Her baby looks so peaceful and in a state of bliss by sleeping next to her/his loving mother and not ever waking up while she talks. I love the way she explains everything and even says we really don't need all the bells and whistles in successful fermentations.

[@MidniteSon]

I love that swaddle!

[@ivankagren2746]

I just put my first few jars under the counter to start. Oh my heavens it was so easy.

[@jonshelton7347]

That child will never want to leave your voice!

This gal is SOOOOO SHARE-WORTHY! She walks the walk and knows what she's doing for sure.

Many years ago (30), my mother & I made sauerkraut.. Recipe said to shred cabbage, add to qt jars & 1 tsp salt on top & add very warm water, put lids on loosely & let sit for 90 days. We had put newspaper down on top of my mothers island & she called me in the morning & said we have a mess....the liquid had soaked the papers & was running on the floor. Atfer the 90 days we started using it & I'll say it was the best sauerkraut I've ever had. We made about 30 jars of it so it was a big mess....lol Mary

[@tinkerdee5923]

I just made what we call mix pickles .. green beans, cabbage & corn .. add salt & hot water (not boiling) but hot .. I didn't have anything to weight my vegetables down .. I noticed that some has risen to the top .. I ask a friend of mine (who has been making these for years) if that was normal, she said yes .. I am so PRAYING that they turn out delicious & we don't get food poison ... I have been buying these mix pickles from the produce store (a local lady makes them & sells them to the produce people) they are quite pricey @ $8.99 quart .. but oh my word .. they are worth every red penny ... Thanks for sharing your story ...oh, we grew up eating these .. I sure do miss them good ole days ...

[@shdawood8639]

Your simplicity is just amazing .you have made things looks so simple .thanks for inspiring us to ferment .

[@fewferfev]

Very helpful. I'm 68 years old and thanks to you making this sound like something I can do, I'm going to try it. And what a warm looking bundle you are wearing :) I just love that you younger people are going back to the old ways and improving on them. Just beautiful. God bless you.

[@constances.1434]

If you watch with subtitles you are no longer Farmhouse on Boone... you become Parmesan Moon. I don't know why that makes me giggle so. Thanks for another great video

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

I love your baby necklace!! You are a very informative and friendly person. Thank you for your contribution.

[@SimpleRootsSimpleLiving]

This is a great time for a playlist like this! Tips are great for now but also for everyday especially after growing season! Which I’m so excited and ready for that hope of spring !

[@theresecornelius812]

I made red cabbage sauerkraut last month and added red beets. It didn’t make its own brine like the green cabbage does, but just make your own and add. Adding fresh cloves of garlic made it insanely addictive. Sooo good!

[@lhenkle13]

Great tutorial!! Thank you. I’m loving this collaboration.

[@kaylakelly953]

I loved this video so much! We are starting a big garden this year so learning ways to preserve all that food is so exciting! Love all your stuff Lisa, you’ve been such a big inspiration for me ❤️

[@jeanfasulo7588]

Thank you, blessing to you and your family 💜

[@kellyfidler]

Thank you! You’ve motivated me to start fermenting again and some entertainment during this quarantine 🙏❤️

[@sherriholcombe5428]

You've inspired me to star fermenting veggies too. And I 've been wanting to bake my own bread for awhile now. I enjoy your videos and the way you explain everything. You are a blessing!

[@taleenk01]

God bless you and your family Lisa, and thank you for introducing me to fermenting.

[@TheHoneystead]

Thank you for this!! Somehow I wasn’t not subscribed to your channel! Super happy that you are part of this series as well! Kaylee

[@sherynehussen6363]

Thank you for your videos! You are so eloquent and explained everything so efficiently. You should be so proud of all the hard work and effort! 😊

[@charlenehoekstra1591]

Thanks Lisa for sharing all your knowledge ☺️

[@Mallard5Farmhouse]

Thanks for all the videos here lately! Gives me inspiration in these awkward times lol 👍

[@joannasmith4793]

Went back to this video from today's video vlog on homesteading and so thankful for the knowledge.

