Wouldn't it be wonderful if every young lady was raised this way!! Your children have had such an amazing start in their lives and a strong foundation to carry them forward. I taught living history 1840 life skills for many years and I still see some of the young ladies from those classes. They are now grown and they are passing what they learned on to their own children now. My Mom and my Granny are both gone but the knowledge they taught me is thriving. To me, it's a way to honor their memory. Your memory will live on through many generations as your children share your lessons with their own children and grand children.

[@gianfrancobolla6658]

You know im73 yrs.old and this brings back such memories. I remember going to the root ceiler and digging carrots out of the sand in the barrel of root vegetables. Glad to see it still exists. Grazie mille ciao franco

[@sharonbrown2352]

Your daughter is amazing! I love that she's doing all of this herself with a little help here and there. She is learning what I call a lost art. Preparing your own food. Later on I've invest in All American Canners- I have two 31 quart AA canners. Each canner will can 14 quarts, so I run two at a time and can 28 quarts each session. I don't like store bought canned chicken, it's loaded with salt. I have been caning meats for years and love having it in my pantry.

[@HeartwayFarms]

Such an example and encouragement! Thanks for your kindness and support!!

[@ksierra4444]

Yes I'm so impressed with your daughter!

[@ashleym.9682]

I’m in my 20s and think it’s awesome to learn from young people who also are using these skills! :)

[@chevypreps6417]

Nice job. Very informative video. I cant imagine having 80 plus chickens running around.

[@AndreasCreations]

EXCELLENT job! Love that Julianne is such an expert canner at her age and able to teach others. She is an accomplished young woman. Great video.

[@HeartwayFarms]

Thank you for your encouragement, kind words, and support! It is very sweet of you!

[@Tinkerbell31326]

May i make some suggestions and warning. 1. Wash your jars with hot soapy water and rknse well first. 2. Put a thin coat of oil on your rubber gasket to protect it. . 2.also check the place where you put the jiggler to make sure lime and calcium build up is not clogging the hole.. 3. Fill your canner with no less than 3 quarts of water. You run the risk of running your canner dry and it will ruin your canner. 4. Salt is only for flavoring. It has nothing to do with preservation process. You can use no salt as well. 5. Never let you processed food sit in canner over night.

[@jeanineadele]

One more thing, the new lids should not be boiled, it will weaken the seal.

[@marystrong3371]

I would love to have lessons in person on doing this. In my 50s and never really was exposed to this when i was younger. I'm grateful for the you tube videos. But nothing can replace the in person experience.

[@judykish1481]

Great video! I love seeing mom & daughter working together - this world needs more families like you! Just some of my personal tips: no need to sterilize your jars if you are using a pressure canner - the internal temperature of the canner at 10 lbs pressure is 240 degrees, and higher for 15 lbs (killing bacteria is 210-211 degrees). When water bathing or steaming, I sterilize my jars in the oven for 20 minutes at 220 degrees. And don't boil your lids - hot water is more than enough so they don't get damaged.

[@kerriking2801]

Love love love that she is doing the canning! Something young people need to know! Only because others learn from you, perhaps remember always always open the canner lid away from you so that if steam is built up it doesnt come up into face but rises at back of canner. I know she said it sat for couple hours, but better safe than sorry😁

[@HeartwayFarms]

A great reminder! Thanks for the kind words, encouragement, and support!!!

[@hidawayhomestead524]

Try using the bone broth in replacement for water. The flavor is intense. Stay safe and God bless. 🌱🐄🐐🐓🌱Lisa

[@suzannelee9230]

❤ Kudos to you for teaching your children life skills. Your daughter is amazing and I can see her having her own blog one day. Keep encouraging and loving her into that lifestyle. Blessings to all

[@cindyengland9669]

Your daughter is so cute and she really does good with canning

[@Imjetta7]

I keep my jars on a sheet cake pan in my 175* oven until I need them; so much more convenient. I’m so impressed with this young lady, well done mom!

[@TheNoteBuyer]

I put them in the oven in my lasagna pan with about an inch of water in the pan at 225 degrees.

[@paulaelves5179]

i love to keep re- watching...it helps me, i,m a visual learner xxxx

[@jodurrance6140]

Yes, please do a video on making bone broth for canning.

