I cook several pounds of beans at the time, then put 1 1/2 cups per bag in a Ziploc bag and freeze them. So every time I need a "can" of bean, I just grab a bag and dump it in. We use a lot of beans in "Mexican" type foods; i.e. quesadillas, casseroles, burritos, etc. So I pre-season some with Taco seasoning when I am cooking. Gives it flavor and helps get us fast food without stopping through a drive through.
G:g
If you can, you can can your own beans. Easy peasy, doesn’t take up precious freezer space.
This service is a life saver. In 1994 We moved to Hamilton, Mt. and found that the store had nothing. Produce was what we had fed to our goats. Getting bulk organic foods by truck saved us .
Grace is HILARIOUS😃😃😃 her reaction to Bri getting potato chips was priceless.
Yeah yeah mama... we know about all the healthy nutricious bulk foods you've got, but the CHIPS!!
😍
I love Bri's dress. Oh my gosh... you know a person is truly living a healthy life when they see dried fruit as more of a candy. #goals. :)
You have done amazingly well in the storage barn! That was some work. Kudos to you and respect for your work ethic. TYFS.
I started ordering from Azure Standard three months ago, just to buy cornmeal for my chickens’ cornbread treats for the winter. (I couldn’t find cornmeal for a reasonable price) I didn’t realize how much AzureStandard had to offer. Now, I’m stocking up on everything that is being rationed by the neighborhood grocery stores in my area(Chicago)! I’ve been buying groceries monthly since I retired. One pound of butter a month isn’t enough for two adults. Now, my two freezers are full, and pantry items are well stocked, thanks to Azure Standard.
My son looked at me strangely when I told him we are going to a truck in a parking lot to pick up an order. His comment “ Is it stolen? Because that’s where you pick up stolen items.” Well, now he seems to enjoy picking up our orders and also enjoy the good food and full freezers and refrigerator.
Thanks for sharing your order pickup and keep sharing so I can see what other goodies they have.
Is it stolen? That is hilarious!!
That's hysterical. "Is it stolen" 🤣♥️
Grace's reaction to the snack chips 🤣🤣🤣
So...this will sound odd I'm sure but... I wonder if y'all are not in your house right now not just because of mold but to learn lessons along the way. I'm sure by the time you get into your 🏠 y'all will have tons of new skills and will have overcome many challenges together and individually... Like pressure canning and probably a good hold on how to reduce stress 😆 Y'all are a great pleasure to watch and learn from. Thank y'all!
Canning your own beans is so nice! You can flavor them to be recipe ready, so handy!
I love watching you guys your a beautiful wonderful lil family your so loving with your babies I love that blessings ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great video especially for those interested in prepping during this time of the global Pandemic. Mahalo nui loa! Aloha!
This company is less than 14 miles from our home, I'm so happy to see you use it, they are amazing for sure,
I'm with Bri- Not only the money saved, but all the time and effort to plan, shop and unpack are more efficient with bulk. The joy of cooking with a full pantry!
we love and use Azure... we live in Texas and Azure has organic' stuff that we just can't find here... love it..... we love the flour's btw... I love how you guy's are helping promote these people out of Oregon... awesome job.....
your oldest daughter is just adorable and what a wonderful young lady... awesome job y'all... blessings from Texas
Nurse Kimberly I live out by Canyon Lake, were almost neighbors
Get a grain mill and buy wheat berries. Flour goes rancid but the grain will store for years and retain all of the nutrients and it’s cheaper than flour. I recently bought a Mockmill 100 and I absolutely love it!
Where did you purchase it from . Thank you
Where can i purchase a grain mill im just a small family what would be the best size also do they have attachments for meat grinding .
Great haul! Love the storage buckets!! Once you get your house in livable condition, have Art make you a cheese cave out of an old refrigerator or get a wine fridge with good temperature control. With all that beautiful milk Alice gives you, you could make some awesome cheese. And, btw, cream cheese and sour cream are really easy to make. I live in Central Florida and make my own cheese, from ricotta to brick and cheddar. Only problem I have is hurricane season - the power can be off for weeks, so I stop making hard cheese that has to be aged in July and start up again in November.
