My husband and I have been growing our food for over 50 years and we grow food for a year.. We were called hippies, then homesteaders, then hoarders and now preppers.

[@carolynmoody9460]

I can relate 😂🎉🎉🎉

[@liorajimenez3085]

The PROPER moniker for you is WISE.

[@jesterlead]

Nobody that's ever had a garden, had to hoe, shell beans / peas, can, till, compost, or seed / harvest would make the "hoarding" comment. It's real work for a "maybe" harvest.

[@julieliner1498]

Right?!?!? Same for me... And I just laugh😂

[@MarciPrice-cl6eq]

Amen!

[@rebeccadutoit3803]

Never, ever explain yourself to people. You do not need to. You do what is good for you and your family. It's utterly beautiful. Haters will hate. Trolls will troll. Shrug your shoulders and move on, they are no body. So long as you feed you and yours. Your videos are humble, beautiful, calming and so realistic. You care not pointing out what doesn't work ! Beautiful people. Simple.

[@morethanfarmers]

Thank you!

[@sallyvernon2375]

I assume someone suggested you're hoarding or that you should give your pantry food away, so many clueless and ignorant people. The amount of time, money and energy required to do what your family does to grow the bulk of your own food, including owning and maintaining the land and equipment is an incredible commitment. God Bless

[@rosa.athome]

Having a working pantry with a year's supply of food to feed your household is definitely not hoarding. In fact, when we're in times of emergency; such as storms, it relieves the pressure from the supermarkets and helps make things available for those who aren't able to keep this amount of food in their apartments or homes. I see comments across several channels from people that expect families who grow their own food or raise their own meat animals to just donate the majority of it but never turn the question onto themselves, "what are they doing to make a difference in their own community??"

[@andy38andrews96]

At the age of 86, I never ceased to be amazed at the stupidity of a lot of people!

[@DorothyBaker-tg1lk]

You’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing! Taking care of your family! Those people that are complaining are what’s wrong with the world! Fantastic job guys!!!

[@sandywetzel3383]

What you do is not hoarding. You are using it to provide and take care of your family. You are doing a good thing.

[@catracampolieto8989]

2020 changed me. I was stressed, took a month off from work, no pay. I tried to garden in buckets. I absolutely knew nothing. I failed. So I made a plan to be successful. Made raisedbeds and still had buckets. I watched so many KZbin videos. Read so much information I felt like I was back in school. Learned how to pressure and waterbath can. Your not hoarding. You grew all of those wonderful veggies and meats. Thank you for another awesome video.❤❤❤

[@morethanfarmers]

Wow good for you! That’s awesome!😊

[@kdonor]

Similar, here, except I work in healthcare and it was so stressful. And my husband would text me from the grocery store saying "no flour, no oil" etc so I resolved that when stores were fully stocked, I'd build up a better pantry for my family. Then in 2021 I learned how to water bath and pressure can.

[@pamelachappell1089]

All I can say is, "WOW"! I watched y'all as you planted, harvested, and put up your food, but how fun to see it all together. You must get a smile on your face each time you go down into your basement. What a blessing to have that food for your family and what a blessing you all are to me as I follow along with you.

[@elizabethmercy8444]

If I may ask a question, who in the world thinks you are hoarding? My lord people have fallen out of their tree. Y'all are smart, prepared, responsible adults/parents. I think it's beautiful and fascinating. I have learned so much from y'all. I don't have to tell you to rock on and ignore, your video speaks for itself. Y'all are awesome God speed!!!!

[@anitacolotto9282]

I’m new to the concept of homesteading. ⭐️✨⭐️ I find channels like yours soothing. No fears, just folks who have a dream of having their hands and passions focused on knowing where their food comes from, how it is cultivated and the art involved in creating something unique to each farmer/grower. It is absolutely magical ⭐️✨⭐️

[@Dalcar.avotreestudio]

Hi Michelle. Been looking forward to this video. What you are doing is really responsible. Growing your own food and supporting local farmers. And taking care of your family and yourself. If anyone accuses you of hoarding I'd think they don't see the full picture. Keep going, you're doing great. Blessings to you and family.

