My family is really sensitive to all the toxins in our food, water, etc. I didnt know Thats why my stomach reacted with a form of IBS -Irritable bowel syndrome which is current day doctor speak telling us that we are sick bc of what we eat & dont eat including time in the sun. Of we do anything let it be to get our gut healthy - its the entry point for so many pathogens & toxins that if our gut were at its highest health would take care of all of it for us. The NWo demonic know how to harm the flesh human body & injure our mind & body can injure the spirit until we truly mature in the spirit in the Whole word of God we study for ourselves not believing what we are told but what we can verify & understand for ourselves. We trusted the world & its destroying us all but those taking truth & knowledge in their own hands & restoring their lives back to common sense logic & wisdom in am amazing world of perfection in cycles & processes we are not taught any more bc its too valuable & makes ones strong …this world fear healthy strong human beings of mind, body & spirit. Its backwards but God told us it would be this way. God bless everyone- and seek the truth like this wonderful video of the way we use to live much healthier than we do today. We were not supposed to be dying of all these strange painful diseases & cancers but rather old age & worst case defending our land & families from armies of invaders. People dont suddenly recognize & value life so much that war is never a possibility unless all truly loved God and we know this world hates God, his truth, & His beautiful children.

Staci, you’ve got me seated firmly aboard the “take back your health” train! I started with the fermented pickles so now I have something fermented to eat every day. I also have a lot of things slowing down in my garden that will make a wonderful salsa. Now I know how I’m going to use all of those vegetables this weekend! I’ve increased my water intake to approximately 1 ounce per half my body weight, I get full daily doses of raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar as well as local honey and I’ve increase my exercise. Also, I have greatly decreased the amount of highly processed foods not only that I eat, but bring into the house. I’ve dropped a few pounds and feel wonderful!

Fermented veggies provide vegan B12, as does seaweed and other algae, and mushrooms, plus if you dry mushrooms in the sun or under a reptile light it produced natural vitamin D in their skin (just like us)! B12 is made in the gut of animals we consume to get it, but a healthy alkaline human also produces B12 in our gut, at least I assume that to be true currently.

I needed this encouragement! I just turned 71 and have always been healthy but recently went through treatment for H. pylori infection and my gut is still suffering. I have tons of little sungold tomatoes and was gifted some zucchini so am going to start with fermenting those and see how if goes :) It’s so important to take responsibility for our own health! Since retiring I ’m doing more wildcrafting and growing of medicinal herbs on my property as well as gardening and preserving food. I love spending time in Nature and my animals and grandkids are the best therapy I could ask for. Doug and Stacy and this community are my daily source of inspiration!

[@nixbondi]

Look into milk kefir. The most probiotics and on the planet and so easy to make. Just add milk to the milk kefir grains and let them sit for 24-48 hours then strain. Done. Then simply repeat. 2.4 trillion CFU bacteria per 8 ounces of milk kefir and around 30+ to 70+ different strains. Better then any other fermented food on the planet. But of course all fermented foods are awesome. Fermented anything is best. Cheers.

[@WhatDadIsUpTo]

Borderline on topic: I make my own salsa fresh when I need it. That said, I'm sitting here watching you do your thing while I'm making what I call forever pickles. What I'm doing is mixing up a batch of pickling spices, this time I'm doing kosher dill, just cooking the stuff up on the stove. After it comes to a boil, I will take it off the heat and let it cool, eventually putting it into quart mason jars and then into my refrigerator. By now, you're probably wondering where the pickles are, right? Here's what I do: I either pick or buy fresh 5-in long cucumbers, cut off the ends, then cut them in four pieces lengthwise making spears, sterilize a mason jar and then put as many Spears in as will fit and fill it with the brine solution sitting in the refrigerator. Next, I put a special contraption on the top of the jar and pull a hard vacuum on it. This pulls all the air out of the the cucumber slices replacing it with a pickling juice and after I have pulled a vacuum on it two or three times in a row and can get no more, I let it sit for half an hour or so, pop off the lid and enjoy the world's best kosher dill pickles you have ever tasted. If I don't gobble them all down, I put the remainder in the refrigerator and they will last easily a month or so without turning into a science project. If I want to make a bunch to save or to hand out to friends, I put a lid on the jar before I snap on the little vacuum Gizmo and that way, once the vacuum is pulled good and tight, when I turn it loose to atmospheric pressure, the lid snaps down and holds it probably forever. I live alone, so I don't usually have lots of food, at least prepared food, sitting around, so I just keep the brine in the refrigerator and whenever I want pickles, I make up a batch. Once the brine is done and cold and in the refrigerator, making a jar of pickles takes no more than 15 minutes. I know it's kind of crazy sounding, but give it a shot. It works like a champ.