So cool! I've never heard of azure but when I looked it up I found there's an azure drop location only 20 minutes away from me! Thanks for the info! 😎💕
Many thanks for sharing this adventure. I have honestly learned so much from watching you all. Sending much love❤️
We’ve bought in bulk in the past with good results, but have not yet purchased from Azure...thank you for sharing your experience with purchasing from them as it helps to hear a review on their service and quality!!
Glad you could use that hour to have a date! Me and others in my family have used Azure! Love it!
Thanks for sharing 🙂 I like Bri’s overalls!
I was holding my breath waiting for table to break....you have alot of great storage space in that barn. Could you section the part off with your freezers and food storage and insulate some how? Hay bales and plastic?
al lumnah from lumnah acres uses those bins to store all his Grains. they're cool! i just checked the azure website. they deliver to my city and there is no drop fee and shipping is free.
Now you are the fortunate buyer.
Stephanie Chavez same at my drop No fees
I thought I'd seen them somewhere before. :) The previous design had white lids, which friends from church used to use to store their wheat and honey back in the 1980s. Glad they're still around.
@@tardismole the gamma lids also come in other colors as well
You have no choice of Gamma life with Azure. Which is no problem with me. I love the lids.
I love Azure Standard! I just picked up my drop a couple days ago. I have had some friends shriek at the cost but I’m not spending that every month. I’m only buying what I need and I may not need to buy it again for a few months. The plus side of this pandemic is that I have changed the paradigm of how I get our food. I have cut my trips to the conventional grocery store down to every other month.
Yes! Our haul was pricey but I won’t buy any of the bulk grains or feed again for at least 6 months.
I’m actually picking up my very first Azure Standard drop tomorrow and I’m so excited. I purchased over 31 lbs and my shipping was only $10.71. 3 cases of wonderful stuff coming my way. I’m glad you explained how the drop works because I would have been very confused tomorrow!!!
I’d be interested in watching the journey with pressure canning beans!!
Living traditions do alot of pressure Canning all kinds of things
Why would you want to pressure can beans? They have an incredible shelf life just dry
4philipp I like to meal prep ahead of time in order to have a quick healthy home cooked meal for the days when we don’t have time to spend in the kitchen.
4philipp By pressure cooking and canning beans you have some of them already available if there comes a time when you are in a hurry or find yourself in a situation where you aren't actually able to get a water source or fuel to cook the beans. Having a combination of dry beans and canned beans on hand just makes sense since its very difficult to eat beans in their dried form.
Karen Rolling totally agree with that. Especially from a preparedness standpoint you will want to have ready to eat stored goods. I was under the impression Bri wanted to can all of them, which I think would be overkill. From a preservation standpoint, there are better high value foods that deserve potentially limited canning supplies. I rather can tomato sauce then beans.
Hi Art and Bri, I love your blogs you are so natural and happy, I live in the UK and I love seeing what you do and how your children love to help.
It makes me happy to see your life.
All the best Linda
Bri, pressure canning beans is so very simple. Lots of You Tube videos explain the amounts and pressure and times. You will LOVE it once you get it done. Also, throw some bay leaves into your buckets before you store them. Rodents don't like the smell and bugs stay away. Love that you all are storing food. We all need to be doing this, just like Joseph did in Mitsrayim. Shalom and Blessings from Missouri.
Those buckets will have a second life around the homestead; just remember to mark them!!
Pressure canning is simple. Once you try it, you will never look back!
Great Job... Enjoy that alone time anyway You can get it. (Late trucks 🚚 are not always bad.) Slow and steady.
Bulk storage for the basics is a chunk of change to start out, but you'll save so much in the future. Smaller orders to add back what you use will be a blessing.
Azure is always early or late.....you adjust. They have awesome organic projects. I use the organic peas to grind all of our livestock feed.
For some reason, Bri is glowing today!!! Really beautiful!!!
I love my five gallon buckets with my gamma lids. Makes it so easy to refill smaller containers from the bulk storeage.