[@prairiemountainhomestead]

This was by far the best cementing video! Thank you so much for this video. I’ll be fermenting very soon

[@oneofmany7051]

There are weight charts available online (somewhere) for how much salt to add per pound of cabbage, etc, for anyone who has a kitchen scale and like precise measurements. 😁 If memory serves me correctly, I believe it is a 3% salt solution for most veggies. For example, if you are fermenting 2-lbs of cabbage, you would calculate the amount of salt needed for a 3% "solution" like this: first, convert the 2-lbs to either ounces or grams. So 32 ounces equals 2-lbs. Then, 32oz × .03 = .96oz of salt needed to sprinkle over your 2-lbs of shredded cabbage, which I would just round up to 1oz. Hope that makes sense! If you are a fan of crunching numbers and/or don't trust yourself with adding the correct amount, this is the method for you. 😊 But do look online for a weight chart before starting! Lisa, you have motivated me to go ferment some veggies! Several years ago, I fermented green peppers, cauliflower, and carrots and my little ones absolutely loved them. Dilly beans are AMAZING. And so is a fermented cranberry relish. You have inspired me to ferment some jalapenos and salsa - yum!

[@andreapinto6848]

THANK YOU Lisa for keeping it EASY!!!

[@kaysp8411]

I'm fermentating garlic right now as I'm watching this. Love your videos thank you Lisa ❤️

The baby is so cute. How adorable that you wear him.

[@VJWLPN1]

Great video, Lisa, thank you. Stay safe and healthy.

[@mandygalgrows4454]

I’ve watched a few videos on fermentation over the years. (Was overwhelmed at one point and dropped it) … but yours is by far the most comprehensive and simplistic video at the same time. Thanks for sharing.

[@brittanyfrentz5494]

I’m hoping to add fermenting to my beginner homestead set of skills this year! Thanks for making this video and giving us all some encouragement to start! ☺️

[@christinesmith7391]

I love your videos, they’re full of useful info. Thank you and take care. 🤗

[@emilyopheim4942]

Thank you for this video and for showing people how simple and fun it is to ferment veggies. My husband and I love fermenting! It's so fun to experiment with different flavors- and chopping a lot of vegetables sure is therapeutic. My husband likes following recipes and measuring, but I'm like you in that I tend to feel and taste it out. Never had a bad batch yet!

[@anateal5601]

Great instruction, thanks. I am so glad I learned to cook and that I don’t have to depend on someone else. I especially love that little baby you have attached to you. Close to the food source and close to the beating heart.

[@lyndamadrid-miller695]

Wow! You’re absolutely incredible! My Mother canned when I was a lil’ girl. There were 11 children in my family. She did come from a farm in Colorado then moved to San Francisco, Ca. So, my Mom was just incredible and I was made her clothes plus I always made sure we had nutritious fresh fruits and vegetables. Because she did come from the farm she had so many resources she brought that knowledge with her to be so resourceful! You’re a wonderful role model to some of the young people. God bless you and keep up the good work!🤗💪👏🏆🙏

[@kristyburroughs2267]

Great job! Your voice is soo very pleasant to listen to and you always have great knowledge to share. Thank you 🙏🏼😀🌻💕

[@ena2613]

Hey, in my country making pikles is something very very common, so here as a weight to keep your vegetable down we use fine branches of sour cherry in an x. Our most popular ones are small cucumbers named cornishon around here, or just any, add mustard seeds to The jar, 1 bay leaf, pepper seeds, garlic, dried dill flowers. U pour the salted water just The same and make sure everything is under water. Another great one is to combine cauliflower with slices of carrots.. and here often homemaker ladies make them look really pretty, which is not hard and quite fun to do with a bit older kids. Pickled cabbage is something that here is usually made whole in big plastic barrels that can Take 10 cabbages. But that makes it more difficult to handle. One of The reasons is that we use the cabbage leaves to make "sarma" which is a mixture of pork meat, Rice and condiments rolled in the pikled cabbage leaves. Enjoy making pickles everyone! 🥰

[@lawanahaney7687]

[@stacywhaley2263]

@A D we don't eat it with every meal. I have a small kitchen and no room in my fridge lol. Id like to get to that point. My youngest aren't huge fans of it but I like pickles so I'm hoping to be successful next time so they can get some fermented veggies. Im also intrigued by carrots ❤

[@theclevercricket6187]

I live in a tiny 2 bed apt so we cant have chickens :( BUT we can have a starter and a a mill at one point. These are great skills to have and I feel every one should learn.

Lisa, I made the fermented salsa and it was amazing! My husband and I devoured it, my kids don't like tomatoes so they are missing out!! I now have 3 jars of salsa fermenting and I'm going to do carrots next. Thank you so much =)

[@Philtabit49]

I'm interested in your fermented salsa recipe. Could you share? TIA....

[@katesemple555]

I've been wanting to start, I got pickle pipes but don't have weights or wide mouth mason jars so I thought I needed to wait until I could go buy jars, but after seeing this video I know I have at least what I need to try fermenting the head of cauliflower sitting in my crisper!