[@robertward553]

Great job young lady. Impressive!!

[@suesmargiassi4195]

Save the liquid from cooking the chicken and make the bone broth with it. You can also pressure cook the bones for 2-3 hrs in the instant pot for bone broth. Edited to add: don't boil your lids, the rubber gasket is thin. May not keep a good seal.

[@GingerKral]

Thank you. Always educational with a lot of fun.

[@sabrinadrabing595]

You’ve taught your children well! Beautiful chicken!

[@Myfavorites877]

Your daughter is so smart. I wish I had passed down this knowledge to my daughter. Not too late though. I’m 62 and she’s 33. We hope to can some chicken and beans this winter.

[@HeartwayFarms]

Yes it's never too late! Thanks for your support and encouragement!!

[@bettyadkisson1681]

Yes your a lefty just like my mother. She always Did a good job canning. Thanks for sharing.

[@customswithker1649]

Yes, PLEASE do a bone broth video!!! Y'all have some excellent tips here. Thanks!!!

[@algonquinwoman1921]

Same! I make bone broth but I’d love to see the concentrate

[@maryjahnke]

Yes, please do bone broth 👍

[@isabellavalencia8026]

Following....hoping to see how to make bone broth please

[@sweetnsoursusan]

I love how easy canned chicken is. Chicken salad sandwiches, fajitas, soups, pot pie, white chili, etc...

[@gaynellhilton3004]

So glad to see the younger generation learning to can. Your daughter is doing an amazing job. Canning meats is by far my favorite things to can. Here are several things to think about when pressure canning - 1 - it is no longer necessary to sterilize your jars, lids and rings if you are pressure canning; 2 - your canned chicken will taste even better if you use the broth you cooked the chicken in in lieu of water; 3 - when canning especially pressure canning keep this in mind.....hot food, hot jars, hot canner (hot pack) and cold food, cold jars, cold canner (cold pack). Jars are super hard to come by and I'd hate to see you loose one full of food to thermal shock.

[@shondalesstudio]

Great advice! Thank you

[@Farmerbob843]

Wonderful job! I have done this for years. Now is a great time to preserve some garlic,onions and herbs from the garden in your jars of chicken. I made some orange chicken broth from bones and oranges that I needed to use up.

[@gaylesimon5491]

Love that you are teaching your family how to survive

[@pamharrison9147]

That was cool to watch thank u

[@sherryshelton199]

Love how informative your channel is! I’m learning a lot!

[@danniemcdonald7675]

Great job and WOW! Thanks for sharing and looking forward to seeing more canning videos.

[@GradeBmoviefan]

I just found your channel and love it! Wonderful to see your daughter learning to can. But even more so...she is learning to teach! Bravo! Thank You for this excellent video. 😊👍 ~Sharon

[@tdewtx]

I also love canned roast beef, brisket, and corned beef. The ease and the flavor of the meal is awesome.

[@lauranewell3197]

I started canning this year and it really is a completely different experience. The taste, texture, everything is so totally different from buying it already canned. Plus the added benefit of knowing exactly what's in it. Good for you to take the initiative. BTW, I have found that I prefer to raw pack my meats because it's just so crazy easy

[@alert1006]

I agree, I prefer to cook it once, in the pressure canning. Otherwise it's kind of chewy.

[@patriciaduncan6523]

Chewy? My dog will love it!

[@caseyscarrotpatch]

I love your channel!! Thank you for sharing! It is very informative. It makes me rethink how I shop and garden during these crazy times.

[@lymora1910]

Loved this video. I learned a lot. I think I will try canning chicken for the first time. Love your farm life!

[@saunyaboutot-rodriguez3955]

Your family is amazing! So glad I found your channel! Thx for sharing!

[@crystalb.-atexaninaz4482]

Julianne is simply amazing. I love her enthusiasm for canning. I wish I had learned at her age. I just discovered your channel, but will definitely continue watching (and I subscribed!).

