FULL Homestead PANTRY TOUR | Our Supply of Food! (2024) Family of 5!

[@sarahpeartart]

So proud of you, Amber! I've been following you since Indie was a baby and it's wonderful to see how far you've come and how well you're doing!! ❤❤❤

[@FairlyRooted]

Thank you for being here! It's been a journey haha!

[@whatheavensaid]

Same here! You rock, Amber! Much love to everyone here. ❤

[@hillarywattenbarger3203]

I’ve watched you for at least a decade now! You’ve come so far❤️

[@FairlyRooted]

Thank you so much for being here!

[@danamama6766]

Me too will follow her always :) She has taught me a lot and I am double her age and the same morals she has. 💕

[@erikamiles119]

I’ve missed these types of videos. I’ve followed you for a long time, since the great toilet paper debacle. Glad to see you’re doing well and living your dream!!!!

[@danamama6766]

Me too :)))

[@Pennep-xg8cz]

Everything looks straight out of a home and garden magazine- so chic, pretty, and stylish. I do not see the chaos you speak of, I just see abundance and a beautiful soft color palette. No wrappers, no boxes, hardly any plastic. Your pantry has a natural glow. I can see some onion rings, crispy onion topping, and butternut squash cookies in your future! Looking forward to more videos and all the lovely food you will prepare this winter. Thanks for sharing!

[@FairlyRooted]

Oh gosh, wow. Thank you, you are really too kind! And definitely lots of dehydrated onion and squash creations of all sorts in the future 🤣

[@janjentz1053]

I am a long time viewer too. What an amazing pantry. Your freezers are so full of goodness. I know for a long time, this is the life you wanted and you all are doing an amazing job on your homestead. I think the organized chaos is reality and really enjoyed seeing it all, Thanks for sharing.

[@FairlyRooted]

Thank you so much for being here! And thank you for your kindness 🤗❤️

[@geoffswoman]

Your pantry and house are visually beautiful! So many colours and textures - a veritable feast for the eyes (and the body). I appreciate the sheer magnitude of work you all put in. I look forward to the day you launch your own line of homemade salves and nostrums ☺

[@FairlyRooted]

Haha thank you!! ❤❤

[@kellyb7899]

I just think you are so incredible. I love how you think, how you take care of the environment, how you grow/harvest/store your own food and I think the lessons you and your husband are teaching your family are so invaluable. Love your videos. Thank you for sharing with us. Hope you're able to get a little R&R during the colder winter months. 💚

[@FairlyRooted]

Thank you so much! I hope so too!

[@amberlindo9560]

Been watching forever...just have to tell you that you have never looked so good! You have a glow about you and it is noticeable!

[@FairlyRooted]

Thank you, feeling a lot better these days!

[@Graykitty-j6q]

All that you have grown, it’s so exciting to see it all! You and Joe have to be so proud of yourselves with your haul…..kiddos too!

[@RachelRothLamaie]

The same thing you are doing with your zucchini you can do with pumpkins as well, dry them and grind them up - lots of protein 10/10. Amazing food storage, you’re an inspiration as always! Love you, Amber!

[@FairlyRooted]

Oh yes!! Thank you for the idea! But most likely we’ll eat those too fast 😂

[@theaeroponictowerchannel]

Living a prepared life is so smart.

[@hope4serenitykm]

I think it’s beautiful how much food you were able to produce and put up for the winter.

[@FairlyRooted]

Thank you! ❤

[@kumarihansen9046]

I'm in Canada too... groceries are ridiculous. What I see is richness. RIchness in food, health and love. I love your shelves. And all your squash! 😮 😊

[@FairlyRooted]

Aw thank you!!

[@debbiealtman5373]

You young lady have a great pantry. That hutch is beautiful to me. I like stuff like that. You’re doing great work at stocking up on stuff. I’m 61 years old and I see some young people who have pantries and some who could care less

[@FairlyRooted]

Thank you so much! That really means a lot to me. I love that you appreciate the pantry and the hutch-it’s so nice to hear from someone with so much experience. It’s true, not everyone prioritizes stocking up, but I think it’s such a valuable habit. Thank you for your kind words and encouragement! 😊

[@laurenj.5312]

Your skin is so pretty. I've been around since your getting out of debt days. It was so inspirational then as well as now

[@FairlyRooted]

Thank you so much!

