I would dare say most of us do not have a " homestead". And you are showing us we CAN "farm" where ever we are, by utilizing whatever we have available. You are great and thank yoy for sharing with us, my dear. Bless you!

[andersen]

The "Real Housewives" reality shows should be people like you with real skills and valuable knowledge about the making of a home and nourishing family.

[katiedecker]

I have no local friends interested in this stuff so my only farm girl wannabe are ladies like you! I love your humor, passion, and joy! So glad you shared!

Hey Cass, my husband and I just LOVE your channel! What a blessing it is to see and meet people who don't live on a farm but have a heart and an appreciation for the old ways of life and eating. Many people didn't understand me either for wanting to grow my own foods and cook from scratch, Covid changed some of that. You keep on keeping on, don't let them discourage you, it's okay if they don't get it. OMGOODNESS, I so enjoyed listening to you and Miss Fanny.😂 Keep up the great work!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

*LOL* I know exactly what you mean about people not "getting it." I have a dear friend who will not spatchcock a chicken because cutting through chicken bones is too "icky" - but eating already cut-up birds is tasty! A touch of hypocrisy, anyone? Love your content, Cassandra. Keep up the good work!

Both of my parents grew up with chickens too. My grandparents had them well into my years as well. My dad said they butchered the week's chicken meals on Saturday. I'm not so sure he looked forward to Saturdays like I did growing up. ;) Since we had no chickens.
My mom said the first time she butchered a chicken....maybe around 10 or so on her own. It started chasing her without it's head. She was running in a circle around the stump and so was the chicken by happenstance...oh boy! "like it was yesterday" was her memory. ;)

I am 70 y/o. I grew up.poor but nobody could have eaten better! My mother and I had huge long exhausting canning and preserving days and nights. My mother worked three jobs! When I became an adult I continued to have those long exhausting food preserving " adventures ". Eventually I gave that up! I love the idea of smaller batch canning. I no longer have a yard but I do have two huge balconies! The Vertical Garden System is in my future. I just found your channel so binge watching is in my immediate future. My children are grown but now there is the new challenge of !earning to live on fixed incomes! Thank you for sharing your life with us! God Bless!

When you get emotional and teary eyed.... Just know... I'm right there with you... In my 40s making my homestead dream come true with the help of a very supportive husband. You have me inspired and I hope to encourage you in return

[trobinson]

I love this video. I appreciate the length, so please feel free to continue to do 1 hour long pantry chats. 🙂 Also, hearing you chatting with Ms. Fannie was just icing on the cake! Please, more of these audios with the elders. They have so much to share and I don't have many left in my life, so it really made me smile to hear her talking.

[trebailey]

Another high quality video by the best creator on YouTube. You’re helping a lot people!

[jdhiv]

I'm not a farm girl but a "boy" and appreciate your enthusiasm and energy, as well as overall content. Keep up the great work!!

[lorimcmillon]

I absolutely loved this segment. I helped a friend butcher her chicken. I wasn’t completely traumatized but it was unnerving
and it did make me appreciate chickens in the stores coming gutted and plucked. But you know what else it made me appreciate…the animals life. They give their life to sustain us. We should treat them well while living and give our thanks when butchered. It also put on my heart not to waste anything that could be used from them. Much like Native Americas wasted nothing from the buffalo.

I have cleaned birds before because my ex husband hunted. He hunted, quail, pheasant, duck, turkey, rabbit, deer..it brings things to a whole new level. There is a greater appreciation for the food. It's hard work. And everything counts.

I’m on the east coast. Our local peach crops were devastated. My very own peach tree had not one blossom. The weather has been so cool that our corn is now coming into stride. Peppers, tomatoes, and all heat required crops are all stunted. It’s also been very wet in opposition to last season.

I love this channel. Prepped for decades for “survival” and now, thanks to your format, I prep full menus for ease/minimal preparation should things go left fast. In my years, this is the only comprehensive channel that does ground up preparation, respecting the seasonal availability which saves money, AND leaves very little to waste, using ALL of what God provides.

Thank you ma’am. Semper Fidelis.

Maryland is almost as beautiful as you are. I am a farmer of over twenty years and I learn from you all the time. As well as motivating me to keep going working around my other educational support position.

[hdavis]

I just came in from giving my chickens ice water and I think I would be crying the entire time if those were my girls 😀. Love your channel and I am learning so much from you.

[staceyrogers]

I LOVE your passion for homesteading and learning! I'm in a similar boat of wanting to learn more. It's so rewarding. In the past two years I've been determined to grow food and herbs to keep my family healthy. Tonight I made a tea for my husband who is sick using herbs that I grew myself! It's such a good feeling knowing what to use in different situations. I'm so thankful for your content. I love how you use everything, not letting anything go to waste. It's amazing how God gave us so many uses for the foods He provided.

[Altrdangel]

Came home to find my wife watching this video. Wow! You are quite the adventurous spirit and a great motivating force. Kudos to you for taking on tasks that many would shy away from. Thank you!

[mommajubby]

Your pantry chats are like bringing a good friend into my own kitchen. Thank you for putting these together! And your neighbor is a treat to listen to. Hope she is ready for prime time soon!

[annamccosker]

Girl, I just love you! You are so sweet❤
I'm so happy you had the opportunity to harvest those chickens with good instruction! Praise The Lord ❤
