[@poodledaddles1091]

Wow, this is definitely the biggest and most diverse pantry too I’ve seen! You have worked so hard, good job!!!

[@ChapelHillForge]

Thank you!! ❤️❤️

[@vicki8042]

We like store bought beans and not home canned too! I'm glad to hear someone else say it

[@ChapelHillForge]

@@vicki8042 hahahaha I was scared to say it out loud!! 🤣

[@thriftyfarmishmomma]

I love watching pantry tours too! Yours is amazing!

[@ChapelHillForge]

Me too!!! I love seeing what everyone does with their spaces!!

[@thriftyfarmishmomma]

@@ChapelHillForge yes! I got some good ideas from your video too. Thanks for sharing!

[@ChapelHillForge]

@@thriftyfarmishmomma thank YOU for watching!! ❤️

[@brandybbdoll]

Very impressive! I'm happy to see that there are others out there who have preps/stockpiles on the larger side. My friends and family tend to make me feel a little crazy because of the size of my stockpile. It's nearly my entire basement. But hey, we're living in crazy times. I can't help it that they can't see it.

[@ChapelHillForge]

Absolutely agree!!! I love encouraging others to consider their family’s needs for a year or more because you just predict anything! Thanks for watching ❤️❤️

[@VagabondAnne]

Apple pepper relish sounds amazing!

[@ChapelHillForge]

It’s been an awesome way to bulk up meals like soup and chili!!

[@bettylongshore9594]

Goodness! What a great pantry!!!! You NEVER have to go to the grocery store!!!! This is an awesome pantry! We are working on getting there!!!!!!!

[@ChapelHillForge]

Thank you!!! It’s definitely something we’ve scaled over time, and I love continuing to learn and build!

[@BrendaJBarNett]

Thanks for the tour. I'm a pantry tour junky ❤ Been stocking for 40+ years and I'm always learning something new.

[@ChapelHillForge]

I am also a pantry tour junky!! 🤣❤️ It’s amazing how much we can learn from each other!!

[@lauram1145]

@@lauram1145 hahaha thanks so much!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Christen-G]

I bet that roasted pepper sauce would make a great soup - just add a little cream.

[@ChapelHillForge]

Yesssss!!

[@LindaASJ]

I use my pickled cabbage on brats and sausages, yum

[@ChapelHillForge]

Great idea!

[@2oreatha]

Right now it is pantry and laundry room….. you set the bar so high !!! Also would love seeing you make the mustard and a few other things !!! Loved the tour thank you !!

[@wendy3437]

Allot of 💚 green beans are 💙 blue lake 💚 green beans.

[@ChapelHillForge]

Ahhhh thank you!!

[@tinyacreshomestead]

Green beans: Do blue lake or Jade. They are stringless and the texture is like store bought. Add 1 tsp of salt to quarts.

[@ChapelHillForge]

Thank you!!! Yes stringless would be amazing!!!!

[@marieparks5674]

Blue lake green beans are great, I always used the bush beans a great pantry.

[@ChapelHillForge]

I need to get these seeds because that sounds like the winner for canning!! Thanks for commenting!

[@mariestar1823]

Amazing, impressive pantry! Thanks for sharing!

[@ChapelHillForge]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@lynnelewis9605]

Wow hun u have the biggest pantry I have seen.x

[@ChapelHillForge]

Great idea!

[@renalangstaff730]

Love the hanging cayene peppers. Did some last year for the first time

[@ChapelHillForge]

I am so pleased with how well they dried! I think I’ll pull some down to make seasoning!

[@mikalasimpson7789]

New here, great pantry. What is blessings of hope?

[@ChapelHillForge]

So in Lancaster, PA, you can volunteer at their organization, and then they give you a voucher to shop their store for 60 cents a pound. It’s a great place! Here’s some details: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5_NqaergtV9mbMsi=uFEOFkSb2bPMdR49 blessingsofhope.com/

[@BBQPITDOG]

Just an amazing pantry y'all have! So organized and diverse. Just wondering do you share, sell or just keep all of this? Nothing like I've ever seen! Take care!

[@ChapelHillForge]

Hey there! So we are feeding 6 people regularly. If we have friends stay over or our parents, more people to feed. At this point, we aren’t selling because we don’t have a licensed kitchen, but that is our goal!

[@wholenewperspective]

Wow, I loved this tour. You are so organized. Thanks for sharing.

[@ChapelHillForge]

Thanks for watching!! ❤️

[@wilmadickerson2025]

Amazing pantry! Our two favorite green beans to can are Roma (flat bean) and Jade.

[@ChapelHillForge]

Thank you!!!

[@judithgrace9850]

I use a closet for stockup

[@ChapelHillForge]

That’s perfect!

[@sherylh4780]

Nice tour and you presented very well. Nice steady pace of narration. I haven't seen dried green beans in about 50 years. I am from the West Coast and I had never heard them called leather britches. My ex mother-in-law from Virginia taught me to string them and I dried them hanging from the ceiling above the grate in the floor above the furnace in the basement. Dehydrated green beans. They made great cooked green beans. That was before I started canning way back then. Thank you for your tour.

[@ChapelHillForge]

Thanks for watching!!! I love that you have that memory!! ❤️❤️

[@KellyCooper-z7f]

Wow! Very nice. FYI. Lime from the cement floors will leach into your plastic containers on the floor.