[@nancyperry9166]

Love it!! You have a working and functioning kitchen and pantry! You keep me inspired!!

[@madzabinga8382]

Yahoo! What a glorious tour. I am proud of you all and all your hard work. Don't forget to ferment some of your garlic in honey for cold and flu season 😊 Thanks for showing us everything!!

[@FairlyRooted]

Every year I do! I have some from 3 years ago that is especially potent! :D

[@janew5351]

I ferment garlic and unpasteurized honey , very useful!

[@Kayyyyy-o5m]

I admire this soooo much. Wow so much work went into this!!! Incredible for your family, the planet, your wallet and your health. I live in Ontario too and totally understand that it would be worth it🎉

[@FairlyRooted]

Thank you so much!! It’s definitely worth it! ❤

[@hillarywattenbarger3203]

Idk what are you doing differently, but you look so radiant and healthy!!❤️

[@FairlyRooted]

Thank you!!

[@juliagrummel8884]

would love more content on why you choose dehydrator over a freeze-dryer! so interesting!

[@FairlyRooted]

Will definitely make that video!

[@Stormy-14-]

I’m also a long time viewer, you are living your dream and I am so happy for you and your family, great pantry, even with the obstacles you faced this year you did amazing👍👍❤️❤️

[@FairlyRooted]

Thank you so much!!

[@litheanne1563]

It's amazing how you and your family have blossomed and grown. I started following you before your third child was born.

[@stschubs]

freeze dryer was one of the best things we got! Beiing able to freeze dry instant meals, broth, soups, it's amazing! All summer we run both our exhalibur and our FDer

[@ldfifer]

Ooh, I want the video on why you don't want a freeze dryer.

[@FairlyRooted]

Will do!

[@iancampbell168]

Such an impressive pantry! You are a true inspiration to us all! You should be so proud of all you’ve done this year! 😊 I started following shortly before you moved to this old farm….i have loved everything you’ve done thus far and am always in awe! You all work so hard! ✌🏼 -several years ago I had a community garden plot and planted a ton of lavender in it…I ended up having so much I would make lavender syrup and bottle it up for everyone that was part of this community garden…one day I would love to be on a level like you!🌱

[@1940sDream]

I admire your hard work. I am older with bad asthma & other health issues, which make me tired, plus an empath, so my job with many kids wears me out, but I try to grow a little & preserve a little. Love the tile floor and enjoyed your tour. Thank you, take care.

[@myramyraUSA]

Nice to see you again and looking so healthy. I’ve watched you years ago. Great work that you’re doing for your family.

[@alittlesouthwindfarm3074]

Wow! Look at you guys rocking homesteading and farming! Great job!

[@K8C191]

Great information, thanks for sharing 😊 I learn so much when I watch your videos ❤

[@FairlyRooted]

I'm so glad! Thank you for watching!

[@GertaYertaandKnut]

It's a relief to hear someone else also thinks calendula tastes awful, haha- all the books I've read are like "use it in salads..." No thanks, just skincare for me and the occasional blossom to make my tea look pretty. Thanks for the inspiring pantry tour!

[@laurenj.5312]

We make lotion with it too because it's so gross.

[@frugalsweetlife3427]

Klasse wie ihr das alles so macht und auch schafft !!!!

[@FairlyRooted]

Thank you!! Lots of work haha

[@piperperkins5485]

Can I move in with you please lol! Your home is so beautiful. 🤩 you are too. Inside and out. 😊

[@FairlyRooted]

Oh gosh thank you!!

[@PegsGarden]

I love that you have your food storage everywhere, that is amazing, really enjoyed this video Amber 💞

[@FairlyRooted]

haha a bit chaotic, but it's what fits the space for us! Thank you!

[@noemilambert1412]

😮 I would love to be a guest in your house just to eat whatever you create with all this 👏🏼😂 looks amazing!!!!!!! I love it!

[@danamama6766]

Oh MY gosh Amber sweetie!!!!!!! Blown away. hugs and luv as always.

[@AbbyAndAlbit]

Wow amber what can I say. You should be so proud of yourself for what you have done and what you are doing ❤️ I have watched you for years and your just blossoming. Your hair is also looking gorgeous ❤❤❤

[@Ash060786]

Or maybe we look at it all and think, wow that's all amazing!!!!!!

[@FairlyRooted]

Haha you are too kind! Thank you, truly.

