Our YEARS worth of FOOD! | Root Cellar Tour (full & complete!) | Food Storage
Come along on my root cellar tour – here's what our years worth of food looks like! Now that it's finished, we were finally able to take you through the entire root cellar (full and complete!). Come see our food storage in its many forms: canning, dehydrating, fermenting, and more. NOT INCLUDED: all the meat that we keep up in chest freezers in our barn.
To see how I cook with all these ingredients…

Whew! This is a fun one to share. SO MUCH WORK is tucked into those jars and shelves. Almost makes me weepy.
You have so much more preserves in your root cellar than the preserving and embalming
of King Tut’s body, or mummification process on his way to the Ancient Egyptian afterlife.
Love, Light, Peace & Gratitude.
@Shane Needles … it’s a danger, but they seem smart enough to have security measures… and she’s inspiring people by what she’s doing to take measures to be prepared themselves vs looting. She doesn’t seem like she would turn her closest family away. You may want to evaluate preparedness vs greed. Naivety vs paranoia.
@Shane Needles I live in the inner city where the food pantries are almost empty. Unless the apocalypse happens, which is highly doubtful, nobody is going to rob you for food. I actually keep more food in the house than she does, and everyone here knows it since they all saw me canning. I have to wonder if you live in your mom’s basement polishing and assault rifle wearing a foil hat with a comment like that.
I’m a newbie here. I love this channel.
Your voice is calming like Martha Stewart and you look like Drew Barrymore 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
She does!!
Mixed with Kate Hudson
Really? No offense to Drew, but I think she’s prettier than Drew! 😁
Hihi you also look like Rens Kroes so much!, sister of Doutzen Kroes
My boyfriend and I are about to start our homestead journey on raw land this spring. To many it sounds overwhelming, but we are craving to learn what hasn’t been taught to us. There is so much to prepare and plan for, and I love that you show how fun it is but also keep it real! So thankful for your videos and your beautiful family. All the love to you! 🌿
@starfirepixie081114 thank you!!! We just closed on the property, it’s getting real now!
It’ll be too late by then. They are starving us this winter. Covid is a h*ax. Prepare. Think I’m a crazy idiot, I am trying to warn you. They’ve even admitted the dark winter now.
@Turquoise Cheetah Can you share the dark winter info? Interested in learning more
I think you folks are brilliant. The mind and spirit are so full from living closer and closer to this lifestyle. I live in a major city but just taking care of my 50-some plants gives me so much. Our bodies need it, our minds and our spirits need it.
@artisit999 YES! You are so right. What a beautiful thing to get close to nature even if you’re living in a city. At our core, we all need nature! All the love to you! 🌿✨
It warms my heart when you say “we made” because I did make it with you and even though we’ve never met, you have a way of making me feel like a close friend. I appreciate that 😊 Thanks for another wonderful video ❤❤❤
YES! I did too, those vids on salts and simple ways to preserve tomato – I was right in their with you and Shaye – fun isn’t it?
Ah, I feel the same about these videos 🙂 I really hope my pickles turn out as beautifully as the Elliott’s!
Love your comment ❤️😊❤️
What a SWEET thing to say 🙂
This was wonderful! Thank you 😊
My two favorite YouTube channels! Small world!! 😂
Wow.. can’t believe I stumbled upon these two inspiring channels!! I love binge watching your videos!!!! ❤️❤️
once i saw the pic i know immediately who wrote this comment
Love you guys ♥️♥️
Thank you for sharing. Your cold cellar is almost as awesome as you! Well done!
you guys are pronto
What you’ve done is almost a lost art in today’s world. Salute! It was a truly awesome tour.
And everything looked sooooo yummy, no packages , no labels, just pure goodness, I loved this video.
a lot of people still do this, maybe in smaller quantity but it’s common
@Because I Am It was like a trip back in time, in a beautifully done way. Old time root cellars should make a come back, as well as what’s put in time….priceless video.
Put a couple of bay leaves in your dry goods. That will keep out the weevils.
I did not know that. Thanks for some new found knowledge.
I discovered my first weevil infestation when I opened 10 lb. of grits. I couldn’t throw them away so I put them in a big pot with bay leaves, outside loosely covered. All the weevils ran away! Hooray!
@Valery Clark
Awesome wisdom.By putting the bag of grits outside was smart.You know it would not hurt to tie bay leaves together then hang them up around the storage container’s in your pantries.Put bay leaves all around.
@Valery Clark weevils poop on the infested dry goods 🤢
@vicki ioannidou yep repel mice gophers and vampires
This is SO over my head….I’m going to starve…..