I never tried making my own fermented foods apart from Kombucha. I got really inspired by your videos and have started with the elderberries, fermented, with honey, syrup, tincture and have dehydrated it too. I have been fermenting cabbage, beetroot, sweet potato, onions and garlic, including the Torto (?) you mentioned your grandmother used to make. I am looking forward to trying them and will let you know how they come out. I live in England and recently moved to a smaller town in Gloucestershire. I have been so inspired that I started again to dehydrate kale and Confrey infused with tahini, tamari sauce and garlic (loads of Confrey around here). I hadn't done it in ages. I guess I will be carrying on with it as I already feel healthier to be producing my own food with organic veggies and my wild berries. The next big thing is to collect the hawthorn berries and make tincture and whatever else I discover in my researching. I will def be making the salsa.Thank you a big bunch for being in this planet, you are lovely. A pleasure to watch both of you❤

Went for a walk in our neighborhood after dinner and came across a neighbor who had 2 baskets of tomatoes, peppers, and spaghetti squash with a FREE sign on them! Picked up a few items and when I got home, here is your salsa fermenting recipe!! Coincidence?? Tomorrow I'll be fermenting - thank you so much!!!! Appreciate all the work you put into creating content for us!

[@lionessofariel]

Thank you once again for sharing your knowledge, Stacy. This is one of the processes I include when making tomato relish. Spring is almost here in Australia. I’m hoping our last recent fall of snow in our area will be the last cold blast for this season. Blessings to you and Doug 🙏🏼💗✌️

[@KatyatheBlack]

Thank you for your positivity- I feel like you called me out at the beginning of the video. I’ve felt awful for 2 weeks, sick with something but I’m hopeful to be getting better. Also I started my very first fermented carrot batch, its on the counter now finishing up today! I will eat some carrots, make some salsa… thank you

[@seekingtruth7355]

Thank you Stacy! I made my 1st ever Ferment, Lacto Fermented Blueberries, from your 'Favorite Recipes Stacy's Fermenting With A Smile' Book! Wow! Fermented Foods are Fabulous! Excited to try more of your recipes! All the Best to You and Doug!

[@ronda7060]

I have started doing a lot of fermenting, thanks to you. I am so beyond happy to learn healthier options. We also started planting a garden again. I also ordered a 10lb tub of Redmans salt. I love everything you share.

[@serenitysealed485]

Thank you Stacy and Doug for all the information on animal,husbandry, farming, off grid cooking and fermenting. Stacy have you ever made pickled corn? My paternal grandmother used to make it. Loved it. I can not find a good recipe for it. When she came down for her annual winter visit from Ohio to Florida, she would make a large batch for us and by the time she returned home, we would eat some and she would can some for us to have at a later date. For those who eat pork it is a great complimentary side dish. By choice I no longer eat pork, but it also goes well with seasoned chicken.

[@alchemybyangela]

I love and greatly appreciate *all* of your videos but I'm waiting for the "This is Stacey's Work-Out Routine, to Become Buff, Like Her" video to come out. 🤪 But seriously. Edit to say: to take back my health, I'm starting back on my work-out routine. I was hoping for tips from Stacey. Perhaps what she does for her work-out routine. I would genuinely love if she made a video on it! P.S. I hadn't watched this video, in its entirety, prior to my commenting. (I'm sorry 😔)

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

You didn't watch the laundry video? 🤣

[@alchemybyangela]

@@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY lol no. I'll have to check it out!