[@bravegirlarise7672]

Just recently learned to can. Wish I had been taught growing up. Y'all are giving me some goals to set. ✌️❤️

[@deddleman3099]

Wanted to tell you we invested in a home freeze dryer. This also saves freezer space. We have freeze dried chicken broth, eggs, veggies, fruit ,our goat milk, and so much more. Freeze dried food is supposed to last I believe 25 yrs. When you rehydrate it it still taste fresh and really good. We purchased ours from harvest right freeze dryer‘s but I’m sure there may be more out there. Some Homesteaders called living traditions homestead even freeze dried ice cream sandwiches which they said were absolutely delicious.

[@karenshady8129]

Hi from Australia. (New subscriber).. I love that Julianne is so interested in learning. She did an amazing job. Thank you

[@michellemiller4782]

I just found your channel. Your family inspired me to start canning and making more homemade items for our home. We don't have a farm or garden but am starting with easy stuff, like jams. Thank You for making these videos.

[@vickimontgomery5271]

Such great info!!!

[@shereelillie921]

Thanks, Julianne! You’ve given me some confidence to try canning.

[@tessie652001]

It’s so nice when our kids get involved in canning . Great job there dear such a wonderful job GODBLESS sweetie

[@suesmargiassi4195]

Your daughter is an amazing young woman. She is doing things that many people will never even try to do. Blessings to you.

[@HeartwayFarms]

Thank you for your support, kind words, and encouragement!

[@craftinghousekittyjen7246]

Thanks for the info on canning chicken

[@cherrymaniego209]

Very well done video. 👍👏

[@luciepaul1]

What a gift u r showing n giving to your daughter. Priceless life lessons. It’s awesome she’s interested and wants to do this.

[@bettylongshore9594]

Awesome job!!!!!

[@darcystlouis1093]

Loved this video I am going to try this soon ! I love the pink salt also. Thx

[@dbaileyanorchardistsdaught5041]

Just found your channel and I love it! Very informative. I could use a Julianne at my house, she’s a worker bee! I’m subscribed can’t wait to watch another Vlog! God Bless!

[@mikeadkins1854]

Well we don't see that these days the young Lady doing the craft with her mother so proud of you lady!✝️🙏👍

[@charlottesenn6092]

You have a lovely family & your daughter does a great job demonstrating her canning skills. Mom, please don't constantly add your two cents. Daughter is doing great.

[@COWELLGIRL]

I've been doing this for several years now. We absolutely love it. My grands come up they grab a quart and ask for chicken quesadilla s right away! Lol. We also do white meat pork. Pork loin. It is just as awesome and makes a mean pulled pork bbq sandwich

[@HeartwayFarms]

It is so nice to have it handy and ready for a quick meal!

[@lornasleeper7262]

I am so impressed with your girls! They've learned well from their parents, but it is so lovely to see industrious young adults! If love to see the bone broth video!

[@sue-savedbyJesusChrist]

Lovely jars of chicken! I use the insta pot broth water for the extra flavor when filling jars.

[@wendabellea8471]

Just found this channel and I love it. I'm very new to canning as well and interested in learning more. Also interested to see how you store everything in your pantry.

[@bonniecoon7322]

Thank you for this video. I will be using it.

[@myla5233]

Absolutely true. We went on vacay for 10 days to come back to our freezer quit working while we were away. Lost a full freezer of meat. Not to say anything about the smell.

[@kheventplanner]

Priceless knowledge fir the next generation. Very well dine young lady,yore lucky to have parents passing on such valuable information to keep your family fed❤❤

[@Adventureswithamy18]

Great tip for the vinegar in the water for hard water! I never knew that!

[@debratomlin2222]

Y'all are so awesome. Would like videos on doing this.

[@jenniferwright]

Wow we do canning so differently in the Uk. I boil my jars immersed in a huge stock pot for 10 minutes. Whilst still very hot I fill them and add lid. I then return them to the same huge stock pot and bring back to boil. Adjust temperature to a rolling boil for 40 minutes and 60 for large jars.

[@countrymousesfarmhouse497]

Shes so easy to watch, really informative and pleasing to listen to. Excellent resource for newer people . Ive only raw packed chicken and beef and its so delicious we just want to keep eating them as fast as I can can 😋them. Lol.thanks for a great video xxoo

[@HeartwayFarms]

We are very thankful for your support and kind words of encouragement!!!!

