December Azure Haul | How Azure will help us reach goals in 2023 |

[@NancyMatthews-h5g]

Jess. Just got through with all videos and now don't know what to do with myself....Ha. Everyone needs to subscribe and thumbs up. Great family, great ideas, funny situations that we all go through. Hello from Blanco, Texas.........

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Wow thank you Nancy I truly appreciate that so much

[@susaninthehouse768]

I live in Oregon and i love , love, Azure.

[@ravenlaughs9757]

We have a special family owned organic natural store in Anchorage called The Natural Pantry.. not only do they have a full grocery store but a entire section on natural medicines. However they are expensive and in Anchorage where you are in the Valley 40 ish miles away so having Azure delivered down the street for you is really better option for you. Vegetables are hard to keep here they rot almost as fast as you bring them home from the stores. For Kale, mustard greens, Collards, cilantro we cut the stems off just a tiny amount and put right away into cold water with a half cap of apple cider vinegar and treat as a fresh flower in cool area. Radishes we remove the leaves and roll up in a paper towel then into a zip bag leaving the bag unzipper into the bottom drawer of fridge. Lettuce a damp wetish paper towel folded and placed on the cut end then rewrap with the plastic it came in and celery wet paper towel folded and placed on cut in and then wrap in foil and into the fridge. These are some of the tricks we use to keep the vegetables fresh otherwise I am freeze drying them and the rehydrate perfect.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Thank you just now still catching up!

[@penneyolsen3098]

Redman's salt is awesome! That is the salt I use for every thing! If you want to see where that salt comes from, Becky from Acres Homestead went to Redman's for a tour on how they harvest salt! It's a great video! Check out her KZbin channel for this video!!! I am new to your channel and love it! Happy New Year's! Take care!

[@joannathesinger770]

Clearly you do not live in Utah where Redmond is. They are as crooked as the day is long, and they got the state legislature and necessary departments to put virtually ALL other raw milk dairies shut down so that they have a monopoly on the raw milk in Utah. They are not who they seem they are...

[@NeoniaTownley]

Happy New Year, looking forward to more videos.

[@lucindabutler1100]

Hi Jessica, Happy New Year from UK I will be watching you with great interest on your health journey, you're such an inspiration to me, I also have liver issues and have to adjust what I'm eating. Thank you for all the effort you go to, you have a beautiful home and family, I really love those dogs and girls (🐔🐔 🐶🐶) xx Sending love, hugs and prayers to you all in Alaska xx

Happy New Year Modern Homestead Alaska!! Have prosperous 2023!!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Happy New Year!

[@reneespring834]

100% love the cleaning products. Dish soap and dishwasher liquid not equal to commercial brands for cleaning but almost. And no harsh chemicals so a fair trade off.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Perfect thank you! I’m excited to use them.

[@Aprons.Overalls]

Excellent haul, Jessica! So neat to see somebody in Alaska taking advantage of Azure Standard! 😇👍

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Thank you so great!

[@sherrypitt9889]

Hi Jessica, Everything looks so good! Fantastic. Thank You

[@bessiemann7468]

I buy bushel basket of apples can some eat some. I pick my own pears at no cost because they grow out here in the woods pick my own berries I do shop once a month and I am frugal. Happy New Year

[@kristieborer7359]

I use plant based cleaning products and get them at target. Method products. White vinegar for my laundry softener.

[@joycenelson9057]

The closes Costco is 106 miles from where I live in Texas! I feel for you.

[@michaelap4269]

Bonne Année 2023 !!!!

[@cindybrannon234]

Hi Jessica I want to thank you for the wonderful reply you gave me. I have been waiting for your new videos and I finished bing watching your older videos. May the New Year bring you good health and lost of happiness. I love you Jessica and like I said thanks for your kind words when you replied to my message. I am going to look into Azure and see if I can do this. Thank you have a great day.

[@BrendaJBarNett]

Happy New Year!