[@Irene-fc2iw]

chicken feet is an amazing ingredient to make broth too :-) a lot of collagen, minerals, calcium and phosphorous, and nice stuff that is so good for your body and bones 🤍 i think it's very fulfilling to make use of as much parts of the animal as possible, and in that way honoring their life. i've been following you for so many years, (since i was 17, now i'm 23) and i think you're so cool amber, you're one of my biggest inspirations to live a more intentional life. never stop bringing light to others!

[@FairlyRooted]

Very true! And thank you so much for being here, you are too kind, it’s been a journey!

[@ingweking8748]

You can put beans in a pillow case and hit them to ground. It is much easier.

[@FairlyRooted]

We step on them, it makes it faster, but I pay try your pillowcase trick next year!

[@ronkeanimashaun156]

You have come a long way. Hope your health is getting better. Love your posts ❤❤❤❤❤

[@juliagad]

Your pantry is amazing! Really inspiring me to grow more squash next year! 😂

[@FairlyRooted]

Thank you so much! That makes me so happy to hear! Squash is such a great crop to grow, and it stores really well too. I’m sure you’ll have a great harvest next year. 😊

[@MaryAnnNute]

LOVE LOVE LOVE your pantry tour. Squash are amazing. All fruits of your labor. I love you and your family's enthusiasm.

[@FairlyRooted]

Thank you so much!

[@michelea8129]

Amazing, Amber!!!!!

[@FairlyRooted]

Oh gosh, thank you ❤

[@KatherineMcG]

It is amazing what you have accomplished this year!

[@FairlyRooted]

Thank you!!

[@SuperAbcdabcdabcdabc]

Hello from PEI. We moved from Ontario 8 years ago, from a concrete world to green peaceful farm.

[@phillippinter7518]

I agree with the thing about edible flowers, like orange peels and carrot tops. I'm not a picky eater, I think beet greens, radish tops and turnip tops are delicious

[@lindaharshman4228]

I love it! Thank you for sharing!❤ Not once did I have the thought that it looks unorganized. Just looks like you are prepared and in the process of doing what you love. Carry on! 🤗

[@muchadoaboutsomething]

I love those recycled jars! And thats how its done!

[@lenamarie2071]

Hey, have you ever tried making mushroom flour? You have enough of that dried Puffball to try!

[@FairlyRooted]

That’s exactly what I’ll be doing with it!

[@maryf1467]

You look and sound fabulous.

[@FairlyRooted]

Haha thank you, it’s been a long journey but I’m feeling better these days. ❤

[@amandamorris4033]

Fantastic!

[@FairlyRooted]

Many thanks!

[@karriemb4184]

That’s an awesome and amazing food pantry!! In every area !! Love it !! So impressed!!

[@FairlyRooted]

Oh gosh, thank you!!

[@nuxbeats43]

Loved the video!❤ Thank you for showing us your pantry, the house looks amazing, I would love to see some cooking videos! And loved the Croatia honey! Hugs from a small farm in Croatia 🥰

[@UrbanWhiteBuffaloFarm]

Hello Amber, I am so thrilled to see just how much you get accomplished. What a great way to serve your family with your spirit and love, Take care bye for now, Steven

[@silviamagda]

I am really proud of your family. I am a long time subscriber as well. ❤

[@FairlyRooted]

Thank you so much!

[@melissawilliams4682]

What I see in this video is pure inspiration all around #goals ❤

[@deannafisher1887]

Amber, you have accomplished so much in your life!! You are so strong and beautiful and you have so much more energy than I'll ever have!! I started watching all your videos on Fairly Local and you have inspired me more then you'll ever know. You have a beautiful family and I have learned so much from you .Your gardens are wonderful and i try even harder to learn from you and your ideas about healthy cooking . You never give up and you inspire me so much in whatever you do!!🥰 You are a beautiful person inside snd out!!

[@FairlyRooted]

Thank you so much!!

[@stacyfredette260]

I love how you did this video just keeping it real and showing pretty much what my house looks like. It'd be great if you dif videos throughout TBE winter showing us what you eat.

[@TheyCallTheWindMariah]

Hey Amber!! Thanks for sharing! I love these types of videos! I have been watching since your dreadlock days 💚 you are so inspiring and I want to say thank you for what you do! One love from Minnesota, USA

[@DelaneyWaller-jj2zw]

So excited to have rediscovered you!!! You are part of my “KZbin University” to learn how to homestead.