I use those lids but I got multi colored tops so it makes it easier to tell apart. For years, when my kids were little, I participated in a health food co-op. It was always exciting to pick up our order, for the whole family.😀 I don’t buy as much bulk now that it is just the two of us, but we do still buy sea salt , 50 lbs last years split between my family. It tastes way better than salt from a little round box in the grocery store.
nice to see you so happy, things are looking up!!!, love you guys
I rarely, if ever, comment on CZcamsrs videos. I am a silent observer. However, I have to say, I absolutely love you guys!! Your channel brings inspiration and entertainment to me. It's a good wholesome, educational REALity show, because it's real and from the heart.
I will be picking up my first Azure order tomorrow morning!!!! The closest drop is 2 1/2 hours drive away. I can't wait.
Canning beans was my first canning project. It was so much fun and a little scary at the same time. I thought if the canner blew its lid, I would simply install a skylight. lol. You will have lots of fun canning. It's not as scary as some make it to be, just as long as you follow simple safety protocols. I'm looking forward to watch your experience and excitement on your new adventure of homesteading. Now, since my first canning adventure, I buy beans in bulk and can them in the winter. Try canning smoked turkey leg meat with the broth in with the pinto beans. It's very similar to old fashion (for me) pinto beans and ham hock. I don't eat pork and the turkey legs have a lot more meat. It's really good.
Thank for sharing!!
Your friend from eastern VA.
I just got my 1st order..it was amazing and so easy!
What share code did you use for giving A&B Azure credits?
I've been ordering from Azure for about 6 months now. I like that the more you order, the less you pay per pound. It is, however, addicting. My pantry is almost full, but I still want to take advantage of the great bulk deals! I also like that there is often an organic option. I agree with Art, it is very frustrating when the order is late. I live in Washington about 3 hours from Dufur, Oregon (where Azure is) and the order is often a day late. Also there is no guarantee that you will receive what you order, even after you pay for your order. If they run out before your order is filled you don't get it. You won't be charged for what you don't get, but you often won't know until your order arrives. I wish they had a better program that will reserve what you've ordered out of their supply at the time you pay for it. Doesn't stop me from trying. The quality has always been fantastic....like the cultured butter Bri ordered. It is excellent!
I think they have had a lot of issues with supply and demand lately. We used have maybe 15 families at our drop and now there are 50!
It was so soothing to listen to y’all talking by that stream.
Awesome info about Azure.
A tip- you cannot stack buckets with gamma seal lids- they will crack from the weight. So i keep the gamma lid buckets in the pantry and transfer into them from deeper storage with the regular lids.
Glad your house cleaning is going nicely..thanks for sharing azure standards..
Thank you for sharing! I already downloaded Azure’s catalogs and hope to sit with a cup of coffee and review! Thanks for sharing your lives and your honesty. It is awesome to see the love you have for your family and how you work together to face any challenge!
Great job! You know you ordered enough when you break the picnic table!!😃😂🤣
Awesome thanks for sharing I will be checking them out for sure!!
Thanks for the tip! Never would have heard about this without you!
To put your gamma lids on without risking breaking them, unscrew the lid and remove. Then just snap the ring on to the bucket. Then you screw on the lid. This way you won’t accidentally crack the ring! (A lot of experience with them)
We live 2 hours away from the nearest big box store of any kind. The closest town is 35 minutes away and has very limited options. This would be a great thing to look into for us. I would be willing to bet I would still have to travel 2 hours for pickup but I do that anyway. Thank you for sharing this info with us. Edit- yep. I looked it up and the nearest drop is 2 hrs out. I do most of my shopping there anyway so it is still worth looking into
See if you can start a drop on or near your town!
ART and BRI I was thinking the same thing after looking into the website. I think I'll give them a try and feel out if some of my community members would be interested. I appreciate the info!!!! I've never heard of this option. God bless!
We have ordered from Azure for years now. Love this company!
Just picked up our azure standard order today! So funny that you guys are talking about azure today as well 😄 definitely love the organic bulk options that I can’t find near me. I use their variety of bulk grains to make my chicken feed!
