. So nice to see your mom and you together. And as always, amazing recipes

My three year old granddaughter loves to watch your shows! She thinks you’re “our friend Gaz”, who makes beautiful food. And has fun with chickens. We were scrolling through you tube and she literally yelled, “look Grammy! It’s our friend Gaz! Let’s watch that”. Then we’re watching the pickle section and she yells, “ seeds! I love seeds!” And later, “ those tomatoes look very tasty.” She is your biggest little fan. Keep up the multi generation content my friend. You’re turning a little one into a veggie eater. Plus she loves it when you play with the chickens.

I am a university student with a teeny tiny kitchen and absolutely no garden at all. But I grew up on a little veggies-only farm with an animal sanctuary and my dad is a chef. So basically your videos take me right back home. Thanks Gaz, for this little pocket of comfort :)

Fermented hot sauce? Yes please! I’m really looking forward to your next book and love the idea of including the gardening side of things.

I love gardening shows, and my 4.5 year old loves cooking shows. We've been watching your channel together and he now calls it our "special time"! Thanks for your inspiring content, and for creating something that my boy and I can enjoy together ❤️

As a Pole, I absolutely understand the delight on your face while eating fermented cucumbers! 😂 They’re one of my favorite snacks ever ❤

I just told my daughter how positive and uplifting your energy is and that I would love to have you as a friend. Your excitement about the self grown food is shared by me. I am deeply grateful to be having a beautiful and abundant garden. 🎉

My Polish mom covers her cucumber pickles with a leaf of horseradish. This way, she can skip adding weights to jars. If any mold forms, it forms on the leaf, which can be discarded. She also adds a leaf from a cherry tree. Her pickles are absolute best ❤ I'm fermenting Sugar Rush Peach peppers with Rain forest chillies atm. I'm excited to see the results! I would love to see how you make your fermented hot sauce!!🤓

Dude is living his values and doing it right. So awesome.

Your mum is such a lovely soul its nice to see her in these videos

I think it is wonderful that you encourage people to grow cook eat. I am trying to do similar with young people. Sometimes, we will watch your videos in class.

The giving sauce to your mom was a sweet moment

man i just feel like your cooking evolved so much with your garden. lately your on another level gaz,. Thank you

Gaz the legend, just living the best life out here.

Your hair looks so beautiful in its natural state, You look so handsome, so healthy. I have been following you from the beginning of your journey when you were a shy teen making your videos. Now you are confident and still sharing your vegan journey with us. Thank you so much!!!!

If i find that i am in need of a positive vibe after all that has happened in the world of late, your videos help to heal not just the body but also the soul!!! Thank you!!

"and my mum sends it to you!" The wholesomeness never ends, we luv ya Gaz🥰

Can't imagine the beauty of the life you are living

You know the dating game is insanely rough when Gaz is still single living alone at this homestead. lol!

I have to admit, I’m not a vegan or vegetarian, I don’t even do any gardening. I just really enjoy watching these vids. They always help me unwind from daily stresses. Thanks Gaz.

Oh my gosh! Gaz. You're an absolute delight. The way you interacted with your mum is beautiful. 🥹🥰

Love love love the music when you are pickling tomatoes. It stirred something so deep within me and yet was so peaceful

James & the Giant Peach? Nooo, Gaz & the Giant Pumpkin 😎

As a polish person, fermenting cucumbers with family ever since I can remember, I would recommend fermenting the kind that is a lot smaller then those in the video. They have a lot more taste after fermenting and fit a lot better into regular-sized jars :D

Man you’re one of my favorite people and I don’t even know you!! I LOVE your appreciation for nature and how it interacts with our bodies in beautiful harmony. You glow when you’re around your creations and it’s awesome. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge!! I appreciate you.

Growing up in my small town of Brownwood, Texas blackberries grew in abundance so watching you and your mom pick them right fron the tree brings back memories. You actually give me a peace like no other watching you move around in your homestead and make things. Thank you! ❤

I'm a deaf girl so I try to read with Italian subtitles with Vegan 🌱 forever 💓

I just rediscovered your channel - sometimes the algorithm is brilliant after all ❤ Your content has grown to be so amazing over those past years, so happy to be watching again. And yes please, all the preservation and fermentation content 🎉

As the mum of a young adult son, I love seeing the relationship you have with your mum. I'm so very proud of my son -- he's kind above all else, and smart and funny. I'm sure your mum is very proud of you, as well!

