I am urban and I can food and store food. I have potatoes right now, When I feel they won't last then I can them.

Now there is my dream!! Wow, I would love to have a storage room like that

Growing is Wonderful and Very Rewarding! What a Beautiful Life!

Thank you for the explanation. I live in a 1100 square ft apt., and I have a 4x10 pantry closet. Little by little it's filling up.

Just weigh your food before and after freeze drying to know exactly how much water to add when rehydrating

She is completely right, that you don’t have to have a cellar. I have a pantry like hers, and it’s indoors. It is in a room without windows, so that stabilizes the temperature some. We don’t store fresh food there though. Fresh and fermented foods, I keep in an old fridge in the garage. I am a little on the fence when it comes to buying a freeze dryer. Yes, it makes for better saved foods, but it’s also very expensive. A friend of mine told me to calculate how much I spend on freeze dried foods a year and incorporate that. On average I spend 300$ a year on that. That would mean, that it will take me 10+ years for it to have paid for itself in saving. I don’t think that’s realistic for us, especially since a lot of what they freeze dry, like for example broth, can be done in a regular dehydrator. I also like having broth on the shelve, simply because it’s faster and simpler, than having to rehydrate the powder. We only use the powder, if we want to add extra flavor to a stew or sauce, otherwise I use liquid broth. Take rice for example. I cook them in broth, since that adds extra nutrients and flavor. If I only had the powder, I would have to boil water, and rehydrate the powder first. As for eggs. I have seen those rehydrated, and it can be hard to get the lumps out when you rehydrate them, and they are already scrambled, which limits what you can use them for. Fresh clean unwashed eggs, can be preserved in lime water (water glassed), for 12+ months. Fresh unwashed eggs, will last up to 7 months in the fridge. Out chickens slows down production in November and start up again in February. So, I only have to preserve enough eggs for 3 months. During peak season, we get over a dozen eggs a day, but we only eat about half of that. Any perfectly clean eggs we get in that period gets water glassed. All of the dirty ones, and put in the fridge. You can’t wash them before hand, since that destroys the bloom, which is what will keep the eggs fresh. We eat the oldest eggs first, so in the end, the eggs we eat from November to February has only been in the fridge for about 4 months, the water glassed eggs we eat, never get older than 8 months. All I have to do, when we are ready to eat them, is wash them. The cold stored ones, because of dirt, and the water glassed ones because lime taste bad.

Totally jealous. I live in a small apartment. I would totally love the pantry like that. Only start creating and preserving my own food about a year ago now. But I am really enjoying it. Would absolutely love to own a freeze dryer.

Молодцы, ребята.

I’m always thinking when I see shelves of glass canned goods, if there’s an earthquake all that food could be destroyed. Something to keep those cans from falling would be wise.

Eggs: 1:1 ratio w/water

Loving your pantry shelf ❤

This would be great for camping, also.

Great video! I would love to have a pantry like that.

I freeze dried a bunch of the lemon slices and then blended them up in the vita mix for powder, and I will tell you it’s the best! They were Meyer, lemons, sweet and boy was it great to have a hot cup of ginger tea with honey with that powdered lemon when I was sick just recently. I lived off it. Can’t wait to have gallons more of powdered lemon. I got the powdered ginger at Trader Joe’s but now I can freeze dry and powder my ginger as well.

Thank you so much for the insight into what it's like actually running a pantry with freeze dried food. I think you sold me on the benefits of this. My only concern is whether my solar would support it. I'm off grid and plan on adding a generator, just haven't got to it yet.

Awesome pantry!!

I love the freez dry fruit like it taste like candy but it's good for you🤗

Excellent video. Cool what u are doing and that u are sharing yr real experience w others.

This is such a great interview, thank you for sharing, Steven!

Just discovered your channel. Lot of great info, thanks. Wouldn't help keep the room cooler if you blocked off the windows? Kris in Orlando

Beautiful pantry

Thank you for the video. It is so much great information

The case of freeze dried peaches! That's definitely worth the cost

Thank you this was very informative about how to freeze dry food and use it after. I appreciate this video.