[@morethanfarmers]

Thank you!😊

[@We-Fly-Soon_Sister]

You did a wonderful job canning the food for your family this year you planted a wonderful garden and I really love it to watch your channel because it makes me happy to see the hard work that you do to make your family happy. I'm an old woman now and if I could get out there and do the things you do I would love to. And I love that your husband and children work beside you too you're doing a wonderful job young lady keep up the good work sweetheart

[@farmgirlzz2319]

I don’t think that anyone can consider you putting up your own food hoarding. I think of hoarding as someone going to the store and buying more than their family can eat through without it going bad. Preserving food we grow for our family is how we take care of our own families and families have done for generations.

[@chrisr4932]

Whether a person buys it at the store or grows it in their garden, it doesn't matter (aside from the fact that it's healthier from your garden). It's food. Hoarding is collecting things you'll never use. Everything else is being prepared to sustain, care for, and feed your family for a lengthy amount of time. It saves time, money, worry, and effort in the long run. Her comment about the reliability of modern grocery stores was dumb. Just-in-time-delivery is unreliable. Every food industry exec will tell you this, and some have admitted it. It doesn't take much to disrupt supply chains. So stock a room with TP if you want. You'll use it eventually.

[@kellygreen8255]

I just have the GREATEST respect and admiration for your family. Y’all are literally ( although I’m so sick of that word, but it’s applicable here) living the dream, and the way my grandparents lived. Yeah, I’m in my sixties, so… I can remember from being a small child what their lives looked like…and it’s you. Kudos to ya!

[@ajrichardson3871]

Your cellar is so thoughtfully planned out and the skills you have are extraordinary for a young couple. Your kids will be so thankful when they grow up. I so wish we could have a cellar. In AZ, they are few and far between to find. So proud of both of you! 🎉

[@morethanfarmers]

Thank you!

[@barbeewear4240]

Thank you for your message on the benefit of supporting community, the love of gardening and homesteading skills for a healthier life vs. fear and doomsday prepping. I agree I enjoy the satisfaction of gardening and raising healthier food for the coming year in my retirement years.

[@jennyegan6539]

Thank you for sharing bulk food storage! The bucket section, herb drying rack, etc. Love all the tips!!

[@maryegerton6848]

I am so glad that you aren’t fear mongering people. I love everything about you guys. You both make me feel like I can accomplish a lot of things on my one little acre. 😊 I always feel so happy after watching you guys. I can’t wait for the cooking videos. Peace and love to you and your crew❤

[@morethanfarmers]

Thank you! Glad to hear that!😊

[@happyheartgardening]

Watching your videos DO excite me and I have learned so much for storing our OWN food. So we appreciate you both more than you know.

[@user-hz7kv6js6l]

I agree with you about storing enough food to feed your family over 1 to 2 years. God wants us to prepare to feed our families. What a wonderful harvest.

[@jacki6301]

Wow, thats a lot of work! You all did a great job with your food supply that keeps your family healthy. Its the lifestyle all our grandparents grew up in. Its not hording, it is preperation.

[@Pat2317]

Great video! My wife and I do the same as you guys. Been doing it for 15 years. Our families did it as well. It’s not “hoarding” or “prepping” it’s just country living. We have the ground, so our theory is why buy it when we could just grow it, and what we can’t grow we just buy in bulk and store it in the cellar. It’s more work, but it’s a life that we get to share with our kids to spend time with them. It also saves us money (the biggest reason we do it) and it saves my wife from having to stop at the grocery store everyday to “pick up something” which is super annoying to us lol. You guys are great, our family really enjoys your channel. Take care!