You giving a jar or the blackberry bbq sauce to your mum made me well up, so cute and wholesome 🥺❤️

Sensational video as always, mate. I'm a vegan chef myself and watching your earlier videos really inspired me when I first started eating plant based. Now your garden is inspiring me further. Thanks for all you're doing, big man 💪💪

I had such a crap day today, living alone in the countryside sounds better than ever right now. 😔 Thank you for letting us experience the peace and the joys of gardening and harvesting and preserving with us, even if it's just on screen. 🙏

You sir are a legend and the only man who can carry off a green boiler suit. Everything you do is so tremendously inspiring and you are beautifully poetic at times with the way you speak😊 I wish I was twenty years younger, drop dead gorgeous and could be the apple of your eye. (Pun intended 😊) Thank you for giving the Hens a wonderful new life

Beautiful parents.....Beautiful Children

Gaz's pure joy and never-ending excitement over rediscovering the endless ways an ingredient can transform gives me pure joy and never-ending excitement. Your passion and enthusiasm are contagious Gaz - makes me want to grow, preserve, cook and share delicious meals with those I love all day every day. The Welsh hillside has really lucked out having you there!

I draw such inspiration from you, Gaz! I have your 3 cookbooks and look forward to your next. (Thanks Gaz’s Mom for getting them to me, in Belgium, signed and in beautiful condition.) Your next one will surely reflect this recent life journey and I am so excited! Your enthousiasm beams through our screens and gets us, also, inspired. Thanks so much!

HOT SAUCE ME!!! It's the way my dad has been saying for years he wants to make hot sauce with the peppers he grows. This would be such a joy for us!

Please continue making these videos ...i love watching your videos... I love your voice ... You're so compassionate ...

Just a minor suggestion - we generally use the smallest, crispy cucumbers that we can find. We don't use any weights, we simply tuck them very tightly together. And once you bite into them, they are supposed to be crispy, not soft. In case of big cucumbers, we slice them and make a sort of a salad in a jar. But the best pickled cucumbers, are always small cucumbers. We also add grape leaves inside, apart from garlic and mustard seeds for the flavour :)

You are so precious. Really just needed some light, joy, and peace in my life right now and your energy truly soothed my soul. Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden, knowledge, and light with us, Gaz. 🙏

🎏It's delightful to watch you harvest your vegetables, herbs, feeds your chickens, & cooking healthy foods🥘🍅🥑🐓

this is so cool! having a young person enjoying and also teaching agriculture

A tip for harvesting basil: Pinch off the top of your basil instead of individual leaves! This will promote more growth and make the plant bushier!

yesss, please!!!Our garden has all these purple skinny peppers (very hot)that need to become hot sauce. And bushels of collard greens ,kale and swiis chard. Kimchi it is. This has been the most inspiring video on preservation in.... FOREVER??? Much Peace and Love from Upsate NY. and I'm putting my dehidrator to work asap 🥰

You are a Big inspiration for any Generation 🥝🍅🌶🍒🫑🍑🍐🍐🍏🍎🥔🍆🥑🍌🍋🍊🍅🥦

It warms my heart to see you expand into your own abundant garden. So inspirational! I can remember when you would snip basil from a store bought tiny plant. Now you're cutting armfuls and preserving the extra bounty!!! Love your channel!

I've started growing some greens in my backyard in Australia, and I've just planted tomatoes. You're inspiring people all over the world.

this is what cooking and living should be about

We already love gardening and cooking in our household and I hope I raise my son to be a sweetheart like that 🥹

Oh my goodness, the abundance of your garden! I’ve tried growing vegetables at home, it’s not that easy! Must be the intensity of your enthusiasm ☀️.Great cooking and preserving ideas as well. Home alone is definitely working for you. Thanks, for sharing your garden 🌸, it’s a joy.

Yes please on the fermented hot sauce video. Thanks for all your work on these amazing videos.

Gaz this is Tabitha. This video was so great. Thank you for doing it. What about a cookbook that's all about fermenting and canning and everything you did in this video, like a course. Ok, thanks again.

