    My mother taught me when we picked our cabbage and broccoli to soak it in saltwater to kill any bugs or slugs that try to hide in the leaves or flower heads, i know it's another step but they either sank to the bottom of the sink or floated and I've always done it that way. Larry

    I have always been told. The messier the cook the better the food.
  • @lancejames9228
    this is the kind of kids you get when you involve them in the world instead of filtering it through a tablet well done peepo
  • You guys have quickly become my favorite homestead family. Love all my NC homesteaders ❤

    Maggie is so sweet, feeding lovie the goat, saying feed the cabbage with the bugs to the chickens. Jacob is like a kid in a candy store looking at all the tractors, He may just be selling them in the future ❣️
  • Megan one of my best investments has been an electric pressure canner. It works great for small amounts and also you can set it and forget it. No standing and watching it for an hour or more.
  • Megan ,My Mom was a canner. She canned all week long Got sick on Friday went to the hospital on Saturday, and died on Sunday. We chopped the cabbage ,packed it tight in jars, She added salt and she poured boiling water in the jar and set it aside.That's all she did to it.
  • Thank you all. The time spent with your family is always so special. Great video editing and creative content.
  • That Jacob is a sight! I'm his #1 fan. He is just %100 boy,makes me have hope for the next generation. Hear me talkin to ya!!
  • @MNTNSTARZ80.
    When it comes to keeping kraut submerged place some whole leaves on the top and then place the weights on those. To make good kraut you must keep it submerged under the juices made by mashing it.
  • The messier the cook, the better the cooking! 😊 You all do live in a beautiful area. I love the mountains!
  • @amymorrison8631
    Hello Megan and Andy, you all are doing a great job. It's always great to help out neighbors when in need.
  • @lovelife0413
    BTW you guys are so blessed to have all this beautiful farmland for harvesting for your family and your farm animals. ❤

    Put out a few trays filled with beer to get those pesky slugs.
  • I'm a new viewer of your channel and I'm addicted already. I live in Arizona and nothing grows in this heat but 🌵 cactus, oranges, grapefruit and lemons. Maggie reminds me of me when I was little running around barefooted in the garden helping my grandma in the garden. Jacob keep up the good work driving that tractor!!
  • Put salt around your bed slugs won’t cross it. It melts slugs
  • @kimhayden5244
    I forgot to say I homestead just under 1 acre by the ocean. It ain’t easy growing in SAND!! But I manage with alot of raised beds and my chickens poop! I love your channel. Reminds me of my youth homesteading in Kentucky. I’m here caring for my 91 yr old daddy
  • Don't let dry to much I cut it one day and bale it the next day
