I agree with you on supporting the local farmers market

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Amen.

[@yvettegerry9862]

The honey garlic sounds amazing on salmon 😊

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

So good!

[@redlanternhomesteadcathym105]

honey and garlic pair so well together, YUM!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

It’s so strange. Aaron loves it. I want to try it lots of ways from fish and chicken to salad dressing. Let me know other ways to use it.

[@redlanternhomesteadcathym105]

@@modernhomesteadalaska we also use it as medicine.

[@cynthiarobinson1063]

You have a Blessed Week as well

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

You as well!

[@jerseygirlvet]

Great video, thanks for sharing again. Love watching the shopping videos.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Thank you! So kind of you!

[@lindablank]

Thanks for sharing your day with me

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Thank you for watching.

ginger, honey in hot water with lemon is excellent for winter colds or general unwell. I swear by it.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

That’s great I completely agree!

[@ShannonLivesey]

I make a honey lemon ginger tea. I use it to sooth a sore scratchy throat.enjoy!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Yummy! I love that!

[@tamekadavis9051]

Good Morning family and happy Saturday thanks for sharing

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Happy Saturday! The sun is shining today bright and beautiful.

With you support local farmers market

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

It takes a community.

[@pamfrey6785]

At the garlic festival they make garlic ice cream

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

I don’t know about that. Lol I love garlic but I love ice cream

[@anitahamm3171]

Thank you for supporting the farmer's market. 😊

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

I love them! Thank you so much

[@2redbird1]

Garlic nectar has medicinal properties. Easy to make.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Wonderful, can you look it up or how would I go about finding out how to make it?

[@iskijay]

We always appreciate your videos 🎉❤ Sending love from Ontario 🇨🇦

[@carriem7832]

My daughter has two large dogs and they shed a lot…..she has one and runs it everyday before dinner because the fur flies around and the dogs hang out in the open kitchen …..works well if there is a large area…my house is too small but I love my rechargeable broom sweeper for quick tidy ups…..also my rechargeable battery hand vac. Crumbs, some flour dust, small pieces of this and that and I can sweep them up quickly. I don’t know is you have seen anyone mentioning tomato and potato shortages but what I paid last week for 10 lbs is now $2 more… There are no farm stands out this year as they have been previous years…😕 sad

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Wow that is so sad! I have heard so hoping our harvest is huge! I also have one of those quick pick up batter vacuums.

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

I love cholula. I could almost drink it and I feel like I need at least 6 unopened bottles at all times, lol, in case Costco stops carrying it for a while as mine has done before. 😀 And, I agree, the Fannie May s'mores are a favorite for me, too.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Yeah! Yes lots of hot sauces around here. They get on different kicks. Right now my boys are drinking Tabasco! So I have 8 unopened bottles.

[@kristinahawkins6694]

I love buying from the farmers market. I don’t mind the prices, much better than the big box stores.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Agreed!

[@lynne_c]

I have a basic Eufy brand robot vacuum from Amazon. It does great on my tile floor. No bells and whistles, but also more reasonably priced than others.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Great thank you for the input!

[@dixielandhomestead5874]

Fire weed is something I have been wanting to try made into a jelly. The fire weed honey looks good and the mushroom stuff I bet would be awesome.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

I agree! Alaska has a way of feeding us.

[@sandiebrown8291]

Lovely honey's they look yummy. I love the lights in the kitchen they are beautiful. I'm catching up on your videos

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Thank you. I ordered them off Etsy. Long before anything was even in because I had to know the electrical. So the set the tone for the whole kitchen. They are real chicken coop lights on a new hanger. So they are all a little off.

[@tonipalmieri2978]

I have the Shark vacume and love it! It runs and I'm free to do other things. I am a supporter of the Farmer's Market as well, the difference in freshness is everything! I am a huge tea drinker so anxious to hear your critique on the teas. I have patience for the hustle bustle of Costco for the the savings but also am one and a half hours from my nearest one so my trips are every other month so I stock up as well👍

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

I’m with you I’m an 1.5 hours away. It takes all day!!!! But I try and go on a day when I can shop big and see Aaron at work. I feel so lazy he drives past it for work everyday and I’m like I can’t drive that far!

[@lynnebrown-hardy1566]

That honey citron tea is so delish. So soothing when you have a sore or scratchy throat, don’t feel well, or just need an afternoon pick me up

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Oh I’m so excited to try it now.

[@sueshughart7006]

I love my roomba. You should get one!!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

I need something so bad. This dog is a disaster. Our daughter even takes him to the dog was snd brushes him and still with the hair.

[@robinedenshaw8589]

Apricot bread is fabulous!!

[@alinelson2]

I'm with you on buying from the Farmer's Market...I go to one near me every week for fresh produce and try to go to each booth and buy something different...lol! Costco is always a favorite choice for bulk items! I always stay to the end...I LOVE watching your adventures! Hugs and blessings!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Thank you for always being so supportive!

[@loriseverns8363]

They work great get the one that self empties with dogs.

you can freeze the mik products as well.i buy butter milk put 1 xup into zip lock baggies n freeze

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Totally agree I always freeze my butter

[@lauragroux4444]

Just watched today’s video. Loved it. I have to wait about 10-14 days to visit our community farmer’s market, Wayne and I tested positive this morning. He is getting along at about 85% speed and my speed has ground to a halt! But when we get back out in the world, we live near several clusters of Old Amish families/farms. They have always had lovely produce. I thank you for the support of the small American farmers. My dad was one and thankfully he had a trade that paid for our farming. How I wish he could call me and ask I stop over and put in my fall meat order! The very best!! Also, I have yet to make Cowboy Candy. Can’t wait to follow you on that adventure! You and your messages have been my sunshine these past days of illness and gloom. Hugs and blessings. 🤧💤❤️ Momma G. How is Grandma feeling? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Thank you! I do keep you in my prayers. Rest rest rest that’s what got me through. Keep me posted.

[@anetzband1383]

My youngest kids, who have a dog and little children, have a roomba and LOVE it. I understand what you're saying about the supporting of the local farmers, but I will say I can't empathize/understand at all the lure of a $10 coffee. Nor a $5 one. It's 2 cups a day for hubby and me from our trusty coffee maker, using cheap coffee.

[@Mindy56743]

I agree. I buy locally in season from the orchard and berry farms I buy seconds to save money and can them. I drink Folgers coffee and buy it when it is on sale.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

The coffee thing is for sure hard to understand. I also love my coffee at home . But I do buy other drinks. But would much rather spend that at the market.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Me too!!!

[@Mindy56743]

@@modernhomesteadalaska I will occasionally like once every few months get a Starbucks coffee. This is a treat. I love my coffee and tea but try to save as much money as possible. I know many people that will buy them daily and not think anything about that 10.00 then complain about the cost of meat and vegetables.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

@@Mindy56743 exactly! I like my special drinks. But I don’t complain when I buy from someone local. But the amount of people sipping from a Starbucks cup and yet complains about prices is mind boggling to me.

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

Will you please tell me where you got the shelf supports that hold up your kitchen shelves? I love them and I need some sturdy ones.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

We just made them from pipe parts at the home depot. The only thing I did was paint them black. Just know the length you want and build the brackets however you like (Aaron snd I did it in the isle) paint them any color you want. Not cheap in comparison to like the brackets they have pre built but they will hold way more weight.

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

@@modernhomesteadalaska that's so clever and y'all did a great job on them! Thank you!