Canned peaches are my favorite!!! 🤗❤️
Thank you so much for the link and information! I am going to pass it along to my family and friends.
Great video. I kept expecting the table to break when Art was pushing the bucket lids down. 😂 I’m going to check them out. I’ve been thinking about getting some bulk staples myself. I like those lids too!
I know I learnt the value of having a bit for a rainy day when I was homeless years ago. Like eating from the garbage homeless not just without shelter. I find so many shop day to day. I like to have a rotating stock. I might not have a year, and I might not eat luxuriously but I have three months to eat twice a day. Which may not seem like much but if a person has nothing that's alot! I think all can do more to prepare for an economic mishap. I started with one bag of dry barley. Work that extra hour or collect cans on the walk home. Every dollar when the stores are full is one meal when they aren't!
Good to see your smiling faces!
Azure Standard recently sent me an email about expanding into Maryland. I first heard about them from Living Traditions Homestead a couple of years ago. They even deliver in parts of Alaska!
I can't wait to start that chapter of bulk buying! We will be living pretty rural so definitely will hopefully be a focus for us.
It's so nice to see your beautiful family growing in leaps and bounds!✌🙏
How cool to see people working together like that!
Yes for Azure Standard! I buy most of our food there. It’s so easy. Also, pressure canning beans is one of the easiest things to do. I also PC ours because I soak mine for 36 hours (we follow Nourishing Traditions) and I know the beans in the store aren’t properly soaked.
If you're looking into bulk flour, don't forget that whole wheat grains keep much better than milled flour. The tradeoff is that you need your own mill. Which, they make smallholder ones, but the work of milling is the tradeoff for longevity.
I’m so very excited to learn about Azure! Just looked it up and there’s a drop about 30 minutes from our farmhouse in Alabama! Can’t wait to start ordering! 🍃♥️🍃
My boyfriend's Mother was Crippled, so I took care of her and she tought me how to do Pressure Canning of Green Bean's,Corn,and all kind's of Vegetable's, it was Hot in the Kitchen,but so much fun and I'll never forget the beautiful time we had together ....I think it's something Bree and the Kid's will love doing together
My grandma had two old used stoves and a big big big wooden table out in the shed that she used for canning.
Enjoyed the Azure Standard Food Haul video a bunch.
I have ordered from Azure Standard for 25 plus years.....
They are located in Dufur, Oregon.
I loved this video even though it's different from your usual style. Thank you so much for sharing!
We just picked up our Azure order today! I love the variety of items they sale. I bought pickling cucumbers this month to make fermented pickles and to can some sweet relish.
Loved the video ❤ I am excited to try Azure Market as they do deliver to my small town! Yay!
I loved this video so much I am sharing w friends and family. In these daze of uncertainty it is good to have reliable sources for our organic and bulk food needs.
Thank you for All that you Do share as I feel strongly that you are teaching many people valuable lessons of homesteading, raising happy, healthy and well adjusted children and animals too.
Continued blessings of abundance and wisdom
You should try canning beans! Saves so much time and space. By space I mean you don’t have to have a pot soaking overnight that might get in the way of cooking other meals the day before you are eating beans.
Homestead Heart and Whippoorwill Hollar both have tutorials to reference.
I’m impressed you managed to get ready for winter this way!
Those gamma seal lids are awesome. I use them for storage and even packing for camping.
Thanks for the info on Azure. I have been interested in them for quite some time. After this video, I plan to order from them.
Ive done the same lol.. . Im still packing it up 2 days later in mylar bags...love from the uk
Hope you always show your Azure Standard hauls. I always get ideas of what’s there even if I already order from them and when I watch I always think “I didn’t know they have that”!
Jill Winger has an amazing Summer Sausage recipe that is sooo easy to make, and NOT full of junk ingredients
Very good way to stock up on food. Love the buckets, lids are worth it. Can't wait to see the house progress. Wish it were Friday...lol . Have a great day n week can catch ya on next video.