Hello Nature's Always Right. Excellent video as always. Thanks so much for your tips on canning and preserving food - especially during these times of ongoing food shortages. Now that's what I call a well stocked pantry. 👍😊

great one thanks

Hi from Australia :) im very impressed , Ive just found your channel and have subscribed

Admirable!!

😮I wish I had room to do this in my townhouse

Beautiful pantry!❤

Well done!

Wow! Sucks that I missed this. Have followed Gooseberry for a long time. Absolutely love her pantry!

My freeze dried goat milk was fresh, and it didn’t taste Goaty. Could be your own particular taste, but mine is great. Use it in cooking but I haven’t used it in drinking so maybe that’s the difference.

What is the name of the freezedrier ? Thank you

😮 nice!

Great work❤

Add zinc to your green beans, they won’t lose their color when canned.

Very nice

What freeze dryer do you use? How much of my scarce off-grid solar electricity does it consume?

Cows milk turns out just like the milk you put in .

What type of freeze dryer do you have

You dont even need jar for frezze dried food just vacuum pack them

Nice pantry tour, the O2 absorber removes oxygen, but doesnt remove any moisture, if you're worried about moisture getting into a jar, etc. you can add a silica pack, although most times arent needed. Nice thing with freeze dried items they last @ 25+ yrs shelf life, in addition to the higher nutrients saved, etc. It is higher cost, and maintenance of the pump, etc. and its loud and warm when its operating, so helps to have in a garage/side room, etc. but if you save a variety of foods, it's the best way to go long term. Freeze drying has been in use for decades in Military Rations which while not rated for decades long storage, if you've seen channels where ppl try them 40-50 yrs after the fact, they can be surprisingly good. A new method of preserving is being tested now, instead of freeze drying, its Featuring Vacuum Microwave Dried and Sonic Compressed food that takes a fraction of processing time to make than freeze dried, with it's highly advanced, palatable, and nutritious components, it is the new shelf stable food.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rtODiLqmmJ3IpGg.html

How many children do you have? Thats a lot of food.....I used to can. No longer bad back.

Realistically from someone who has been self sufficient for 30 years, a canning/preserving pantry should not look like this in early spring. It should be running low by now unless the owner is relying on a lot of outside sources for their food supplies. The use of the word "supposed" is pretty telling. Remember folks, if you don't really know how to get and preserve your food, whatever is in your stash, is a LIFETIME SUPPLY.

How long can it keep? Mylar bags need to have labelling and dates freeze dried. You must know what you are doing.

Water glass the eggs

❤❤😮😮

A canning room full of freeze dried foods....

Holy cow $2-6 per batch for electricity in an area w cheap electric??? Ouch!!!😬 Me thinks this isn’t cost effective food preservation for us. Im glad I learned these are power hogs. So we will pass. We live north. Thankfully our basement is really cold w no windows so garden fresh produce stays good longer.

Some say, add a little salt to your goat, milk or milk.

God Loves You Jesus Christ is the only way to FORGIVENESS John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Romans 3:23-26 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Ephesians 2:4-6 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: Faith Alone in the Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ (God) to Forgive your Sins through His blood (By believing in this you have become a new creation in Christ, and have a promise you’ll be with the Lord in your death, but also have the Holy Spirit living in you forever as a guide for you). If you believe, from that moment on to eternity you are saved (No matter how much you sin after). Christ Loves You and he wants you to become a Believer Hell or Heaven? Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 23:13 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? HELL IS A REAL LOCATION ALL NON CHRISTIANS WILL BE THERE John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Heaven or Hell? A PRAYER FOR SALVATION THROUGH FAITH “I know that I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe that Christ died for my sins and rose three days later from the grave. Thank you for forgiving my sin on the cross. You alone Jesus is now why I have forgiveness and eternal life. Thank you in Jesus name. Amen.” If you have prayed this with faith you are Forgiven and now in the Body of Christ. Welcome brother or sister. Remember saying a prayer does not save you, having Faith does in Jesus and what He did for you. I encourage you to find a Godly Bible believing church God Bless