[@LisaNeuman-m2p]

As a fellow gardener, I know how much work goes into planting and nurturing your crops, I also preserve as much as I can (😂) for winter, it is very rewarding to know where your food comes from and also how it was grown. To me it is priceless. This modern day belief in going to the store and paying for your food as the “ right” way to do things is not how I want to live. I would much rather be the old fashioned person who relies on my own efforts to feed my family. Love your videos, I look forward to each one! Keep up the good work. If other folks want to work for money to buy their food, that is their choice, I wouldn’t worry about their opinion, you are growing fantastic food for your family!

[@dollyperry3020]

I very much appreciate your attitude about prepping. I unsubscribed from many channels because of the fear-mongering messages they were sending!

[@NashRambler]

I agree with you, plus my time is precious and I’m not going to spend it watching videos that don’t add anything to my life or knowledge.

[@MNTNSTARZ80.]

I've been canning and preserving for over 50 years and even though I don't necessarily like the heat or the time spent preparing things I feel accomplished because I'm ensuring that my family is well fed even when funds are short.

[@rebeccawoodbixler9536]

Thank you for addressing the “prepper” lifestyle. I enjoy your channel because y’all are positive, practical and encouraging not using fear to teach and share. I won’t name a couple rather “famous” channels that have been bragging about how they were prepared even though the flood came through. They were blessed their stored food wasn’t washed away. Community is important in so many ways. Thank you.❤

[@hurdlingforthehomestead9506]

BEAUTIFUL!! You should be proud 😃 This is not hoarding. You are taking care of your Family with real food, healthy foods. This is how it should be. Love your videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@FranklyFranky]

I love how gracefully you show your kids but keep there faces out of it and don’t make a big deal out of it 🎉🎉🎉

[@HSmith-rn7fq]

I am not ready to be tired of the two of you. I hope you are standing by. I can't believe how humanely human you both are and how you share your outlooks and philosophies that just happen to not demonize others. Your community of those who gotcho back is far and wide. We care because you care.

[@meturns4666]

I found your channel a little time back , and love it . I just wanted to say how impressive you both are , your lifestyle and family values are to be highly admired , im slowly learning and moving in your direction , im a 60y/o Australian grandfather who hopes can teach my grandchildren the practices you adhere to. Much respect and best wishes to your family , stay warm and safe with the upcoming winter , from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺.

[@karencovington9960]

I love your well stocked basement pantry and cold room! Taking care of and providing for your family is what we are called to do. It’s being responsible and also you are passing wonderful information and values to your children…..the greatest calling. God bless!

You are such a lovely family! And extremely hard working! I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos!

[@morethanfarmers]

Thank you so much!

[@ericcawith2cs11]

A years worth of food for a family of 6 is a huge accomplishment! Well done. We are working toward this in our home. We've moved too often to make it work the last 5 years. We tried to, but struggled. Your message is so encouraging. I always feel uplifted by your videos and your honesty about choosing to do things your ow way rather than the "perfect way" ( i.e. the flour vs grinding your own) is refreshing. Momma has to choose peace and mental health over "perfect" sometimes.

[@abigailbudan6485]

Love your approach to all of this without fear! I’m always so empowered and motivated to learn and expand my capabilities using what I have to feed my family after watching your videos. Keep up the amazing work!

[@sharonwittmayer1221]

Agree with you about the difference between hoarding and prepared to keep our families fed. And we can also be ready to give and share with the community around us when they are in need.

[@lorensingleton4002]

Michelle absolutely glowing talking about her teas 🙏 ✨️

[@champagnemommy]

I wonder if you could make like a pumpkin bread, but instead use the butternut squash versus pumpkin. Maybe the kids would like that. Add some chocolate chips.! 😮❤

[@morethanfarmers]

That’s a great idea!😊

[@kezru1581]

Pumpkin chocolate chip bread. Yum

[@mariannemerciecaful]

Have you ever tried butternut squash soup? My kids and grandchild really loved it. The trick is: cut the butternut squash in half and roast it in the oven, cut side up with a little oil. In the meantime, fry onions, garlic, carrots and potatoes, and, if you prefer some bacon. Add chicken or beef broth. Check for seasonings. Let the soup cook on a low heat. When the roasted squash is cooled, scoop into the soup. Blend everything and serve with some cream or croutons. Hope you try it and like it.