Hope you're ok after your run in with the tree 😬 ouch!

Hey Jessica. Hope all is well. I'll be checking out the cleaning supplies. Thank you. ❤️

[@maryloudonoghue8447]

Happy and healthy new year to you and your family!❤

[@lorikrafft8197]

I agree 100% with you about this salt. I only use sea salt with all the minerals still left in it.

[@judygoode5866]

Love Azure , I also live far from health stores. My favorite azure products are the dairy free, as I can’t do dairy. I get all things a2 a2 milks, creamers etc. love cheese and I found out I can eat goat cheese, so I get there goat cheeses, love them. Tried plant based wasn’t thrilled about them. Good to see you doing so well❤️

[@aura-leekistner1810]

[@riddle8062]

I didn't make an Azure order in December. I am certainly going to make one for January, after I go through my pantry! I hope you, and your family, have a great New Year's Eve! God bless, and I will see you next year! Lol!

[@lauragroux4444]

Happy New Year’s Eve. 🎉 I really need to look at Azure again, as I was skeptical since there are only the two of us. Of your entire order, the pears are my favorites. Praying that 2023 is the year of all great things! Especially…basement steps! We are in for the remainder hours of 2022, we celebrate, what we refer to as “Amateur Night” in the safety of our home. We know that so many who do not drink alcoholic beverages, do so on 12/31!! 🤷🏻‍♀️ A crash is not the way to start the new year! That being said, our sparkling wine is in the cooler! Hugs to all and see you next year!! ❤🎉 Momma G

[@homesteadmccoy]

You can also purchase small amounts from Azure. I am now a household of one and I order from them. You do save more if you can order larger quantities, but you have to store it and consume it. So if you only use oats once in a while get a 5 or 10 pound bag (of organic!) oats and it will last you a year. If you eat oatmeal every day a 25 pound bag might be more appropriate. When you first try something just buy a small amount. Another key for small families is to place an order when you have compiled a longer list of items that you need or want to try.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Oh wonderful! It’s easy for me to order it

[@sarahschlosser1203]

Wishing you health for the New Year Jessica

[@EclecticOrange]

Happy New Year! 🎉 I would love to see a review of their cleaning products, especially with pets!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Oh perfect!

[@donnaknight2962]

Hi Jessica Happy new year 🎆 And I hope you are ok I love you video I learn a lot from your videos 😊

[@melodysfiresidefarm]

I love their powder dishwasher and laundry detergent. I'm trying their carpet cleaner for the first time also. I have switched to all their cleaner for the bathrooms and kitchen. What a difference it's been to get rid of all the chemicals! Thanks for sharing!! Praying blessing on you and your family for 2023!!

[@ravenlaughs9757]

Happy New Year Jessica and Family🎉

Have a wonderful new year's eve

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Thank you happy new year!

[@homesteadmccoy]

I tried Azure's dishwasher powder and I love it. It cleans the dishes and doesn't stink. When I was using the grocery store pods my dishes would smell like the chemicals in the pod. I haven't tried any of the other cleaning products yet. Please let us know how well they work and if you and the family would recommend.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

So good to know!

[@jackieburnett6881]

Happy New Year! Wish we could order from Azure. Maybe one day! You really did well

[@provincialfarmgirl]

Happy new year!!! You’re a blessing! Thanks for sharing this. I too love their cleaning products. You inspired me to get a free more I hadn’t tried yet. Praying for your health journey.

[@annahoover5296]

Hi Jess,how are you today,well I hope.Wish you and your family a happy New year.

[@ShannonLivesey]

Great haul Jess. I'm doing the challenge as well. I will be canning stuff from my freezer at the same time. I need the freezer close to empty for the garden season as we grow a huge amount of veg and fruit and keeping up is difficult. We make our own sausages of all kinds. Less crap and preservatives in them. Feb is when we make our years worth. This challenge will come in handy. Good luck! I hope you are feeling better( after the tree incident) . Thinking of you and sending you good vibes! Take good care! Blessings 🙏

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Lol look what just popped up. As I go through old messages still trying to play catch up!