[@FairlyRooted]

Aww thank you!! I hope I can share things that help your own journey!

[@kimhefley1683]

Wow, this is an amazing Pantry! And you weren't even at full health... I'm totally impressed! And inspired❤

[@elenjahimaa9422]

It all looks fantastic! Doing a great job! It is organized perfectly! Do not worry about people who have pinterest worthy pantries - they do not use them for what pantry is supposed to be used for. They use it to show off. You on the other hand have fully functioning pantry/freezer system going, and that is worth more than any pinterest worthy pantry could ever be!

[@FairlyRooted]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@tikaanderson8186]

My husband makes a mushroom, black pepper seasoning that we put on everything especially roasted potatoes

[@tammya236]

Can you please share the recipe? Thank you😁

[@theclumsyprepper]

I second the request for the recipe.

[@lanyrogers5707]

I look at your food storage and she, "you go girl." I don't see the mumble jumble or mess, I see a mama and papa preparing for the kiddos to have security. Blessings!

[@sharonjennings1282]

Your mushrooms and onions are the perfect reason for a freeze dryer! Peppers too. I used to dehydrate all but now love the freeze drying.

[@FairlyRooted]

Just didn't like freeze drying, much prefer dehydrating, canning and freezing!

[@racheldebasitis8184]

Damn, I loved this video! And I'm so glad you brought up your very-infused calendula oil. I have a quart jar of calendula oil that's a year old, and I was feeling guilty that I hadn't gotten around to doing anything with it, and I was wondering if it would even still be good to make into salve. I now have my answer!

[@margaretdavis81]

I love this video! Nice job on your hard work.

[@rricard]

So beautiful & inspirational! Thank you for sharing!

[@FairlyRooted]

Thank you so much!

[@VirginiaVS]

Really love this video, it helps me a lot!! And I admire that beautiful energy you have despite all the challenges you have had to overcome. A big hug for you and your family from Spain❤❤

[@FairlyRooted]

Thank you so much!! You are very kind.

[@silviamagda]

I loved this video. ❤This is my kind of living. ❤❤❤

[@courtnez]

Very cool- fellow Ontarian here :)

[@SkySpiral8]

I think the lips on your shelves are great safeguards against further concussions (more so than against the very localized and infrequent tornadoes)😉 Congrats on the amazing pantry “un-haul.”

[@petrakrog]

Ayy honey from Croatia😁😁Croatian follower here.🤗love your videos Amber,you are amazing!

[@melissawright4040]

That is awesome all the food you have preserved! And there is no need to explain why freezers look a certain way or why things are not put up yet. If you were dealing with health issues, being a mom and wife you did good doing what you have done

[@thedebbieadams]

You are amazing, great job

[@zabmcauley5647]

Wow Amber! This is seriously impressive period let alone while recovering from a TBI! Also you had me cackling with your INFUSED calendula oil. 😂 Infused! Thanks so much for sharing

[@FairlyRooted]

Haha thank you, you are very kind! 🤗❤️

[@whatheavensaid]

Are there certain fruits or veggies that we should cook before freezing? Thank you for all of your work to help the world! 💖🙏🏼💖

[@aoifetomkins9678]

Great video and your pantry is amazing. You did so much this year, well done! You always give me great ideas of things to try out. Completely off topic but your plait is unreal! I have thick hair but I'm a bit jealous 😂

[@FairlyRooted]

Oh wow thank you 🤣 I do have a lot of hair! 😆

[@christinad132]

It’s unbelievable all that u did with a TBI! I can’t imagine what you would of done without the TBI. It’s crazy, u did A TON! Very impressive. Food prices are through the roof everywhere and I’m curious what you spent at the store in one year, knowing you I’m sure it was a very low amount due to all the great deals you found. The .30 cent jar of pickles you got was worth it just for the jar itself! Great video👍🌻

[@nancyfitzsimmons7462]

They're high in New Brunswick also that is why so many people are going to food banks and soup kitchens

[@rebeccawatson9284]

Great work!

[@FairlyRooted]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jessicakullander8517]

Those greenish spaghetti squashes look cross pollinated with zucchini. Happened a few times in my dad's garden. Still tasted like spaghetti squash!

[@FairlyRooted]

Still tastes like spaghetti squash here too!