[@user-fd1qb7ml2j]

Again you both amaze me! You are so smart and hardworking. I do not think for one minute you two are hoarders! If anyone says that they have no knowledge at all. Its obvious to me you both were raised in homes who lived naturally and lived off the land. You are right, the way you live is how in the olden days they lived. Back in time people grew their own food, had their farm animals and preserved food because that's the way life was. Its still the best way to live! You take care if your children so well, the atmosphere and the ethics you teach your children is awesome. The love of family, the love if God and the love for God, and a little hard work! You can take care of your family forever with the lord! I am very proud of you both and I have learned alot from you both. Thanks Michelle for the advice on storing carrots in the fridge. Mine are doing fine in the zip lock bags I just wipe out the condensation every now and then. I also order from Azure they are the best, and I enjoy making new friends that live the same life style as we all are living. I just shared some sourdough starter with a nice lady. I again enjoy all you share! Good luck you two and God bless you and your children!❤❤❤

[@miriammarquez4061]

@Morethanfarmers Michelle, Quick tip: for those small packages f flours you order at Azure, just put them in 1/2 gallon jars and vacuum seal them so they last longer and are free from pest.

[@islandgrl7346]

Thank you for sharing your pantry and cold storage area. You are an inspiration and have become one of my favorite homesteading channels. You also are one of the few homesteaders who don’t have a freeze dryer and I’m so glad! I find it uninspiring to watch channels promoting a certain freeze dryer which has been gifted to them by the company. Freeze dryers are expensive, take up a lot of space and prone to breaking down. Thanks for being real. ❤️

[@SpecialGardens]

You guys never fail to inspire lol your house is huge btw ..and the switch from eggs for carrots 😆 awesomeness, I love it. Them sauces 😍 ..really shows your dedication and creativity!! happy holidays folks stay smiling from 😁CT!

[@ceedee2570]

you are taking care of your family's needs, not a hoarder. you can't grow year round in your climate, so grow, preserve and store. each year we try to do a bit more. you are a positive example in my life, thank you.

[@mrs.broccoli4362]

Thank you for the interesting video. Your storage cellars remind me of when my children were little and we needed a lot of space for supplies. It gave me a good feeling over 40 years ago to have enough food for my family of 7. Nobody has to justify themselves if they take responsible care of their family. I'm really enjoying this video and I realize that I need to organize my pantry more neatly. Thank you Michelle for your input. Happy new week to you, God bless you

[@sallydeslandes7990]

Wow! What a team and what a basement! Congratulations for all you have grown, stored and organised. Absolutely amazing.

[@bossrogulz]

My wife always says hey they already uploaded a new video whenever I'm busy with something 😅 she knows that I really love watching your videos because she knows I'm learning so much from you guys 🥰

[@NashRambler]

I know people who think that having more than one week of food, etc is hoarding. Ridiculous. We started to grow food to get away from chemicals that were affecting our health. I’ve learned you can’t rely on having a good harvest each year. The sun killed several dozens of plants this year. It’s much more cost efficient to buy in bulk if that works for your family. We love your channel and Azure Standard.

[@bigtimetylersbigtimeshow4540]

I wanted to share that I thought I had a gluten intolerance and did some extensive testing. Turns out it was oats. Just wanted to share because I didn’t even know that was an allergen. Y’all have been so inspiring for me and my family. Just getting started. Bees, trees and chicken tractors next year. lol Keep it up! Love the content.

