Farm To Table "Shepherd's Pie" and Our FIRST Main Crop GARDEN BED!!

[@hoosierladyus48]

Carrie, I had to come on here and share with you my exciting news. For the first time ever, I got 4 green peppers off the plant that I bought at Walmart and it was almost dead. I praised our Heavenly Father for what He let me grow. I am so thankful!

[@1000sofroots]

What a blessing! Thank you for sharing.🙂

[@hoosierladyus48]

@@1000sofroots You're welcome. I told my sister, I have to tell Carrie.

[@tonisangel5024]

Who else loves this beautiful family as much as I do ??!!?? Can we all get together and thk them for thier beautiful video's they work so hard on them and always give us such informative information . I just really think we should tell them how much we appreciate this beautiful family with all the negativity in our world its refreshing to have them as part of our lives we all are Blessed ❤ The children are excellent examples of the love of our father in thier hearts and if all children and young teens can conduct thier livrs like them think how wonderful things would be.....

[@1000sofroots]

Such encouraging words. Thank you for making the time to share them. Blessings to you.❤

Wow it looks so beautiful there it looks so green all the flowers it looks beautiful Thank you for all the hard work what you do God bless your whole family 👪❤️🙏 God loves you all🙏❤️👪❤️🙏🌧🌧

[@mistyyoung122]

I can't believe I missed this video, I watch them all! I especially love the farm to table meals because I've always admired and wanted to be someone living off the grid and being self sufficient. I love how honestly you stated the beef wasn't actually from your farm. I absolutely adore all the flowers you show at the beginning of each video. That being said, I know perhaps it might be too much work in editing, but it would be fantastic to see the name of each one too? And the littles are growing just way too quickly 😍 blessings as always from Western Australia 🌹🇦🇺

[@jeanneharrington4606]

I love watching the creative meals you and Ester prepare…as well as your carpenters at work!

[@deanfaw]

You should do a cook book and share it with your viewers 😊

[@tonisangel5024]

I totally agree and also a book on uses of herbs...🤗

[@loreneknight9755]

Yes. Yes. Yes. And Amen. You could also include tips, tricks, antidotes, stories about your life & what you're learning on the homestead & your life's journey.😊

[@joycecook8876]

Loved seeing you all as you worked, ate and worked some more 😊. The Sheppard’s pie looked amazing! Love y’all! ❤

[@debbiereilly900]

Thank you for sharing Carrie and family have a blessed day stay safe and healthy Awww look at all the baby ducklings so cute. I love shephard pie I make with beef no lamb. It's great hanging out with you and the family always a joy. 🥰🥰🥰🙏❤🙏❤🙏

[@tonisangel5024]

Hi Carrie may I give you a great tip take some zip lock bags fill half way with water add some pennies to the water hang the bags where flies are bad you'll see they will go away it works!! Try it..lunch looked so yummy !! The children are getting so big and beautiful I love ya'll and appreciate you...Camille God Bless you and yours...❤💥🙏💥🤗

[@hoosierladyus48]

Carrie, I think you know my favorite is your Farm To Table Meals. When you were making the Cottage Cheese, my mouth was watering. I LOVE Cottage Cheese! Can't wait to see the finished main crop garden.

[@InuitInua]

When it is made with beef, it is called cottage pie. :)

[@connielipp8648]

Good Morning, what Lovely dahlias!.. The combination of vegies that you'll be cooking today for lunch sounds So delicious! This is quite the encouragement to me to get creative on vegies for my meals- Thank you for your, another, wonderful video. Love to you and your family

[@triballavangers2934]

I AM NOW LOOKING IN MY FRIDGE FOR SOME 🧀. BUT THE CHEESE YOU HAVE IS SO MUCH TASTIER. ❤ THE CHANNEL LOVE THE DIFFERANT MEALS & ICE CREAM YOU LOVELYS MAKE .KEEP MAKING THESE GREAT VIDEOS GUYS.SENDING YOU SOME AMAZING BLESSINGS TO YOU & YOURS.😁👏👏👍🏻🫡

Your gardens make me happy and your meals make me hungry!! :) Blessings on you all!