[@marilynfdavis891]

Blessings in the New Year!! 💜🎉

[@mikalasimpson7789]

Looking forward too some vegi ideas. Being vegetarian I sometimes find myself in a food rut. Happy new year's to yourself and your wonderful family. Get better soon 💖💖💖💖💖

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Oh wow sounds good maybe you could help me!

[@beverlygiroux2824]

Your Azure haul is great. I actually gasped, when you mentioned the price of apples up there. Wowzie….then, what your price is, with Azure. A huge difference. Your entire order, I think, is very reasonable. Thanks so much, for sharing with us. Hugs, Bev in Maine

[@Linda-tp5ik]

Happy New Year 🙏

Happy New Year!

[@lynsmith2698]

Happy New Years Jessica. Wish we could get Azures, great video.❄️🇨🇦❄️

[@aimeebeech6101]

Have you made it to Natural Pantry in Anchorage? They have a lot of natural foods, but they’re kind of expensive. Worth checking out for their little kitchen section though!

[@hannahkayee831]

Might try along with you doing the whole 30. Not eating Ramen noodles will be a struggle. It really is one of my favorite things. Likely because I hardly ever got to have it as a kid.

[@karenkollmer]

I bought two bags of carrots this time. They are so good! I got 10 lbs of those onions. They are amazing!!!

[@zinaj9437]

As an another Azure Standard user, I have to say that Azure Standard is great at making things right if something arrives damaged.

[@WillowsGarden]

Happy New Year Jessica and sweet family! I hope everyone is doing great. I’m excited to see your creative Whole 30 menu, I’m positive it will be delicious. Azure has some food and supplies that is way cheaper in the lower states. Hope everyone has a blessed day!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Thank you happy new year!

[@alinelson2]

Hi sweet one! I enjoyed watching your Azure haul and loved hearing your thoughts on their uses! Have you bought the cleaners before? I would love to know how you feel they work. It looks like you have a wonderful game plan for your meals! You are so fierce! Big hugs and many blessings!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Thank you so much!

[@elaineparker6986]

Evening Jessica, oh that order looks delicious, when can i move in? It would be really nice to be looked after by a 'Mum'.. Happy healthy New Year to your Family from mine. Bless you.

[@margotkoopmans1186]

It is like you get scared to go too the grocery stores so expensive it is. It is $5.00 for a lettuce here . I am gluten intolerant. And do no sugar because I am pre diabetic but have controlled it for 10 years . But Happy New Year too you and all your family 🙏🕊🙏💞🇨🇦

[@michelleblock7752]

Real Salt is the best! I order straight from there website. You can buy in quantity through them. They also have other seasonings as well. I believe Becky has a code through them for a percentage off. Thank you for more clarification on the whole 30 diet.

[@anitabarnthson7510]

I really enjoy the Azure hauls. Can you use honey in your coffee for a sweetener? Good luck and you probably should have added double the apples and carrots. My daughter is on an auto-immune diet as she has an issue with her eyes. She can have dates and maple syrup.

[@1nicenurse]

I've been on low salt for years now! When I met and married my husband, I had to cut my salt intake by 3/4 ... before I used what I wanted!! At first it was very hard but now when we go out to eat everything is way too salty! My husband, mother in law and hubbys aunt Judy all were all on a low salt diet! Since my marriage to my hubby, we have lost my mother in law and Aunt Judy, who lived with us before their passing from the day I married my hubby "John"... I am a much better cook for using little to no salt!

[@sharonbrown2352]

The produce in the lower 48 is horrible! Our greenhouse has a huge overhead heater, but when we had that unusual cold weather last week it looks like my tomatoes might not have made it. Azure is a good company!