[@EmbracethechaosPortugal]

We've not found any bulk buy places here in Portugal, this is the one thing I'm envious of with you lovely American homesteaders..here there is one website you can buy bulky items but it's a different person and place for each item.

[@heatherjolly8389]

The message you present every video is so spot on and encouraging

[@lisagrafton2529]

I always put my bulk flour in the freezer for a week or more, to kill any bug eggs that may be getting ready to hatch! Several years ago we had a problem with those little moth type bugs. They came into our house in the bulk flour and cereal no one was eat! I also make sure to empty my containers, before I fill them up, putting new product in the bottom of the container, and I put the older stuff on top, to use first!

[@michellejaggard9657]

Most of us that use the screw on lids use them because we don't have the strength in our fingers or wrist to get the other type lids you are showing off and on. For me, I am 71, They screw on lids have been a life saver. Yes they are more expensive but sometimes we just don't a choise. I'm sure if I was younger or had a "fit" friend that could help me out I would just use the regular lids. I even keep my dogs food in one to make it easy to feed her. And 2 years ago when I had chickens I kept their food in them (using the screw on lids) I watch your videos all the time. I love them. I am so proud of all the food you put up this year it looks beautiful. I am so proud of your efforts and work ethics. You are a strong beautiful, young fami;y. Many blessings to you. Lovely chi;dren also. I have an Idea for you. I bought a Glutton free cookbook form "living on a dime" It is wonderful! I Promise. The Glutton free flour she reccomends is the one from Walmart, their store brand. If you cannot afford the cookbook let me know and I will buy it and send it to you. It is not hording. It is food you grew yourself for the reasonof feeding your family. It wasn't free! you worked a job for it. It is saving you money for the winter months of the year. Block people that you feel you have to explain yourselves to. It is also your channel.

[@Redmapleleaf113]

I have always been a "stocker upper" and especially for things that are shelf stable AND come on sale. In 2020 when so many were suffering the "great toilet paper shortage", I just sat back and watched the frenzy.

[@buckeyedav1]

Same here. When we started hearing on the news about TP shortage my husband looked at me and I said "We're good". I didn't have massive amounts but certainly enough till it calmed down plus I had made cloth TP long before the term shortages ever came out I learned about it on a frugal living channel so I had that as a back up plan for myself.. we females use a lot more than the guys do. Anna In Ohio

[@Redmapleleaf113]

@@buckeyedav1 That you mention "cloth TP". A nurse once told me that women should NEVER use TP because of all the chemicals in it and our body structure (the short passage to our bladders). I think we women would be doing ourselves a favor by using this cloth TP that you speak of. And because women use more TP than men, we're exposed a lot more to all these chemicals.

[@Cody_Ramer]

There wasn't even a shortage of tp, there was a shortage of personal tp, but business tp was overflowing.

[@tanisha8902]

Hello, love your videos. Here is a tip for you, add the mashed butternut squash to waffle and pancake mix, toss in some cinnamon and the kids might love it like that my family loves it this way. I like it also with a dash of ground ginger and cloves. The whole house smells delicious.

[@vonniemerriam974]

I get all my food grade buckets with lids for free from the bakery dept of our local grocery chain. They originally held doughs, batters and icings and a simple wash and dry is all that's necessary. I use them for dry goods storage, pet feed and even for tapping maple trees in Feb for making my own NY Maple Syrup. And who doesn't love free?

I love your videos and appreciate your homesteading advice. I recommend trying the gluten-free diet for a couple of months.

[@swampfoxtactics7720]

I am inspired and encouraged to keep up all my efforts to grow and preserve my family's food. I am grateful for your honesty in the joys and struggles that come with these pursuits. I did invest in a freeze dryer 2 years ago because I really dislike canning in the summer and running multiple freezers years round in Northern CA, at 51 cents a kwh, is unaffordable. We also loose power frequently in the winter because of storms. I am very grateful for freeze drying technology and how the nutrients of our produce is preserved perfectly. Freeze dried garlic mashed potatoes are our favorite item to have on hand, as well as freeze dried dairy products.