I love Azure...been using them for about a year and the cost savings is a lot! But more important availability of organic foods and spices. And the community of friends and neighbors I’ve met and made when going to the pick up...just a win all the way around! Blessings yall🙏🏻💖
Azure Standard is wonderful. Thanks for sharing this resource with others.
Use the link Art and Bri provided if it’s your first order!
Glad to see the great grocery haul , definitely worth it !!
Thank you for sharing ❤️💗❤️💖
BOSTO LOVING MANKIND
I have ordered from Azure before, on the East coast....they are working out a possible drop spot here soon. Can't wait.....YAY....
Love those containers with lids....
Yes pressure canning is my next adventure as soon as I find or buy one....
That looks so convenient. Love it♥️ Over here in our Homestead. for next year we are more than likely going to building a root cellar for our canned goods and some of our food items that can be stored away for a period of time. Thank you for sharing take care and God bless♥️
Great guys! Living Traditions Homestead that used your homemade fly spray a while back has a video on canning dry beans.
Thank you that was great information about bulk food I have heard about it but didn't know where to buy it from .
You both look happy and relaxed. I’m happy Art is able to focus at home only . Bri love your baking and cooking videos. Once you are back in house I hope they continue. Have a great week.
Yes Art it is "Oregon" my home state. Azure Standard has a wonderful service.
And you said Oregon correct. Often people say it as if Oregon is gone but it is still there.
Love the shout out that you gave Azure. Their family farm and what they do is close to my heart.
I've been pressure canning all kinds of dried beans for a few years now and love them. Cheap and convenient, my two favorite words.
I’ll be sure and check them out! 😊👍🏼
New project Art and kids build a new picnic table .
Not till he reaches the September goals lol
I love this! We live in Maine and Azure has been sending updates about expanding possibilities in the northeast. I sure hope they get the response needed to be able to come here.
That is AWESOME we are definitely going to check them out thank you for sharing we cant find good butter by us.
I'm thrilled you do this. There were several people in our church and many others close by.
We all ordered in bulk from different places. The problem we had back then was they would only deliver to coops or businesses. Quite frustrating.
Thank you for the link. Our children are grown with families of there own. However we still buy in bulk. We have plenty of buckets full of dry goods. We store those and fill the kitchen as needed from those.
I'm happy for you getting your big bulk order. I still get that happy excited feeling when we get our bulk orders. Enjoy 🙂
You may know this , but if you put bay leaf in your dry goods it keeps the weevils from hatching. Even in your flour. I tape it to the lids. Have used azure standard for years!💕👍
So awesome to let's us in on your food haul ... I'm checking it out asap ... Feeding a family of five at the grocery store is quite expensive and not ashamed to say Sam's Club was where I was buying bulk stuff but organic is impossible to find for me . Thanks again and looking forward to your homes update ✌️
This sounds amazing! It sounds like they're getting added attention and an increase in customer base because of our current "climate". I love that you don't need to order things in huge quantities! I'm going to visit the site pronto! Thanks for sharing!
When we lived in Calif. we used Tucson Coop and loved that. We had enough of a group that they delivered to a house. We did splits too ans saved a ton. Now we are.in Oregon & use Azure. Love it.
We can outside with our turkey fryer burner hubby reinforced. No hot canning in the house. I even water bath can outside. It is all done on front porch and I have a fan to keep me cool. We have really been blessed with garden supplies this year and I have made relishes and chow chow and not too hot weenies. One thing we had never had but now we love is corn relish. Our second patch of corn is ready now and going to make more.
We LOVE gamma seal lids!! We use them for cat and dog food storage, and we are slowly acquiring more for storing stuff in the kitchen.
Smart buying guys! Bri - I love shopping like that too! Saves so much time and gas! Way to go!
I pressure can our dry beans all the time. Do a big batch and save time. It's easy. The Ball book is probably the best source or a University Extension. They are the safest educational sources available. 😎
We love Azure and we were so sad when we moved to VA and they didn’t deliver here. Now they’re expanding to the northeast so we are super excited to have delivery again. I will have to check out the cream cheese and butter! Thanks for sharing your haul. We have a grain mill and love their wheat and spelt.
