Love this!! Is it silly that this is one of my more loved videos? I take homesteading so seriously, it's all about the food, baby! Not the trendy, oh it's cute, hobby farming stuff you see out there. Seeing the massive amounts of food stored away makes me more happy than any pretty scene of lovely areas. Silly, I know. But it makes my heart sing when I see my carefully stored foods I raised laboriously. And seeing yours makes my heart sing the same way. Thanks for sharing! ❤
Mine too.
Natasha S.- That was such a nice compliment. I'd be beaming if someone said that to me. 🤗🤗🤗
Your husband has such a sarcastic humor. I get a giggle every time.
seeing the way you guys and the kids interact seriously made me consider wanting kids omg.... the way you guys just seem so content and happy with each other is so endearing, the way you let the kids be curious about the kitchen and cooking process is so sweet.
I love that the kids are around the kitchen seeing how things are done. It reminds me of when I grew up... They will forever be great full when they grow up they are so blessed to have you guys as parents 💗💕💕💕
Have you got CO2 meter in the cellar? Since carbon dioxide is heavier than air it can accumulate in secluded areas like cellars without ventilation. Stay safe. Stay Elliott Homestead.
Oh gee...now that I've found your channel and some of the other homesteaders I'm feeling equal parts inspired, embarrassed, overwhelmed, and encouraged. I struggle to get Kraft Dinner on the table for my three kids, and you just put a beautiful salad and DUCK on the table. I struggle to define whether I am just a different type of person and should enjoy the lifestyle we are living, or whether I need to make changes to get closer to what I see in your family. It doesn't help that my husband's MS holds him back and therefor seems to anchor our family in a bit of chaos and sometimes despair. But we've been going at this for 12.5 years and we love each other and our kids more today than yesterday. Maybe we'll get where we need to be or find the peace in where we are now along the way.
Give yourself grace. We all need more grace.
Thank you! Please continue this purposeful organization theme. I believe families continue to struggle with not just seasonal cleaning but daily organizing, cleaning and preserving house and home. Learning this skill 2019 will bring peace of mind. ❤️🌱
It’s so heartwarming to see the two of you together. More couples should treat each other that way.
I love to make things beautiful, but I’ve never been able to explain why. Until just now! The more beautiful things are, the more inspired you are to create! Thank you for those words!
Thank you for complimenting your husband. This is something I need to do more of.
Finding Femininity This is coming from a husband myself, it’s a two way street. It was very sweet though.
Your husband did a very good job on the ceiling. You guys seem to love and respect each other. Good men don’t hear enough praise. Thanks for reminding me to keep doing that for my own bearded cutie 🥰.
Try using a tea spoon to peel your ginger. It takes the skin off without wasting any. Also you can't cut your fingers!! Great channel btw 😁
What a beautiful, loving family you have! May God Bless you! Stay in the Light! So blessed!
You guys live a beautiful, beautiful life!!!! Thank you for sharing it and inspiring others. 😃❤️👍🙏
Omg as a city girl/hair dresser I've always wondered what I was going to to when I farm on a larger scale when it comes to still looking glam!! And boy oh boy you nailed it with the makeup and lashes!! I see it still can be done!! Love your video this is the first one I've seen.
I admire anyone who can have this kind of lifestyle. I love ur videos. U have a beautiful family.
May the Lord keep blessing your family, it’s your family that makes the root cellar priceless
I keep watching your videos because I want to make subsistence farming a hobby of mine when I save up enough money to buy a property. It's a lot of work. I know it is. But not relying on the economy for my food, water, shelter, and sanitation has been a dream of mine since I was 14.
The next part of the comment is dreamy rambling. You don't have to read it.
I've talked to my little brother. He says he wouldn't be opposed to sharing a property. I could grow food, and he would have a lot of fun with some nice toys in the shop.
We both have an interest in sustainability and independence. But since it will be just a hobby, I don't expect to completely feed ourselves with the garden.
Hopefully our future wives will be okay with the hobby. I won't expect my wife to participate in my hobby, and I sure won't expect her to be domestic. She can be, if she wants- and if our financial situation allows. But I expect to be a careerwoman, and I don't want to be a mom, stay at home or otherwise. I like kids, but I don't want to be a parent.
I will spoil my brothers future children rotten though. My future wife and I will be the best aunties ever.
I sure hope I can save enough money for a large-ish property. A handful of acres. With the recession on the way, and me not even having my first job, I'm afraid that I'm getting ahead of myself. I probably won't ever have enough money to buy a property, especially one within an hour's commute of where I will likely work.