[@bossmama7069]

You and your family have spent a crazy amount of time and hard work making sure your food is not wasted , is rotated, stored correctly and you are cooking healthy meals for your family. That is how it should be! Tracking what you need for the year is just great stewardship. You are a great role model to follow. Definitely NOT hoarding. Totally different.

[@MichaelGawesebmainone]

You are very well prepared and definitely not hoarders in my opinion. I have a freeze dryer (had it for about 10 years now) and I cannot tell you how much food and money I saved. Well worth it in my opinion. A freeze dryers takes up way less space than anyone of your freezers and it isn't too expensive to run but to each their own.

If you want to get carrots that have become soft and wilty back into crisp condition, immerse them into water in half gallon Mason jars and place those jars into the fridge.

[@Heartofahomesteader]

I always enjoy your straightforward approach! I think it is fantastic that you are able to grow so much of your own food, and store it like those only a couple of generations back. I wish I had joined the homesteading movement much sooner, as now due to back issues there is a lot that I am unable to do. But I can do some things, and I will keep trying to see what works best. Still so jealous of your raspberries...they are my favorite! Keep up the good work, good people!

[@mirandahermes2554]

I use to struggle with gut health and IBS and a little bit of gluten stuff and then I started eating mushrooms and mushroom foraging and it all just disseapeared. Not sure if they even correlate. But Ohio is increible for mushroom growing and foraging! ;) more free good. Teach you kids not to be afraid of mushrooms!

[@amossymindset]

There are two gluten-free cookbooks from The Loopy Whisk that are truly fantastic!

[@sunangel-rivka]

Yes, this! ⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️ Especially the first book;, the second one is too techy and nerdy for me. I just want recipes so i can get out of the kitchen. 😂 Having to be gluten-free is harder than keeping kosher, being vegetarian or anything else I do, diet-wise. There's wheat in everything. I can't do oats either, which narrows the choices even more. 😢

[@gpswatching]

Thanks for the pantry storage tour. We eat soup about three times a week, sick or well. I love butternut squash soup, non dairy potato soup, hamburger stew, Zuppa Tuscano, fiesta chicken, ham and bean, lentil, split pea, taco soup, and more. These get us through the fall and winter.

I love the humor between you guys.😂 I also agree with you about the dooms about prepping. I want to do it for health and self sufficient reasons ❤❤

[@beaniecat1980]

It has to be so rewarding and satisfying to see your pantry full after all of your hard work this year. 😊 I hope to one day be as successful as you. I am still learning.😊

You may want to look into a dehumidifier for the root vegetable room. We have to have one in our basement and it does make it significantly cooler

just a tip: i have a coolbot with a window a/c unit in an interior basement room. the unit exhausts into another room and it works perfect. we built it out in 2021 and have had zero issues.

Just a thought to use up some of your salsa, put some in your chili when you make it. It has many of the same flavors and saves having to dice up peppers and onions. I do this all the time.

Great idea!

I use Salsa in my vegetable soups and Chili.. sadly this year my tomatoes didn't do that well and they mislabeled 3 of the tomato plants I got from the nursery they were Cherry Tomatoes but I have enjoyed them immensely in salads and surprisingly even after having a frost they are still growing out in my garden. Not enough of them ripened at the same time to make a salsa with them. Anna In Ohio

Good tour you two! All three sermons were spot on! Growing food and preserving the bounty was a way of life for decades - long before things were made commercially. And when you are relying on that food, preserving that bounty is important to ensure that you have even if you should have a crop failure. My sister is gluten intolerant but she has recently discovered cold long ferment sourdough and is able to eat it. In the meantime, the gluten free flour can be very good - I bake with it as well even though I can eat gluten Good video -If you made that bed frame Codi, good job!
