A local farmer planted a huge field of corn for our little community. When it was ready he let the community come and get what they wanted as long as they didn't sell it. It was so good. I got five dozen ears and put them up. I didn't want to be greedy. I thought that was the nicest thing. I love our little community. We all take care of each other

What I LOVE about this channel is that Becky does not feel the need to tell us everything about her life. I loved how she just mentioned "I'm going out of town, here's some food I'm making", but then didn't force herself to milk this trip for additional content. She showed us her house, but not her bedroom. She told us she had a kid, but this channel did not become a parenting channel and it stayed laser-focued on homesteading.
THANK YOU, BECKY!

What a bounty! I admire that you don’t waste anything—not food, not time. You’re such a hard worker—and it pays off!

You know you're from the South when the idea of shucking corn feels like an outside job. My Grandfather planted a few more rows than normal one year and it was a bumper crop on top of that. I remember Daddy coming home with the truck bed full of corn. Completely full. We stayed outside and shucked, Mother was inside putting it up. There was corn EVERYWHERE. Corn in hair, corn on ceiling. So much corn!

You deserve to get yourself another giant bowl. Think about it, they stack SO tightly, it will take up no more than a few millimeters of height in your stack, and you'll have SO much more flexibility and space when working on giant projects like this! Treat yourself <3

My mom just passed away on the 5th from a suden heart attack😢😢Enjoy all that you can with your mom

Hey Becky, Cassandra from “becoming a farm girl” did a whole presentation on preserving her corn. One thing she make was corn broth from the cobs. She was saying it was great for soups and anything you want a flavorful liquid to cook in.

My husband thought it was ridiculous that I bought several 20 qt and 30 qt stainless bowls like that until I started using them. Best decision ever.

Becky, thank you for helping us realize what’s possible when one person is determined. You do so much and encourage me to up my game. I appreciate you!

I think dumping it in the woods is a GREAT compost system. The woods have been taking care of themselves for ages.

Thats alot of corn Ms Becky! Before we moved up to Alaska in 2015, the fall of 2014 i went to a Mennonite auction place, and bought 7 bushels, i had grand kids help shuck, and some family and friends help blanch and cut off the cob. We gave 3 bushels to friends and family for helping, and brought the rest in our freezer up here. I found a couple bags in freezer this year 2023, and thought doesnt look freezer burned, so i fixed it and it tasted like i had just done it. Vaccume sealing is definitely the way to go.

[jennajobe]

You mentioned a couple times that your old vacuum sealer would suck moisture out cause the bags not to seal properly. Try freezing the corn in the bags prior to sealing. I load my bags, roll the top over and use clothespins to keep closed and line up on cookie sheet and freeze overnight. Then I vacuum seal them the next day! This works great for us ❤

I love when your mom makes a guest appearance in your videos! She’s lovely!

I like to freeze water in gallon milk cartons, then float one in my cold water container. Keeps the water colder for longer and doesn't melt the ice as quickly as just cubes in water. And I try to use that water discard for watering the garden.

You are and have to be the hardest working YOUNG woman. Praises to you for preserving food and doing all the hard work. Lovely lady, you have more energy than most of us these days. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and showing us techniques we may not know. Love your channel ❤

I remember my mother’s canning. Often it went until after dark and with my dad’s wonderful help! He would tighten lids on jars and help wash pots and pans! You have worked really hard, Becky, and when you are eating this delicious corn, looking out as snow comes down, you will think of how worth it was doing this! Corn is one of the very best vegetables! 🌽

[yarnkelly]

I feel like it would be really cool to see what your pantry/canning shelves look like when preservation season starts and ends.

Becky’s mom: “I guess yours are kind of gnarly looking too”

Me: how I feel … inadequate at first when watching Becky then realizing we can do it and get motivated to just get on with it!😆😁

[marypflug]

I am always SO AMAZED with your big processing days. You have endless amounts of energy!!! Starting seeds, planting, harvesting, etc. I don't know how you do it. Kudos to another great day in the kitchen.

My greatgrandfather planted 40 acres of corn every year and when it was ready the whole town came with their huge cauldrons and camped all around the field for three days and made Indian hominy. He was a Chief so he always fed the people. My father said it was a very festive time.