Ah well. Daydreams are better than reality anyway. Reality is suffering, daydreams are warm and comforting. So it may be for the best that my daydream will never come true. I'll still work for it though.
I hope your reality isn't suffering. I hope your life is warm and comforting, as daydreams are. Perhaps your life is just plain boring, with spots of hardship and spots of joy. That would be nice too.
This is my first time watching your family vlog and I loved it! Having that very old root cellar is such a plus to your homestead. I haven't seen the rest of the house but I can imagine it is just as lovely. The duck looked so good, and I've never had the pleasure of even eating duck. My brother cooks it for holidays but he lives way up in Duluth, MN. I can't wait to see more of your videos and you have a beautiful family! Thank you for sharing your life with us!
I LOVE your videos. I love the old way of living and you keep that alive in me. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Your root cellar is outstanding! Thank you for sharing! I so loved hearing your loving children sing together! I am so relaxed after enjoying this video I think I will watch the next one relaxing in my hot tub outside on this beautiful July 2022 Lake Chelan Valley day! God Bless you all!
Thank you for always talking about how long projects take in such positive ways. It gives me hope that we'll get our place up and running someday. The reminder that projects start and stop and evolve is so helpful!
Great video. The duck looked sooo good. My all time favorite meat! Love the root cellar, we had a large pantry room in Oregon that we used for this, can't wait to see how we will store our crops now. :)
One room was probably a cistern like my basement. The rest was probably a cellar for food storage. We call it a fruit cellar here. Goof fruit cellars had dirt floors so you could store whole cabbage plants and carrots in sand.
Do your children realize how lucky they are to have a mommy that is such a great cook? I love your videos. Please make lots more this year. Thank You. Grandpa Jones
Maybe someday they will ;) I love them to bits.
I was just thinking about you guys. You live your lives FULLY. Enjoying every little aspect of your lives. Kudos! Thank you so much for sharing your lives, knowledge,family and interests with us. You give us much to aspire to.
Ordinary beauty. That's my goal.
I so admire all of the young people that are homesteading now days and teaching their children where their food comes from and how to grow it. If I we're younger it's the life I would definitely want.
1. loving you guys!
2. silent night beautiful!
3. you're super elegant, reminded me a lot of when I was living in France
4. I thought it looked like the Koolaid man broke through your wall 😀.
5. I would have painted the walls and the shelves and did maybe a brick floor but then again I ate a store bought salad for lunch lol
I love it when you brag on Stuart- I love the expression on his face when you do that. I love your kitchen, your pots and pans, I love to watch you cook, I love your family, and your lifestyle. I got excited - I thought you were going to make a latte- I wanted to watch you do that also.....next time?
Always. Lattes are my love language.
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.
Great secret room! Love the walk in fridge too.
Have to admit I have never had duck but you made it look sooo good.
I was enjoying the video and all of a sudden it was over, boo. thanks Elliott family. : ) peace
Like a good glass of wine... gone too soon...
@@theelliotthomestead that and green beans. : )
Oooh have you thought over putting white beadboard shiplap on the ceiling to brighten the space. We have a local colonial 1950s house and almost everywhere they could put old beadboard they did. It makes spaces so much easier to clean and bigger feeling. Love the dedicated space for root cellar pantry. How inspiring.
So glad to see you are posting again on a regular basis. Would love to hear some commentary on the cooking. Great job on the videos. Keep up the good work. The food looks delicious, the garden captivating, the house a vintage treasure, and the company subliime.
I'm looking forward to another year of perfection and loveliness on the Eyelash Homestead!
Fantastic. That cabbage and duck with those flavours sound incredibly good. Every homesyeads envy with a cellar AND a walk in fridge. Great video once again.
It took a few years to get it to this point but it was worth the wait! You need space like this if you're going to grow your food.
@@theelliotthomestead thanks for replying. I'm sub tropical so I don't know if anything like that would even work here. It's so rare here in Australia to have anything like it anywhere. But the other side is that our climate let's us have year round growing seasons only limited by not having enough cool season to grow some things in winter. Ironically. Lol.
You guys are soo talented with the camera and editing. I love your videos. Have an amazing Monday, Andreas from Off Grid Sweden 🇸🇪
Thank you! :)
I am IMPRESSED! You’ve worked really hard!👍👍👍👍👍
Watching this makes me feel even more happier about homesteading
I never want your videos to end. NEVER. 😔😙
out of all the homestead CZcamsrs your video quality is the best
Very kind words, thank you!