[@Msaltares91]

I’m sure it’s all the off grid laundry lol

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Fermented things need to be in cold storage once at peak taste, texture etc If u have none, canning or drying/salting is only choice (waterglassing) Dairy goes quick so u can continually ferment small amts of kefir but unless u want to make small amts of other ferments u can’t do ferments (canning destroys probiotics) in large quantity I would can huge amt of tomatoes and ferment just some salsa etc as my fridge is small

[@toneenorman2135]

Agree!

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

@@toneenorman2135 it’s awful having no cold storage Larder (cold room) Basement Root Cellar Just cold enough even 8 mos a yr and the other 4 I will be eating fresh food We have very short cool season here and no hills to dig out to make a root cellar. I would have to build a bank to dig out the cellar. Or bank up lots of dirt all over the structure I built. Like 4’ thick prob. It’s hoooot n humid here as matter of course. If that cyclical ice age cycles around soon, it would be a relief for storage purposes lol

[@sandicalder6959]

agreed I don't have the frig room for that much ferments . We have short growing season so canning is the way to go for me

[@Nana-zi9xq]

So many experts. LMAO

[@Linda-fg2rz]

Great video Stacy! Thank you for the encouragement and leadership to better natural health.

[@ginanunez1214]

Love this! Perfect timing as I was just about to make salsa! And of course I love fermenting. A perfect pair! Thank you so much for the encouragement!

[@donnas1131]

I just came in from gathering a few tomatoes, would like to know if I can use Sea salt or Himalayan salt to make this, is all I have on hand at the moment…thanks for this, I love learning from you Stacy.

[@deborahbessom6679]

Yes, just don't use ionized table salt.

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

Yes

[@ritad.franklin6372]

Yes, both are the best. They have minerals your body needs and taste wonderful

[@vallovesnature8449]

I was checking out those celosas in the garden. They’re absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing this cool recipe with us!!!❤️❤️

[@brenready2277]

I'm growing a garden, and just learned from Stacie how to make that salsa! 🙏🌎 love your videos thanks for sharing your experiences with us! ❤

[@joannep5974]

I'm looking to start the seed sprouting since I've seen your video on that. I just got all my supplies. Thank you for all you do Stacy.

[@generationshomestead]

I did my first ferment a couple days ago. I wanted to try onions and peppers. Excited to try them for lunch with my salad. Thank you Stacy for all your inspiration!!! You are a real gem!!! You and Doug are such a blessing!

[@nancycarney]

I was gifted about 4 lbs of Anaheim peppers. My Dad bought farm fresh tomatoes. I had some Georgia onions and jalapenos. I made 8 pints of salsa. I did add salt, cumin and lime juice. I did waterbath can for 15 minutes. We eat lots of Salsa and Chow Chow. I had no idea it was that healthy. I have kept it on the shelf for 18 months before. I was kind of shocked it lasted that long because we eat it all the time. 🙂 Thank you for telling the nutritional value. My self care is grabbing a good book and a glass of red wine. I love being outside. I can always find something to do in the garden or yard.

[@patriciabowman9218]

Hello Stacy and Doug. My name is Pat Bowman I'm 77 years old and I felt like crap for the last 7 years. Started watching your program and about a week ago or so I tried doing some of the fermenting. Oh my gosh what a difference. My family looks at me like I'm crazy but I'm telling you I have more energy I'm not full-blown anything but I did do the little tomatoes and the fermented sauerkraut. I eat a little everyday. I always wind up sleeping the whole day away very depressed. All of a sudden things are looking a little better. My eating habits are really quite awful LOL. We live in Pennsylvania Dutch Country need I say anymore. But I have to thank you for giving me a little bit of relief and help. God bless you and thank you. I did buy your fermenting book tried to buy the Layman salt they would not let me buy it have no idea why but I had to pay full price from another site. God bless you thank you thank you thank you

[@garybrohard3144]

Thanks to you two, Dr. Leo and a few others, I have began to make my life better. I am turning my yard into an edible landscape. This year I have had more food than I can eat. I have share with neighbors. I have a horizontal beehive and have enough honey to sell some of the extra. I have made sauerkraut and kimshi, plus fermented some of my abundant cherry tomatoes. I live in town on less than an acre and I still have areas I haven't transformed yet. Thanks for the inspiration and lessons. Trying to get my fall crops going. It is nice having a longer growing season here in Alabama.