[@ahjort100]

I just got my All American Canner shipped to me a couple weeks ago. It’s a bit daunting! My daughter and I have examined it from all sides! 😁 I’ve been trying to decide on my first canning project. I may have to try canning chicken!

[@cdstein67]

I threw out the catalogue today but it was one of our suppliers for bottles so I'll get another one. You can order the Jars wholesale and have them delivered. I also found Ball lids at Menards over the weekend. First time all year! Love the vids...

[@marybethharvey8015]

Wow! This is so great to have on the shelf! I raw pack mine which saves a lot of time and allows me to do it in bulk. One safety tip...always open the lid away from your face to keep from burns! Keep up the great work of learning to be self sustainable!

[@frochoffthebranch]

Very thorough video... much appreciated. I recently bought a canner and want to try this recipe for my first go, you guys explained all the steps really well which I feel other videos can lack at times. Thank you, shalom!

[@HeartwayFarms]

Happy canning and thank you so much for your support and encouragement!!!!

[@aslansdaughter4648]

Well done!

[@kathleenritter7278]

This is awesome. Self sustaining plus great convenience. You've done a great job mom. Maybe try canning the chicken raw just to save a step.

[@demariejones3438]

This is what I want to do as well.. your daughter is amazing!

[@angelafleming3328]

Thank you for the vinegar tip I live in Tennessee and we have hard water and I hate pulling the jars out with the dusty film all over it .

[@heathermoreland6015]

I think it’s awesome you take the time to make bone broth too. I usually make bone broth once a year and freeze it in silicon muffin tray, to make broth cubes for cooking. I never tried canning maybe I will this year, thanks for the tutorial.

[@anniemcelroy2812]

Love the freezer option too!

[@martinebeck8769]

Hello from france , I do not eat animals .I love them to much but I love look your videos when you cook or preserve vegetables.

[@Hermorningglow76]

Yes please.. I know I would like to see the video chicken broth

[@jessicaquiroz7178]

It’s good that you are teaching your girls how to can. My grandma used to can when she was alive and I wished I had paid attention. But, I did teach myself how to water bath can still nervous about pressure canning.

[@HeartwayFarms]

Thanks for the kind words and support! It is truly a blessing and joy to see them enjoying it!!

[@DennyMunson]

Probably one of the best chicken canning videos I’ve seen.

[@arlynelauro9872]

Great video. Salt isn’t needed for preservation. It’s just for taste. I wish I had room for more chicken.

[@marciarowley3976]

So proud of you both! I wish I had learned. Now I’m 62 and learning how to do this and have my girls learn as well.

[@maryg4646]

Yes! Please show making and canning the broth!

[@happygoldenyears4707]

This is so inspiring! I hope to be able to do this soon. I’ve only ever water bath canned never real pressure canned so I’m a little intimidated but would pay off if I can figure it out .

[@Call2WakeUp]

What a Great video!

[@theheritagehousesc]

I love canned chicken too. Very convenient and so tasty! I made some last year for the first time and we loved it! The convenience as you mentioned to open a can and add it to just about anything, from meals to salads is most important. I cube mine and cold pack but you can can pieces with the bone as well. I add a teaspoon of dry grilling spices and it’s so delish. I use chicken broth in every meal instead of water. Even green bean and veggies, rice meals or pasta meals. Makes everything more tasty. You don’t have to sterilize the jars anymore if you can product for more than 10 min. You can just hand wash or Use the dishwasher.

[@ApiaryManager]

I stumbled upon your channel when it came up in my KZbin feed. I love the way you all work together - it's something that is missing in modern lives with everyone running around in different directions, doing their own things. I'm in England and we don't have the same tradition of canning that you seem to have in the US. So, it really is a "lost art" (as one of your other viewers commented) and most people are dependent on the supermarkets. I bought an AA 930 pressure canner and all the supplies for my wife as a Christmas present but we've not used it as much as I thought we would. It may surprise you to learn how expensive canning supplies are over here. Apart from the initial price of a product, transport and customs duty are added which even makes jars a silly price (They're currently about £18 for 4 wide-mouth quart sized jars).