[@annmatthews3579]

The garden looks very productive and pretty and more growing space to look forward to Carrie bless you all

[@thevanhyfte]

We built 6 planters out of pine this yr. Also 2 strawberry towers/ladders. My husband had me and the kids take a torch to them. Turned out nice. I have other planters made from pine that are 7 yrs old and perfectly fine. You do with what you have available to you

[@katrinaDS]

I love shepherds pie. It kinda reminds me of something my grandmother use to make which was just hamburger gravy over mashed potatoes. Food like that makes my heart happy 💞

[@katrinaDS]

Yes! Butter makes everything better 😊

[@MNTNSTARZ80.]

I cook everything on a 2 burner campstove and bake everything else on my gas grill. Put a pizza stone on the grate in the grill, heat grill and stone at the same time. I place a stainless steel rack over the hot stone so I bake cakes, cookies, casseroles, meats etc. Anything that you can cook in a regular oven you can cook on the grill.

[@1000sofroots]

Thank for sharing this. We have a charcoal grill and have thought about attempting to make pizza in it. Now I know how. 👍🙂

[@carolgarriott8360]

Enjoy your videos! Great job on the raised bed guys!

[@dianejohnson7282]

Such a lovely family. Your videos always warm my heart. ❤

[@alicewhite6051]

Time to get that stove repaired,

[@1000sofroots]

Thankfully, we are about to switch back to our cookstove.🙂

[@jeannine1739]

Your littlest is getting so big! :)

[@esteeb42]

It's been awhile since I've seen a video of the kids recent. Boy Josh really has gotten tall, all your girls are adorable. That was a very ingenious way to make shepherd's pie without having to use an oven. It looked very tasty too as did your cottage cheese😊

[@reneesmith9910]

I just always love seeing your amazing homestead/gardens and your awesome kids! You inspire me to keep working towards getting back into big gardening like we did years ago, and we can't wait! :)

[@cindymanning3298]

There is an amish mill on e hwy out north of norwood.

[@1000sofroots]

Thank you so much sharing this! Blessings.🙂

[@colinchick2692]

Shepherds Pie is made with ground lamb - hence the 'shepherds' reference but I know that lamb meat is not so popular there. What you are making is Cottage Pie - equally delicious but just made with beef.

[@empret7704]

The little duckings are so sweet 😊

[@dianecharles881]

Late seeing this , but a really great video. So,glad to hear that you’re trying to make a bigger produce garden. I love the flowers, however we have no idea regarding our food supply chain .. you’re definitely blessed to,have fresh milk. Something I would really love to have !

[@katrinaDS]

I planted raspberries this year so hopefully next year I’ll have some. My blackberries are finally ripening and they are so good!

[@tracyzabelle]

You have the sweetest kids.. thank you

[@MsdebinBC]

Go to dump and or recycler store and get a couple old screen doors for drying vegetables

[@1000sofroots]

Great idea! Thanks for sharing.🙂

[@susanclair8623]

I want to do some raised beds. Might sound strange, but your voice relaxes me. Another great video from you.

[@susanyates4233]

Your dahlias are beautiful Carrie.

[@katrinaDS]

So many good helpers 💞

[@d.d.mccarthy]

Joshua and Nataniel are such wonderful, skillfull men. I look forward to watching them build their own homestead 😍

[@DSonthehomestead]

We have been using our BBQ grill this summer as our oven because it is just too hot to cook in the house. We have a gas BBQ grill that works off of a propane tank. We love it because in addition to the bbq area there is a little burner on the side so I can cook things like a pot while I cook other things inside the grill. I have made peach cobblers, cookies, pizzas, and many other things in the grill part of the BBQ grill, and I have made soups, boiled water, eggs, and many other things on the range type burner that is on the side of the grill. Works great when you are off grid and it is super hot outside.

[@1000sofroots]

Thank you so much for sharing this. Blessings to you.❤

Such a great video, as always. I'm curious if you have any favorite songs your family likes to listen to. Praise & worship is a huge part of my life and I wouldn't BE without it! God bless you & yours.

Beef mince is cottage pie. It's lamb mince for shepherd's pie. Whatever, it looks delicious.

[@Imthebrownunicorn]

In Mexico that cheese is called requesón and it delicious spread in a corn tortilla

[@sammysampson5953]

You could use your vege water with arrowroot to thicken, instead of using water. Lots of nutrition in the vege water.