[@amykell5687]

Mandy, I finally decided to start watching your videos. I'm really enjoying them. ❤

[@ChapelHillForge]

Thanks for watching!!! ❤️❤️

[@amykell5687]

Pray for me. I want to start my own blog and KZbin channel. I have been kicking it around since 2016. I am so insecure about committing. I did have a web domain, which I just surrendered this past summer. I have been struggling with my niche. I have so many interests that I can't slim it down.

[@ChapelHillForge]

@@amykell5687 that’s so awesome!!! Happy to answer questions as you grow and learn!

[@barb7014]

Thanks for sharing your amazing pantry; I love those blue barrels, wish I had access to and room for them. I think Spam is a great shelf stable product to have; I like to slice it thin and fry it crispy for a delicious sandwich. ❣️

[@ChapelHillForge]

We do, too!! The barrels are fantastic!! My parents use the smaller ones, but even buckets with gamma lids are so nice to have!

[@barb7014]

@@ChapelHillForge I use five gallon buckets with gamma lids too. Whoever invented them deserves an award.

I buy fresh pineapples when they are on sale and can them in chunks. They are fantastic and waaaay better than Dole. Wb canning. So delish. Your pantry is phenomenal!

[@leed3796]

Hi, first time watcher here! I love watching pantry/freezer/fridge tours. As soon as I heard your voice I knew you were from PA. (NJ here.) I went to your site and read your story and I want to follow along your journey so I just subscribed.

Also - I’ve loved Wednesday since I was a kid ❤️🙃

Damn girl call me impressed ❤ I love it!! You are a hard working woman much respect i would love to see you make pickled eggs and mustard

[@ChapelHillForge]

I definitely need to make a mustard video!!

[@poodlegirl55]

You are smart to can what you know your family likes and will eat. I also notice you say you didn't can much when you do a new recipe. Many people can tons of stuff just because and it stacks up.

[@ChapelHillForge]

Yes!! I really try to make sure that we can what I know we like!!

[@MyHumbleNest]

Look up a recipe for Blender wheat waffles. You will put whole wheat berries in the blender, nice way to use them and get them into your diet.

[@ChapelHillForge]

Ohhhh ok!! Thank you!! ❤️

[@charlottemcmullen1854]

Hello, fellow PA person! Your pantry's fantastic. Interested in your shelves. Where'd you get? Did you line them yourself?

[@ChapelHillForge]

Hi from PA!! So these are Husky brand shelves from Home Depot. We aren’t typically Home Depot fans, but these are excellent!! We like them with plywood! They aren’t cheap, but they are definitely worth it for the ease of use, and ability to organize!

[@margaretwest3588]

We love Spam.

[@ChapelHillForge]

Ha it does make a quick and yummy breakfast sandwich!!

[@thedirtyhoehomestead]

Wow❤ I'm showing my husband, this is my dream pantry. We add tomato or vegetable juice to dry beans when cooking a pot.

[@ChapelHillForge]

That’s a great idea!!

[@LindaASJ]

You may want to separate your onions away from your potatoes as onions make potatoes sprout

[@ChapelHillForge]

So I was testing keeping them on the top thinking the gases go up? If this doesn’t work well, though, I will definitely be moving them!

[@pamelacox6034]

Spam is good fried!

[@ChapelHillForge]

So yummy!!

[@denisewilson8367]

I hope you never are without power. You'd never be able to save all the things in your many fridges & freezers. Its good to be backed up but for me, I couldn't have that much bcuz with my luck the power would go off and never come back on. You've done a great job building up a great pantry. Very well done.

[@ChapelHillForge]

We have options for backup power, thankfully!

[@lf4061]

Frozen foods will keep each other at safe temperature for many days. Meat can be smoked, preserved in salt, et. She can also keep a supply of extra canning products and quickly can much of it. If summer, can set out in a mesh natural dehydrator. In the meantime, well prepared for not having to go out in bad weather, not having to worry about shortages, dealing with panicked buyers in more likely emergency situations, better health control of food for family, and just plain convenience and peace of mind; would make it all worthwhile to me. 😁

[@ChapelHillForge]

@@lf4061 yes!! Totally agree!! We always figure we can can, grill, salt cure, etc to get it handled quickly!! ❤️❤️

[@lf4061]

I would either consume right away or throw out milk and ice cream though if power goes out without backup power.

[@ChapelHillForge]

@@lf4061 totally agree!

I have a question. Isn’t it important to store products for your vehicle? I’m thinking that having oil, antifreeze and all of the fluids needed for a vehicle would be very important to have on hand. What happens if stores close or we are forced into a shft situation and our vehicles need maintenance? Just wondering why most prepped homesteaders don’t store products for vehicles maintenance. Thanks for your opinion.

[@ChapelHillForge]

Absolutely!!! This is all stuff we store in our garage/shop!

[@BostonBorn]

Would you mind sharing where you purchased the heavy duty shelving? We haven’t purchased a homestead yet so we don’t want anything permanent. TIA

[@ChapelHillForge]

Hi! So we’ve tested shelving pretty extensively lol. We do not like the Kobalt shelves from Lowes, but we love the Husky shelves from Home Depot!

Keep your table salt you have to have salt it's a important electrolyte they always put salt as the bad guy when you have high blood pressure or heart attacks but the point is controlling the amount of salt, plus table salt usually has iodine which is important to control goiter I have had heart attack, worked 9 years on a cardiac unit in a hospital as a registered nurse and the truth is they don't really know what causes high blood pressure but these are just my opinion I can't offer medical advice too much of anything is bad for you just as not enough is just as bad I love your pantry God bless