[@ZXX984]

Happy New Year’s! Unfortunately, I have to watch the festivities in the hospital. I mentioned I had surgery coming and we’ll see what happens next 3-5 months if some other procedure is needed. Jessica, I appreciate you taking the time to respond to me comments. You do care about your subscribers. Is Azure like a mail order Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods? I saw you have a video made of you didn’t shop for a month? Till next time. Larry from Florida. The picture is my wife.

[@tinafry6769]

I got fresh ginger. Been wanting to do something like that with it. I wanna watch u. ❤

[@denisecole6128]

My mom was telling me my grandma use to make a ginger drink in the summer to help with heat and dehydration. Would love a recipe.

[@tinafry6769]

@@denisecole6128 absolutely thank you

[@lenalyles2712]

Root vegetables if grown in costal all have natural salt in them. When my thyroid screwed up my specialist put me on a no salt diet for 30 days. The 5 page list of food I couldn't eat would have saved paper of what I could eat.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Oh wow that’s so hard!!

[@deeatwood4048]

think I will try the Whole 30, too

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Wonderful

[@woozlex]

Natural Pantry in Anchorage is the only store I know up there that is a natural food grocer. But their prices are outrageous sometimes. But a good spot for a good quality lunch buffet. If they still do that since 2020

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Wonderful thank you for that information

[@wizelbee]

I don't believe that the apples look much different from what you find in the store. They are shipped as well as possible for sure.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

I agree it’s easy only when they are cheaper per pound. It’s such a balance trying to figure what’s worth it and what’s not

[@hannahkayee831]

Can you have smoked salt? Or your jalapeno salt that would be soooo good!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Yeah I can good idea

[@lenalyles2712]

Happy New Year to you and your family. Azure doesn't come to our area, the closest is over 5 hours depending on traffic.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Happy New Year!

[@kristychavez2149]

Let us know how the cleaner’s work

[@MsWDWFAN1]

Do you have to go to a location to pickup or do they ship to your home? Azure is interesting. But I'm the only person in my home so I'm not sure if it's feasible for me to purchase from them. But you got quite a bit for your money. Have a blessed, safe and Happy New Year!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

I believe you can direct ship I would just contact them. I’m sorry after I got hurt it has taken some time fir me to get back to messages.

[@leahdusenberry9765]

I've seen ghee in the grocery stores and I've seen people buy it on Azure but I've never cooked with it I don't know how to use it can you give me some examples?

[@minab7390]

Is real salt iodized?

[@MichelleHotchkissArt]

I’m in Palmer and have used Azure once to get bulk beans that I just wasn’t able to get here. The drop I used has a huge bulk order shipped up by boat from Seattle area, so the additional shipping for dry items was about 50 cents per pound of my order. Is there any way you can share with me if how you get your Azure order shipped for less? It really took a bite out of our already tight budget. Thanks!

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

When you go on Azure look up drop locations, I use big lake and I know there is one in Wasilla. You could even adjust as needed between them for it to work out date abs pickup times.

[@MichelleHotchkissArt]

@@modernhomesteadalaska Thank you! I will check out different drops

[@susananderson9619]

I'm a widow and wonder if it makes any sense to use Azure.

[@whitestone4401]

I am alone also and I order from Azure. They do have most things in smaller quantities. The quality and taste is outstanding. I do order bulk on items that store well and save a significant amount compared to the grocery store.

[@susananderson9619]

Thank you LoricC 333

[@yolandaortiz1316]

We are three at home, I use azure. When I want to save more I buy in bulk and freeze meat, cheeses ect. That allow me to buy cheap good quality food.

[@bonneymoseley1159]

Where do you pick your Azure order up at may I ask.

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

Big lake, is the drop I choose. But I know there are other drops.

[@tootalltree2002]

For Ghee 7/19 means it was no good years ago 😮. I am sure that the rest is good. Lol 😂

[@modernhomesteadalaska]

That is the day and month I didn’t read the year I should not have assumed you knew it was of 2023.