[@jackie6582]

Oh my look at the babies ❤

[@trylliumt5441]

Nice lunch!!!! 😋

[@Rule1336]

Hello people! Construction vid. you know I love that. Looks like my favorite greenhouse is coming along. Miss your cooking Carrie and Esther. This is your brother from up north, BTW. Yo carpenter and the IT guy, give me a holler! Pray for my knee. Joshie-It's not a rut, it's just a season. And in Mizzou, a REALLY hot one. Save some weeds for me. Yeshua reigns and His name is worthy to be praised!

[@1000sofroots]

No problem there . . . saving you some weeds.👍 I'll let them know you'd like a holler. Praying for your knee. Thanks for the encouragement for Josh. Praise Yahweh! Yes, Yeshua reigns!! Blessings brother.🙂

You must have good ground. beautiful flowers I would ove to togrow them here in Fl.

[@thegalgeruds3932]

Hi there! We love your videos when we have time to watch! Our 14 year old daughter is wondering if Esther could use a pen pal? Wanted to share recipes, art and fellowship.

[@1000sofroots]

Thank you for asking. Esther has decided not to have any pen pals for now, as she can't possibly keep up with all the letters and offers that have come her way. She is so thankful for each letter and each pen pal offer though. Thank you so much for understanding. Blessings to you and your daughter.❤

[@suze1712]

May I ask, what is the purpose of so many beds? I have a about 10 areas and its very time consuming just looking after flowers, veggies plus family! At least you have a lot of helpers! I hope they all get time to do their own thing during the day! Well done though, I learn a lot from the videos!

[@1000sofroots]

We are a family of 9 and we're working toward growing most of our own food. We are also taking into account the possibility of future wives, husbands, and grandchildren eating from our gardens.👍 Yes, I have a lot of helpers and they all get their much deserved time to do their own thing each day. Blessings to you.❤

[@sherylbrown6943]

Beef is “cottage pie.. “lamb is shepherd’s pie “😊

[@katrinaDS]

Esther is like me. I’ll eat the meat but I prefer the vegetables, fruit and sides.

[@alicewhite6051]

Kerry you have had a broken outdoor oven for a long time. Are there any used appliance stores in your area. Facebook market place is also very helpful.😊how did you decide wood vs the metal containers. I have homesteaders do birth.

[@1000sofroots]

A new/used outdoor oven is on the list, but for now, since the burners still work I make due. And I have a good friend and neighbor that lets me use her oven to bake my weekly bread loaves.🙂 We decided on wood instead of medal because of the price. Blessings.

[@alicewhite6051]

@@1000sofroots 1 hope you are able to get a new propane stove soon. I have a couple of friends that cook with propane and are very satisfied. I know things are very expensive but feeding all those hungry root is a job of its own. Share with me model and brand and I will look it up.

[@someonesprincess3]

❤❤❤👍🏼👍🏼🙂

[@omarayyash3275]

so berries still grow in the summer? I guess chard still grows in the summer? What other greens grow in the summer?

[@1000sofroots]

Yes, chard grows well into the summer. Sweet potato leaves are edible, best cooked like spinach. Sometimes we grow Malabar Spinach for summer cooked greens. We are still working on a system for growing heat tolerant lettuce varieties in the summer. 🙂

[@almamoore8446]

Miss your other son, give us a udate.

[@maritzasylvia]

What happens to prep the bed inside after the build? Tx Would love to know the beginning to start gardening in them x

[@1000sofroots]

We'll try to get that on video for you.❤

[@sue1263]

What about the root cellar? Can you cure the vegetables down there?

[@1000sofroots]

Unfortunately, it is too moist in the root cellar during the summer and doesn't get enough air flow. Once we get our last patio roof on we will have room for shelves that will get morning sun and good air flow, hopefully perfect for curing vegetables. 🙂

[@angelaembry3834]

Do you can your veggies for winter meals?

[@1000sofroots]

I prefer to ferment or freeze them to retain as much nutrition as possible, although I do hope to can tomatoes once we have more space to grow them in our main crop garden. We try to grow a lot of crops that don't require canning and store in our pantry or root cellar, like potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbages, onions, garlic, and winter squash.🙂

[@marymoran719]

When are you going to make a livingroom

[@1000sofroots]

I have no idea. We are working on a lot of projects, so we'll see.

[@wandawhittenburg4247]

Just wondering why hubby is never involved anymore. Hope all is well.

[@1000sofroots]

All is well. He works construction off the homestead, so he doesn't have much time for homestead projects lately. Thanks for caring.❤
