Hey there, friends! Today’s video is super special - I’m inviting you into the heart of Little Mountain Ranch to show you what a year's worth of food looks like for us. From our pantry shelves to the root cellar and from our grow room to the freeze-dryer space, you’ll get to see it all!

We'll share our canning and store-bought pantries, and you’ll peek into our root cellar, where the cool earth keeps our produce fresh for months. The root cellar was what sold me on this property eight years ago. I’ll take you through the grow room where our plants start their journey - it’s like springtime in there no matter the season outside. We'll also be sharing the newest addition since last year's tour, which has really upped our preservation game and that's our freeze dryer room.

Don't forget to hit subscribe and that little bell so you won’t miss out on our future adventures and some cool courses I’ve got in the works about all things growing, preserving and pantry cooking.

Grab your favourite mug of something warm, settle in, and I hope you enjoy coming along with us!

Thanks for watching!

Food security is incredibly under rated. Nothing like a stocked pantry to make you feel good.

Hi, I just discovered you today. Reminds me of my great grandma Hulda, 1/2 of her basement was a giant pantry, she was always making something. Others made fun of her saying we could live for 3 yrs on her pantry food. She would remind them that during the depression yrs she always had food because she always prepared for a rainy day & she never stopped doing it. She lived to be 95. We were so lucky to grow up eating food without chemicals & additives. So much more healthier. I try to do the same thing in each season but on a much smaller scale in my 1/4 acre backyard. My house in Tx was built in 1986. We don't have a basement so I use my linen closet & front hall closet as pantries. My husband & grown sons tell people that I'm like a squirrel storing food, but when covid hit. & stores ran out of food, we had plenty. Thankyou great grandma Hulda for teaching me well. So happy to see young people like yourselves trying to live healthy. It's a lot of hard work but it keeps you out of trouble & saves a lot of money. God Bless you both

We do 1200+ jars per year, plus 1000 bags of freeze dried food (we also have freeze dried pet food for 2000 meals each for 4 dogs) that we did with our freeze drier. We also have food grade 5 gallon buckets filled with grains, rice, raw honey, sugar, oats, flour, pasta, barley. We also have sweet potatoes, russet potatoes, pumpkins, butternut squash, acorn squash and blue Hubbard squash. We have increased the garden size for next grow season, which will increase our quart jars and our freeze dried mylar bags.

If I had that pantry, I would have a nice comfy chair, a glass of wine and some soothing music playing. I would just sit back and enjoy the view and reflect on the past summer, and dream about the delicious meals coming soon. ❤

After following the year through your content, what I can only imagine to be the thousands of hours, spent by you and your family producing that bounty, and the emotional roller coaster that gardening and family life always is. Words are lacking in their ability to describe what an accomplishment those pantries are. Your “Pantry Tour” video was just the perfect counterpoint.

[scotserve]

I know it's not up yet, but Dan has been very busy that looks amazing. That man works so hard Chelsea and him make a great team, and doesn't Chelsea look so pretty and happy in that picture.

[suemcknight]

The two of you must be so proud of each other 💞. This pantry tour is sure the culmination of a beautiful example of team work. And, it speaks volumes for what can be accomplished with desire, heart, passion & amazing work ethics. What a thing of beauty. We are blessed beyond measure that you take us along on your exemplary life’s journey.

[vanessaabraham]

Wow! Your food pantries are a work of art. You put so much time an energy into growing, harvesting, canning, freeze drying. It's a work of art.

[MyHumbleNest]

I have had a tough week, I knew watching Chelsea tonight would bring back my peace. THANK YOU CHELSEA AND DAN!! So lovely!

[gramcracker]

I did pickled red beets one year and told friends how beautiful they were, just like jewels. They looked at me askance, but if I had told you that, you would have agreed! YAY!!!

Seeing the Apple Butter reminds me of a traditional Appalachian cake—Apple Stack Cake. It’s very thin layers of cake with rehydrated apple with cinnamon between the layers and finished by covering the entire cake with a creamy apple butter. Let sit for 24 hours in the fridge to moisten and mingle the flavors. A beautiful and tasty cake from the mountains.

This will officially mark one year that I’ve been watching your channel. Last year’s pantry tour was the first video of yours that I watched. My alarm is set for tomorrow.

[TinaMarie]

Wow! I told my husband I don't feel so bad now about turning one of the upstairs bedrooms into a pantry 😊 I do believe he thought I had lost my mind two years ago when I asked if I could. It's been a blessing to us and other family and friends and my granddaughters call it granny's Walmart 😂

[lynnloehr]

Your pantry is a cook and foodies dream! All the gorgeous colors, it just looks amazing. You and Dan are such a great team. When you talked about the bay leaves, I laughed out loud!! I did the same thing!! I will not have to buy bay leaves again in my life. Thanks for sharing your hard work with us. You are such a hardworking family. Now, go make some tea, put your feet up and enjoy winter!!

[LauraSH]

What a beautiful pantry you have created! One of my favorite things about you and your channel is the beauty you find in food and simple things. The natural beauty of the colors and the textures and the joy of seeing your creations! Very nice job on your food preservation! Awesome to see!

[leslienichols]

This is such a lovely collaboration of Dans' fine carpentry skills and Chelseas' love of gardening and preserving!

[eve_]

Love seeing another northerner! Thank you for realistically sharing that your family eats 4 quarts of tomatoes per meal. Pantries have a way of looking full until you realize how quickly we go through them!

[taraelvira]

The amount of work you put into making all the food and then making this video is astounding. Well done, well done.
🌻 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
Proverbs 31:28-31

[OkieJammer]

😊 I marvel at the TALENTS shared by you and Dan. You both simply SHINE. Thank you.
