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.

[@NanaPelletier]

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.

[@robinbutler7863]

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.

[@WeeLee64]

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

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

[@debbiemusgrove676]

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

[@azathenazach2945]

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!!!

[@RootedInTx]

Jen is a rockstar! Do the freeze dried eggs need to be sealed in the jars?? If so how’s it done?

[@debbiewilson5739]

looks great guys i wish canada got azure standard

[@craftlover9702]

Would love to see a soap making video!!

[@cyndeecollings9461]

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

[@gillianmuspic2337]

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

[@growinggenerationshomestea516]

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

[@opybrook7766]

How does freeze drying work and why choose it over dehydration?

[@babs3343]

How easy is it cooking with freezer dried veggies, such as veggie soup, okay you answered my question!

[@sccg2424]

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. 💕💕💕💕

[@evalinawarne1337]

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 🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️🀄🀄🀄🀄🀄✝️🛐✝️🛐✝️🛐🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️🀄✝️🛐

[@tinahurley1316]

[@pennynewell3459]

You mentioned Pink Salt, have you ever tried Redmond Real Salt from Utah? It is great, and from USA. Becky @ Acre Homestead has a video of a tour of the mine.

[@RetiredLovingIt]

Busy life indeed!

[@aSoldiersGirlieGirl]

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

[@bettycaudle4018]

Love ya..that's all❤

[@simplyblessed7036]

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

[@ItsMe-mk7pt]

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

[@Thisisit120]

I have also done eggs in the freeze dryer but I was wondering do you put a oxygen absorber or a Desitin pack in with your eggs?

[@Michelle-oo6is]

Wonderful my sweet friends! Thank you ❤️

[@freecalkid]

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!

[@StiversHomestead]

So wonderful to meet you!

[@deloreslomonaco570]

Freezed dried figs are yummy too

[@kyliemunday]

As the celery and carrots are organic, can you regrow them from the ends you cut off? Great video today.

[@tawniewolf3325]

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

[@wrinklesandsprinkles]

⚠️HELP - Is Jen’s breakfast bake recipe written down somewhere? How do I find it?

[@nieserz7]

Do you have videos of your stockpile?!?!

[@cindyeastbourn7642]

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

[@laurasimpson7211]

Recipe please for that sausage casserole recipe!

[@hrisaacs07]

We love Azure!!

[@robertemmons4799]

Was wondering if you guys waterglass your excess eggs?

[@paulawallace6688]

Ours always has delays but love azure anyways.

[@normagrayston7931]

When you get your shop finished you could sell eggs right?

[@karenreaves3650]

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

[@creinicke1000]

A you going to replant The celery roots? I always see clips if folks doing That.

[@ohdear14]

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

[@thepotterandthemarinehomestead]

Jenn- I was wondering if you had ever tried water glassing your eggs? I have seen a video on KZbin where they are doing this.

[@ramblinrosecottage5983]

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.

[@redbarnfarmmtv]

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

[@sabrinadrabing595]

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

[@jadeswrapsandbraids]

Do you have videos of you making tinctures

[@lindapearson6928]

I just love your family and videos. 🥰

[@GardenALittle]

Out of curiosity do you plan on selling eggs like you did in your last homestead? I remember you having special breeds for that even, or is that too much work?

[@ruthirwin5182]

What is the difference between freeze drying and dehydration?

[@09echols]

I don't know if someone has asked this already but can tou sell your dehydrated eggs in your etsy store.

[@sharonmacy989]

Where do I go on Etsy to find your products?

[@candaceaustin4258]

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.

[@1phloxy]

I wish I had your energy.

[@ladonnawoodley5279]

How are the prices? I expect to pay more for clean/organic food but...is it "reasonable"? I want to stock up for hard times but it is only me and I don't have a lot of storage so buying in bulk for one person? I just don't know what to do.

[@bonnied3550]

I just started with Azure and currently one at home. The great thing with azure is you buy what you need. You don’t have to by 25-50lbs. You could also find someone else that is interested in splitting, to get a bit more of a discount by buying a larger quantity, but you can by in lower quantities. 1lb, 5lb…etc. I bought 1 celery bunch to test the quality and I was very happy with what I received compared to the grocery store😃👍🏼 I also like the fact that I don’t need to drive into the next bigger town to go to the box stores, but that I am supporting a good company with a good mission-:). Depending on where you live you may or may not have the additional freight cost?? It was just put out I believe in the March newsletter that Azure is looking for a place to expand, possibly a site in the Midwest?? This could definitely help all the delivery times and changes. I believe they said it was not going to be immediate but they are looking😃👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@joanreid2804]

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.

[@azathenazach2945]

I just got my 1st Azure order. I will try your link next time & see if it works X-D Zach asked: What it this Azure thing everyone talks about? I replied watch the video & find out. ;-)

[@maggie.j.mclean]

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.

[@cindyeastbourn7642]

Oh, how I love your family and how you look at each other, and how you love our Lord. I know if I don’t meet you here on this earth, please look me up when we all get to heaven!

[@terrywright1513]

Please, what were you making in the beginning of this video

[@jenniferrescott1149]

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

[@madretimes0393]

How much did you pay for the freeze dryer?

[@karionhawkins3091]

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

[@lulahawkins6271]

was enjoyable 💕

[@peaceofmyhearthomestead4611]

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

[@cindyeastbourn7642]

[@charmainemrtnz]

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.

[@loritanner4478]

I bake my egg shells and crunch them up and feed them back to my chickens for the calcium.

[@maggie.j.mclean]

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

[@ranaeebonella5303]

You should of used your freeze dried spaghetti you guys did ❤️

[@barbaramccune9383]

What kind of freez dryer do you use

[@Grubby4894]

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,🌻

[@theresateegarden9147]

When my chickens would slack off laying I would make them a big batch of scrambled eggs for several days and egg production would always increase to full production. I always fed oyster shell so calcium was never a problem.

[@loritanner4478]

I bake the egg shells and crush them up and feed them back to the chickens.

[@opybrook7766]

@@loritanner4478 I have raised organic, free range layers on my No kill farm❤️ and have never once done anything more than toss the egg shells back into slop bucket and feed it all back to the chickens and geese. Never have they gone after their own freshly laid eggs, never. Also, my naturalpathic doctor strongly recommended my dehydrating my own hens eggs without washing out inside membrane. After dehydrated, grind to powder, encapsulate and take for the ultimate calcium supplement, better than any on the market. Do Not use store bought eggs ever as they are soaked/washed in strong bleach water!

[@carolnoe9037]

I checked into Azure Standard, and the pickup is farther than I want to drive 😞

[@homemadehome19]

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

[@opybrook7766]

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😍

[@terrywright1513]

My sweet who knows more than me at my elder age.... I can't find Comphry anywhere. No friends, no stores and don't trust the other stuff. Im too old to go getting picking gardening or begging.... can you help?

[@janebobwenzel8074]

I know you would be able to make homemade ketchup. I will not buy it again we love it. Try Living Traditions Homestead's way to make it you will love it. Grandkids love it too.

[@carolcalf2032]

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

[@trishh9823]

Truly love your channel...out of curiosity I googled what Lima beans are considered...( I hate them) to my amazement they are considered a fruit..lol who knew ..

[@sueayres6139]

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

[@loritanner4478]

They sell here for 5.00 a doz.

[@cindyeastbourn7642]

Look up “egg glassing …….keeping eggs not refrigerated for around 9 months or longer. Just search on KZbin, sounds interesting.

[@JKnight911]

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.

[@lynettemunson7953]

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!