[@DianaBurkholder1]

Thank you! I have grown a garden, started fermenting and started taking better care of myself! Your videos have taught me so much and I just wanted to thank you

[@rondaalessi9054]

I just received both of your cookbooks and plan to read them front to back. Love love love all the info Stacey, your awesome, thanks for all the knowledge!

[@ConscientiousOmnivore]

That hand chopper looks awesome! I've never made a fermented salsa before but have canned cooked salsa often. I will give this a try, thank you for your wonderful inspiration!

[@joannabrown4238]

I just love all that you guys are doing, and am so thankful for people like you! We are at the end of Winter here in Australia and I have been loving getting my feet out of my boots and walking around the farm barefoot, soaking in the sunshine. I am trying to grow as much of our vegetables as possible and am harvesting fresh food for our table most days, it's wonderful to pull a carrot and eat it fresh from the earth, such a blessing. We have mulberries all over our trees, so I'm looking forward to those again and mulberry pie, so good!! I am always inspired by watching you both and listening to you and want to give fermenting a go and this beautiful salsa recipe. It's so good to learn new things and to try new things! Blessings and much love all the way from Oz.

[@yulanblumhagen3955]

I have testimony I would love to share. I "had covid" mild cold/flu symptoms. First I am addicted to fermented vegetables. I knew that eating fermented vegetables will help me. Surprisingly enough I recovered quickly from covid. I am on my way in good health. I ate my last fermented green beans. Now I am well enough I am planning to make more fermented vegetables. Because of you Stacy telling us how simple to make fermented vegetables and how healthy for your gut. My husband was very impressed too. I have been spreading the word about fermented vegetables.

[@yulanblumhagen3955]

Thank you Stacy 😊 💓

[@gwenbryanarnott7077]

I just received your fermenting book today. Can't wait to try your recipes. Thanks for all you and Doug do! God Bless

[@kathysteele3071]

Definitely going to make fermented salsa. Will plan our garden with that in mind. I love that you show us how to make small batches. It makes it doable and if we don’t love it, it’s not a big deal.

[@nana4trump105]

I have a huge pear tree, and for the first time I jarred pear preserves. My grandchildren loved it. We even had preserves on vanilla ice cream. It’s now February 17, 2023 and Doug and Stacy talked me into growing more of our food. I can’t wait until Spring.

[@janetauckland5798]

I have spent 8 months grieving the loss of my two sisters and my health has taken a huge hit, no energy, my got up and go, got up and left me in nov 2021 again in Jan2022 so lately I feel a urge to get going tending to my garden, to my health and get healthy again so starting today it begins, I will start making more fermented things to put into the food storage and in me too, go to the gym, and ride my bike also spend more time with my animals and start taking back my life !!! God is good always and God is always good! Thank you for being an inspiration to everyones health and life styles!

[@jennywagner2448]

perfect timing - you just saved my small pile of garden tomatoes from the freezer! definitely trying this thank you!

[@Mary-bz5yk]

Thank you Stacy for making it look so easy! I plan to attempt my first fermentation soon. I have never grown tomatoes, yet, so I will wait for Saturday Market and pick some up.

[@carlyann2112]

We are going to take back our HEALTH ♥️

[@miriamramos5011]

Thanks Stacey! Keep up the good work. We are listening!

[@marywelling2580]

I'm making this tomorrow. THANK YOU, and continue sending out your positive energy!

[@vickiwizykoski8638]

Thanks for all your shares. I've started taking more walks this year and enjoying nature. Gardening has always been a hobby of mine. Fermentation is something in interested in trying.

[@annahutchinson3567]

I tried making sauerkraut and now I have started some carrots, those cucumbers in my garden are next. Thank you for taking the mystery out of the process and making it easy.

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

I’m looking for something else to try with all these tomatoes, I’m gonna give this a go! Thanks Stacy!

[@dianelloyd5305]

When my garden starts producing enough I plan to make your salsa. Thanks for the info!

[@kathleenlang3747]

I love your kitchen cabinet colors. A hint of Monet. You are so beautifully alive!
