Art and Bri, I know you are dealing with mold in the house. Check out Barndomiums. Tear down that house completely. Build a huge kitchen, huge storage cellar, several bathrooms, rain storage, and etc. Your channel and market are huge and being the first and your situation they probably will give You a great deal. This also will add value to the homestead if You decide to upgrade.

Great video!! Here’s another idea: DEHYDRATE!! Get a (refurbished/if possible) Excalibar nine tray dehydrator. Buy fruit and veggies in season by the case from local farmers. For example, right now tomatoes are $25 - $40 a case. Slice them with an inexpensive mandolin from an Asian grocery store, or Amazon; just be sure to wear a mesh glove to protect your hand! Dehydrate all that wonderful, fresh, in-season produce and put it in Mason jars to eat for the next nine months. We like apples, strawberries, pineapple, bananas, kale, onions, tomatoes, herbs, and so much more! Store on shelves in your basement or pantry. We make Greek yogurt every week in our dehydrator, too!! A truly essential tool that has saved our family thousands of dollars over the last five years: paid for itself many times over.

I love you guys. It's been a fun four years and cheers for many more. I am excited about the mushrooms!! Pro Tip to other viewers: When I have too many to eat on time, I avoid letting them get slimy, and let them dry then keep them in a jar. They last a very long time when dry, and you can rehydrate them in water overnight, crumble them and add them to anything for texture, flavor, and health, or marinate them and keep them in the fridge. I have a jar of trumpet mushrooms, shiitake, and a blend of miscellaneous from here and there. When they are dry, I include them in salads by hydrating them in the dressing.

I live in the city, very small yard, and have been growing veg and some basil in my front yard and side yard flower beds for several years (with a few flowers interspersed.) Two years ago I decided I need perennial food options. I already had chives and thyme, so I added blackberry vines in the backs of my "flower beds" and a raspberry bush in my side bed. I'm also trying asparagus but it's a pretty small area, and not sure how it will turn out. Anyway, these are really great ideas I'll have to think about.