OH MY, IT LOOKS DELICIOUS...WHAT A FORTUNATE, ARTISTIC, FAMILY IN SO MANY WAYS! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!
Elegant, calm, enjoyable! I love to watch you choose your ingredients from your great pantry and whip up a gourmet meal while chatting with us. I can see you getting your own show on TV. Hugs❤️
We tried that with Food Network and it didn't take. But I am thankful we get to share what we'd like on our channel :)
Every video you make is so inspiring to me! Gives me the drive to live closer to nature this way even in the city, every little bit closer I can get!
Get it girl!
This is awesome. I love your ethics. I don't need fancy and new...give me a gallon of paint and i am happy. My hubby is much like Stu, hes a welder by trade and a carpenter by......years of figuring things out. Great job
You two are amazing together. I love what you share and your family. I watched a video you did talking about family and how to keep them healthy....You sure are an inspiration........BLESSINGS..MINDY
Boy u were chopping so fast n slinging food to n fro like pro , and u r what a lucky man n blessed children that u r in their life
Recipes for salad would be wonderful ☺
😳 my dream cellar!
Very inspiring thanks so much for sharing!
Wonderful video! So soothing and sweet. Thank you for sharing😉
It doesn’t get better than this, you’re living the dream!
Just come across your channel. what an amazing garden , family and life you have. Looking forward to seeing the video's in your library and any new content you upload.
Welcome! Thanks for watching.
This right here is life goals.....
My kids watched this with me and now really want that salad. Please tell me you can share it because, woot! kids asking for cabbage is always a good day. Thanks for the happy tour!
Love this! We live in a farmhouse was that built in 1900. I wish we could store things (other than cans) in ours basement. It's just way too damp.
I just came across your channel. What a lovely way to raise your family.
You’re living my dream life.🏡💕
Amazing root cellar! Your work ethic is admirable.
It's a disease ;)
I’m not sure how I came across your video but I absolutely love everything about you and your family. This video was so relaxing to watch, and the love you and your husband share is simply beautiful. I loved when the boys wanted to smell the ginger. 🤗 it made me think of my littles always in the pots as I’m cooking. 🤗 You definitely have gained a new subscriber. Thanks for sharing 😍😍
I find this so fascinating and would love to try this when I purchase my own home. Personally I'm vegan, but not judging your way of life in the way you care for your family! Also all that saurkraut looks heavenly haha.
My first video of yours. Love that walk in fridge room. Never thought to do that. I'd love more explanation on how you went about it and the pro's vs con's of it all. The recipe for that slaw salad you made would be awesome too....( =
Checkout CoolBot.com - we followed their instructions. The recipe for the salad is in my cookbook, From Scratch (link under video) ;)
Love how you put so much effort and love into every meal ❤️. It’s impossible that foot harvested duck anywhere 🤣🤣
Your children are so lucky to know what real food is!
Watching you cook the duck made me crave some...now it is on the menu this week! Love your root cellar and your organization ♥️
ORGANIZATION is my word this year - ha! I feel like we're past the nasty move mess and trying to find a place for everything. Now it's just a matter of making it clean and efficient.
The Elliott Homestead well you’re doing wonderfully thus far...many blessings to you and your wonderful family
Noooo!!! I wanted to see the whole duck process. You ended with that beautiful pile of duck and herbs. I'm salivating. Is it in one of your books? Jealous of your cellar. Love it!
They had to cure for a day ;) Thanks for watching!
That salad looks so delicious! It would be wonderful to know the recipe for the sauce and what you cooked the nuts in :) Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us!
Both of you guys are amazing! That cellar is nice.
I would love to hear any of your insights into parenting. You guys always seem to be able to get work done with all your children around! I only have one and have a hard time finding the time to wash dishes. Thanks from Austin, TX!
I get that, ha. There was a time when the kids were a bit smaller that work was a bit harder. Now, they've just been trained to go along with it. It's part of their life. We play together, eat together, learn together, and work together.
Thank you for showing us your cellar! When I was reading about it in your book, I wished I could see it! 😉
Country living at its best. Nice bounty in the cellar. A lot to be grateful. ✌
hahah foot harvested ducks :D you guys are soooo adorable and funny :D I love seeing your videos :)
He cracks me up. Every day.
Fantastic video as always, I love cabbage so that salad looked awesome. Thanks for showing us a little more of your farm.
Horticulture Geek n
I LOVE CABBAGE too.
Some day way way in the future some one will redo that kitchen floor. The will find lost treasures and be amazed at the vintage toys. Awesome. Lol
I bet you love your house! Neat root cellar! Wonder why you didn't put down landscape cloth before the gravel. Maybe something to do with moisture? Don't know.