Same… trust in Jesus. I like Matthew 6 about how we shouldn’t worry because God knows our needs…to seek the Kingdom. Psalm 37:25”I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” However, famine is coming. We are in the end times and this coming vaccine is the mark of the beast. It’ll be a quantum dot dissolving vaccine patch for the hand. We won’t be able to buy and sell without it. A great relationship with the Holy Spirit, being reborn, hearing His voice and leading and really knowing the Bible will be more valuable than anything.
Same here too. Fear not sister, we will meet beyond.
You’re not alone, if something catastrophic happens only the meek will survive. The ones who know how to work the land & all those other skills that have slowly been forgotten. Kind of sad but I think it’s happened several times with past civilizations. A reset of humanity is inevitable
Me too 😟
@Jesus is coming soon
I agree!!!
However, God won’t rescue us….His own 11 deciples we’re not rescued and died horrible deaths….except John who they tried to burn in hot oil. (I left judas out)
I wonder if they sent John to the island because his face/body was so marked from the hot oil that they didn’t want his walking testimony around.
God still does do miracles, I’ve seen them, but He also tells us not love our lives even unto death.
I’m checking my years worth of supplies….58 gallons of homemade mead and 1 chocolate bar.
Yup, I’m good to go. ✌
Utterly ridiculous and you should be ashamed of yourself. Only ONE chocolate bar? Blasphemy!
@Lady Music ROFL!!!😂
@Lady Music 🤣😂🤣
Holy moly, I got about 3. Mine are very high tho (about 30%) you should try banana mango it’s bomb, make sure to use canned mangos because the corn starch turns into alcohol.
All I can think of is:
When society collapses, this woman is gonna be just fine.
No she’s not, she’s bragging about her supply. Someone will be just fine after taking it from her haha
For a year or less.
@Turquoise Cheetah
That’s messed up but something tells me they’re also stocked up on guns & ammo
@Turquoise Cheetah she’s not bragging. you’re just coping
The fruit stays longer if individually wrapped in news paper. Skin on skin makes rotting quicker.
wow good tip thanks
Thanx 🌳✌
Thank you for the tip 😉✌
Never tried but good to know
So… no rodents will attempt to eat any of the food??
Am I hearing this right, the cabbage will store for a year?!?! I swear any veg or fruit I buy goes bad so, so fast lol
A lot of fruits and veg are bred specifically for their appearance and seem to be so full of water. Tomatoes I grow at home are so much tastier than bought ones. I wonder if this has anything to do with their lifespan too?
@Rusty Kinks
The same innatural crap happens to livestock and seeds, or well it used to happen to seeds, not sure if they’re still experimenting with gamma rays. The Soviet Garden is a great documentary on how the Russians ordered USSR to mutate seeds with radiation technology.
@Elsa Rasmussen 😲 I had no idea…thank you!
@Turquoise Cheetah gmos? Um no
@Td l48 Yep, not to mention the LPG and diesel exhaust 🤮
Do I have a garden? No. Do I grow my own food? No. Do I have the space to stash food? No.
Youtube: Do you want to watch this stranger showing you her root cellar?
Me: Sure, why not.
: ), same
YT: Its 20 mins long
Me: yea let’s go
Exactly
Do you want a large garden? Yes.
Do you want to grow your own food?
Yes. Do you want to have space to store food?
Yes. Bees? Yes! Chickens and pigs? YESSS!!! For fucks sake, YESSSS
I even want to teach my kids what food is and where it comes from. Heck I’ll even teach the neighborhood to pluck their own chicken.
….
back to reality and my IT job
I’m watching this while melting in GA. Longing for winter here. Or Fall even. 🙄🤪
100 years ago this is basically in everybody home
Try 20. My Nana’s pantry looked similar.
i didn’t search this video, the video searched for me
Wow that’s deep… LMAO
She is actually 85 years old. She just eats that healthy.
Lmao I can feel the vibe
It might look full now but wait till Thorin Oakenshield and 12 other dwarfs decide to come by ….
i totally understand you are talking about lor however, my brain went straight to roots and refuges buck (thorin oakenshield is his name lol)
The pride on your face as you’re talking through this is so wholesome 🥰
I want this woman to be my wife. I’m a straight, middle aged, city-living, already married woman myself… But still…
This comment was awesome!
We pack all of our root crops, apples, cabbages etc. layered in soaking wet wood shavings in plastic crates (with vents). They are perfect all winter and into early summer. Squashes, onions, garlic are stored dry at room temperature ( in a cool room). I plant the root crops back into the garden in the spring to grow seeds for saving.