[@HeartwayFarms]

Oh my! That is quite pricey! Thank you for your support and encouragement! It is truly a blessing!

[@gitoismoyo]

I learn a lot... ❤🙏

[@stevienicks1269]

Had my 11 yo daughter watch some of your videos and now we are learning to can together! She helped me make some strawberry freezer jam and did all of the jar filling, cleaning and when all of her lids sealed she was thrilled!

[@HeartwayFarms]

What a great report!!! Nice job and keep up the good work! We so appreciate your support and kind words!!

[@sheliapeters2082]

I would love to see a video on canning the chicken and broth. What kind of digital canned do y'all have ? I would love to see how you use it. I love all that you have done. Great job

[@petuniagranny2758]

I have 6 chickens in my freezer now to roast in the oven. I will roast them so the meat is still a little pink, then they'll come out of the oven. They are cooking in the pressure canner again, and I don't want them dried out any more than they have to be. I prefer raw pack chicken, but whole chickens have been on sale in my area, and a partially cooked chicken is easy to de-bone, plus you get bone broth later. Great video! Canning whole chicken is such a blessing to have on hand.

[@theheritagehousesc]

You can raw pack with the bone.

[@dhansonranch]

Good job! I can my old layers (bone in, all but backs) but never canned the broilers before. Was thinking of trying to can the broilers this year, but I was either going to cube it or do bone in pieces, both raw pack...this might be an option too.

[@lindsaym2547]

You've inspired me to try this! I've done turkey the same way but for whatever reason I've never done chicken 😆 Great job!

[@HeartwayFarms]

Awesome!

[@dr.rev.lindabingham]

Blessings to all!

[@floridastitcher1]

You guys rock!

[@rebeccabodmer5498]

Have you ever raw packed bone-in chicken ? Very good! Loved this video seeing how your family works together to get it done!

[@cindymae3656]

Would love to see how you do your bone broth. Love the channel❤️

[@dutyforce233]

Hi, new subscriber from Australia. I'm getting a pressure canner soon so that I can cook meat I'm worried about power going down & losing all the meat I've collected in my freezers. So I'll be checking out your videos as I go along in my learning process. Thanks for this great video. Certainly had given me some much needed motivation. ❤😃🖐🇦🇺

[@50sfreedom]

Great to know!

[@sandycarroll7914]

Very good video

[@Mindy56743]

Once canned it is done. I have several jars of home canned chicken it saves me so much time making casseroles and soups. I love the taste and the ease of canned chicken. When you make it the next step is the bone broth that tastes amazing and is so good for you. This has become my favorite thing to can.

[@dianehall5345]

Hello from our farm in New Hampshire! New to your channel. I am so encouraged to see the lifestyle you are living and teaching your children. I am an original Mother Earther, farmsteading back in the 1970s. Elliot Coleman is still going strong in Maine. We are working our 350 acre farm, well into our 70s. Grass fed beef- hay- logging- firewood and organic gardens. I teach the odd workshop in sustainability, but it is just the three of us running the farm. I have a 6 qt Instant pot and an All American pressure canner, but have not tried canning chicken. Next on my list for fall cooking. We also have three freezers. They are full, so I see the value of canning meat. Since 2020, I have concentrated on stocking our dry pantry and freezers for both properties. That is finally accomplished. A neighboring farm supplies us with organic chicken. They are delivered in frozen halves, which is perfect for my smaller Instant Pot. When they arrive, I will try canning chicken. Your " how to " video is excellent and easy to follow! Thanks for taking the time to share life on your farm. If you have an email address, I will send along photos of our farm in Central Lakes Region, New Hampshire. All the best! ~ Diane

[@beckyprestwich2834]

I've really enjoyed watching your family videos. Thanks for all the info you provide. I wanted to mention to you that, if you leave jars in the canner overnight, you do risk something called flat sour. It isn't dangerous but it can cause the canned food to have an off flavor. I recommend following the prescribed method. Once the canner has released all pressure naturally, remove the weight and let sit for five minutes, then cock the lid and let sit for five minutes, then remove jars to a towelled surface (a naked, cold countertop can crack jars) to cool overnight. God bless all of you. Such a great family and farm.