Those tomatoes looked like heaven in a jar.

It’s so nice watching someone who’s not a pro at farming yet and witnessing them learn as they go. Gives me much more motivation and the vision of possibility for myself! Thank you for your amazing content 💚

Gaz, for your love of growing, preparing nutritious food and the joy that resonates through you when you share and teach, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love it too.

Great ideas for using up the allotment produce. If everyone did this the planet would be in a better state.

Your mum is GORGEOUS 🩵

Loved this episode. The love for your parents is beautiful. N I love the way you drained the water if the blackberries back into the soil/ earth❤️

Love seeing the ferments! Please, keep them coming. I enjoy all your videos and it warms my heart that you go on about your mom helping you by sending out your cookbooks and gathering blackberries today. Also seeing you interact with your dad when he's on your show. It is so refreshing to see a man have such a good relationship with both parents.

Living alone sitting on a pumpkin. Love it. 😂 I always wished living off the land. You inspire me. I will get there.

Lifes cooking and hard worlk….write on..grow on ..your appreciation grows every new epic videos🧐

I really like this pumpkin vibe 🎃

Gaz, i've started this year to cook for groups and seminars as my main job. A lot of my recipes are inspired by you. The people love the Piri Piri Veggie Tray and also different recipes. Its so nice to see the inspiration from the guests to start cooking vegan food, even though they are not vegan. Its just showing people that vegan stuff is amazing! And im so looking forward to see your dream kitchen! Congrats on achieving such a great milestone. You are a big inspiration for a lot of people - thank you🙏

I cannot express how much I love your newer content! You just beam with joy. I started following you years ago when I went plant forward. I fell off that and KZfaq and pretty much anything that inspired me during the pandemic. THAT BEING SAID, I’m back mentally and working on physically and I’ve become addicted to your videos! Keep them coming as you bring a lot of goodness into this world. Also, I’m 48yo from the southeastern US..Georgia, to be exact and I’ve grown up canning, pickeling (word?), freezing etc..my whole life and I learn new ideas and recipes from you constantly. You have truly truly lit a fire in me!!As y’all say across the pond, cheers! PS..this is the book you need to write!!

I remember as a child in my country Armenia 🇦🇲 we used to go foraging End season and ferment 100s of pounds of mini cucumbers green tomatoes eggplants 🍆 cauliflowers cabbage carrots little green beans onions okra turnips garlic sun-chock little little unripe watermelon yummy yummy ❤❤❤

Absolutely would love to see the chili recipes. Thanks so much for today's recipes. This is my favorite post so far. ❤😊

This is inspiring for the kind of life I hope to have someday. It's heartwarming to see your full smile and peace in each video. It was really sweet seeing you with your mom too

You are an inspiration for those who need change and not only that. Greetings from Romania, Gaz !

From a vegetarian recently come to ferments after years pickling and dehydrating I'm hooked. Born in Llanelli mid-20th century and been living my gardening dream in Southern Tasmania for the past 50 years. Love watching your videos as we grow same fruit and vegetables here.

You are giving us very inspirational healthy ideas for a better lifestyle. Please continue.

It is fun to watch your garden and cooking transformations. i have been canning, dehydrating, pickling and lacto-fermenting garden goods for well over 50 years. Salad greens dehydrate beautifully! Just pull out the hard center stem, because that becomes super hard & tough. Then lightly heap on trays, do not lay flat or you will never get them off the tray! Dry slowly on low heat to retain the garden farm aroma and coloring of salad greens. Lacto-fermented lemons are incredible as is, in drinks or roasted. Try a spoonful of the lemon nectar & a few lemon slices squeezed in a glass of too sweet homemade herbal wine. Perfect match! Dried tomato slices can be seasoned in so many ways, for snacks. Mexican, Italian, Asian, or just plain. My neighbor is addicted to dehydrated onions. Lacto-fermented or dehydrated veggies and fruits are the best snacks ever. My favorite is dehydrated watermelon. They stay sticky so sometimes need to be put back in dryer. So sweet! My gardening tip is to plant tall sunflowers on the south/sun side of each bed, and add kale to each bed. Sunflowers will give plenty of shade to the garden greens. Aphids love sunflowers and kale, so all the other plants, including the beet greens, lettuce and swiss chard will be left completely alone. Naturally, each bed should have assorted herbs because bugs don't like the scents, and the flowers bring pollinators. Nice videos, yes please on the hot sauce. Fermented as well as canned. Many thanks. Janice

I thank you from the bottom of my heart, dear Gaz. I can feel your joy and enthusiasm, you have adapted so much to life in nature and to your homestead and you seem happier than ever. God bless you, greetings from Munich

this is how I wanna live, I don't wanna see the inside of a grocery store. I love the preservation videos!