Yes, moisture! It needs to ebb and flow.
Oh love love love the cellar. My dream!
Absolutely beautiful! Keep em coming please, please, please!!! 😆😘
On it!
Great video. I've always wanted to leave California and live on a farm. Never gonna happen lol. But I do have a good bit of land for a garden. I just need to plant it. Hello from California 🙋🏾♀️
pfff the "bearing your children" bit was hilarious! probably would've made that joke myself lol
Would love to see how you did the walk in refrigerator and how it works! Great video as usual!
Checkout CoolBot.com - it's on there!
Hello! Loved watching this! I had a quick question! I LOVE the idea of making a walk in cooler.. how did you make it? I’ve seen a ton of people using air conditioning units, but since your cellar is underground, how do you keep it cold? I want to do something similar in the future but just collecting ideas!
Thank you for all you do and adding so much beauty into the world through your videos!
Am really have interest in that part! ... hope they answer
coolbot.com
Lovely video. I really wanted to see more of how your finished the duck recipes. Also, how did you make your walk-in refrigerator? Is it costly to run? Thank you.
My goodness, you all eat well. Beautiful. Simply beautiful!
Love your root cellar! And OMG, all that kraut - beautiful!! Thanks for sharing.
Y'all are killing me with all of the goodness in this episode! Don't you want to come back to Alabama and work on our place?! ;)
Everything is done with such confidence and Grace. I love your style of vlogs and the editing is magical. Happy New Year from Ottawa, Canada xo
Thank you Susan :) I'll share your compliments with Stuart. He's quite an amazing man.
I absolutely love this. This is my dream.
I love all your videos... Im living vicariously through your family. Watchibg your videos is like watching a movie, I love your family. Thanks so much 🙏
One of my favorite videos! I wished you guys would have shown how you made your walk-in refrigerator. keep up the good work.
Checkout CoolBot.com - we just followed their instructions.
Al Lumnah at Lumnah Acres has some good videos of his refrigerated room build.
Hi. Love your CZcams posts. I have a Shetland sheep farm in Maine. Would you mind posting an episode on how you built your walk in fridge?
More of these videos Elliotts! Really inspiring and fun to see! You guys are really good at what you do! Happy 2019!
Thanks for watching!
That is so beautiful! We have a small cold room under our stairs, but I would love to have one as big as yours! We are actually in the process of looking for a new home, and a cold room is on the 'must' list.
I love the root cellar and the food looks amazing.
This is amazing. I wish I was at the level you were all at. I have so much to learn please keep the videos and books coming.
We're working on it! :)
I am watching this ( for 2 hours ) and I feel totally lazy. You are incredible. Joyce
Love to see ya'll work so well together in harmony. Good Food! Really Good Food!
Beautiful settings!The colors,the light...I love your contrasts in light and colors!And the content is useful and inspiring!Goood stuff!🙌
Thank you so much. I'll pass on the compliment to Stu - he's my super hot video manager ;)
@@theelliotthomestead ,yes,he is good!But your style is importent too,your choices regarding textiles,pottery,knives,big bowls,tiny bowls...its beautiful!😊
"sometimes it's done by foot" 😂😂 Could you guys please make a video explaining how you set up your walk in cooler?
Stu's working on a post about the details. Thanks for watching!
@@theelliotthomestead: I was wondering the same thing. What temp do you try to maintain, & how long can meats remain fresh? How many sq feet is it? Did you use a motor / compressor from a fridge? I was thinking that you must have to seal the room somehow, so you can afford to keep everything chilled, then I remembered you just put in a new ceiling panel, & had mentioned there was a hole in the kitchen floor, & you didn't put in insulation before putting up the panel...so how do you retain the ideal temp & regulate moisture?
The weather has turned quite cold here, so I'm using a back hall & a big heavy duty plastic bin to store my food which can be frozen, or at least kept from in the 40s to the teens. I adapt what is stored outside as the weather changes.
Right now, my back hall is cool enough to keep the milk & dairy items fresh for a week, veggies that like to be kept cold, & . breads - for short term use, while extra breads are kept in the outside bin when I buy extras on sale, & are allowed to freeze.
Are mice or other critters ever a problem in your walk-in? Pill bugs, moths?
I saw your sacks of grain and salt. How do you keep them from drawing moisture in the cellar?
Loved it Shaye and Stu.
Thanks!
One of my favorite videos. Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks Michelle!