[@magomago7819]

You said 4 degrees???? And no jacket???? You are awesome, I freeze at 55 degrees😂😂😂.

[@FairlyRooted]

Canadian summer 🤣 Jokes, it’s been colder than this and so today was a warm day. Weather is flip flopping, it was 8 the other day!

[@tarrameadows1750]

Hey girlie just a quick tip on shelling those beans. Put them in an old pillow case and whack them on a hard surface. Beans fall to the bottom.❤❤Hope this helps and saves you some time and also your fingers!!

[@FairlyRooted]

I found another way, I stomp on them now 🤣

[@aoifetomkins9678]

Great tip, why didn't I think of this!

[@Jmmgemini]

Also for your dehydrated hot peppers...if you ever need to get rid of them bc you arent going theough quickly enough, its great to give to chickens as a preventative dewormer and keeps mice out of their food. :)

[@alittleheavenonearth]

So inspiring gf. Keep at it. Dont need to justify what you love to do. Your mess isn't pps mess. Soon enough very soon people will be knocking at the crazy girls food storage house 😂😂😂😂😂 xoxo blessings 🙌

[@FairlyRooted]

Thank you so much!!

[@alittleheavenonearth]

@FairlyRooted kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5KWhpeHgpJ1jLMsi=4y02U_5yP43PSQg7 Came across this video!!! Im sure you will love it tooo so inspiring ❤️ just to know her age and what she's accomplished!!! What a beautiful thing. 😍

I LOVE THIS VIDEOS 😍😍 Thank you!!

[@FairlyRooted]

Aw thank you so much!! ☺️ ❤️

[@mandy6062]

Can you tell us how you make your body care products? I make my own whipped lotion and bars but curious what you do. Thanks!

[@FairlyRooted]

I may make some videos on the topic!!

[@savannahmoore6840]

Please do some more videos on the dehydrator, food you dehydrate, etc.

[@FairlyRooted]

Will do!

[@sandrarussell2549]

I would love to do what you do, I don’t know what a lot of things you forage are and would probably end up poisoning my family. I can and freeze and dehydrate the things I know and I’m trying to learn more , so I really enjoyed watching you and I subscribed to your channel. How did you get your concussion.

[@anonanon1982]

There’s a past video where she tells the story 😊

[@joanneniven342]

Amazing ❤🎉😮😊❤

[@sarahmarie2911]

25:44 I've always heard that freezing keeps all of the vitamins/minerals/nutrients and canning destroys pretty much all them

[@FairlyRooted]

I would semi-agree with that, heating food doesn’t destroy all the vitamins and minerals in the food, sometimes it can even release more for body absorption. Freezing is definitely better in my opinion, but when it comes to food storage I go all routes. I would rather do all the things than do only one.

[@sarahmarie2911]

@FairlyRooted oh yeah, I remember hearing that about carrots

[@FairlyRooted]

And tomatoes!

[@sarahmarie2911]

@@FairlyRooted oh cool! I didn't know that!

[@DianneRawGirl]

Cool Calendula pee water (Ha HA kidding).I used to make soaps lotions and stuff too.Your dehydrating though is out of this world awesome. Best to you.

[@hc3021]

Hi Amber, great video! Fellow Ontarian here. Do you have a favourite resource for either your foraging or homemade teamaking information? Any books to recommend? Thank you. ❤

[@FairlyRooted]

Hey there, fellow Ontarian! 😊 Thanks for watching! For foraging, one of my favorites is The Forager's Harvest by Samuel Thayer. It’s a good resource with clear details on identifying edible plants in North America. For homemade tea-making, I don't have a specific book... I just gin off gut feeling. Maybe I'll make a video about different teas I make?

[@hc3021]

@@FairlyRooted Thanks, I’ll check out that book. I think a few teamaking videos would be a great idea! 😊

[@monicaarias811]

Every time I watch your videos I’m inspired thank you for sharing! Also curious why you didn’t care for the freeze dryer?

[@FairlyRooted]

I’ll probably make a video explaining everything about that!

[@melsch8693]

You guys are amazing! Do you have a backup in case of a black out?

[@FairlyRooted]

We do, absolutely wouldn’t have this many freezers if we didn’t!

[@deborahrwafil1344]

Can i buy some of your hot pepper powder , it looks me so fun to try some of your stuf . Also ramps or some teas i never heared of and iam on the other side of the world but it looks so fun to try