Yes please - more fermentation videos! I sit here in Indiana and imagine myself walking in your lovely gardens - my inspiration! Love your channel content and the very well done videographer’s work! Each video is a color fest and work of art! Thank you!

Everything looks delicious 😋👌🏼💚💚💚💚💚💚

Your videos always make me happy. Every time you eat a freshly picked produce enjoying it like a kid in a candy store

That cookbook is my cooking Bible. They better give u a book deal! 🥰🤗

Adding bay leaves or oak leaves to the cucumbers keeps them crisp over time.

Absolutely love watching you thriving in all of that gorgeous greenery! Really inspiring and I want to create a garden like this eventually 🙏🏻 keep the vids like this coming, enjoy them so much! Much love 🤍

Gaz, this is a great video with lots of great content. I was touched by that gentle pat on your mom's shoulder as you gave her the jar of blackberry bbq sauce. So sweet.

Your videos bring me so much joy. Commenting for the algorithm; you deserve all the support for your efforts and wonderful spirit. Thank you for inspiring me to get back into the garden AND the kitchen. Love from Australia 💛🌻

We love your channel. We are getting into gardening and you are inspirational! We love your preserving! We are vegans and have all your cookbooks. Thank you Gaz❤

We absolutely want that fermented hot sauce!!!! Sounds soooooo good 👻

You are such a bubble of joy. I adore your posts and your ethics and your enthusiasm. A marvellous journey of development and growth.

This guy has his priorities straight ❤

My first ferment was a pizza flavored carrot recipe. I love to ferment foods but you're right it can be a bit squeamish to begin. If you haven't read it already, I recommend the book Traditionally Fermented Foods by Shannon Stonger, it's where I got that fun recipe from. Love the wholesome content, Gaz!

Hi Gaz, you’re such an inspiration. This video couldn’t have popped up in my feed at any better time. I’m commencing a new diet to improve my gut health, I will most definitely be making the kimchi. You’re the boss! Big love from Australia, keep doing what you’re doing it’s fantastic 😊👊🏼🫶

So nice to see a vegan homesteader🥺💙

Loved the original farmer’s carry that we do at the gym. 25kg is quite the pumpkin!

Thank you for so many great preservation ideas! More the merrier!

Hello Gaz! Firstly, I would like to say that I really like your hair curls in this video 😍 And secondly, I grew up in a village in Russia. We made cucumbers in jars every year. We always added not only dill, but also currant leaves to the marinade.

Blackberry Bar-B-Q sauce! Genius! 😋

Remember to "burp" your jars when lactofermentimg or they can explode with the built up gasses. You can also just use a rubber band instead of the metal clasp so that if air builds up, it can get out. Store on a cookie sheet to protect from leakage

Been rewatching your farm videos waiting for you to upload a new one, and here it is! Thank you Gaz, your new videos have changed me, I'm looking forward to move to the country side and grow my own food❤

Big yes to the hotty sauce and more lil baby chicken content please🙏🏼 love seeing them eat the veggie scraps🥲

sir you DO inspire me, so much. I have aways for years and years wanted to move somewhere quiet and start a smallholding like yours here. Its so peaceful, you are so happy and im envious!

I have follow you quite some time and find out that it is now that I really enjoy the most of your videos, the country side, you growing your own food, cooking ,your parents, ahh the gallinitas..everything it is another level, Superior. Te digo voy a ti. Thank you.

I've been waiting for this video🤩 preserving food can also be totally done as a nice family bonding activity...☺️ thanks for always bringing the highest quality both in your productions and your recipes, Gaz (and team!). Your passion and calm energy are so contagious❤️ ps: have you seen the new documentary series Blue Zone? Lots of inspiration for what could be a series of recipes, I reckon!!
