We create our yearly supply of green salsa from an abundant tomatillo harvest in the high tunnel and also tackle processing this season's tomatoes for a flavorful pasta sauce.

We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀

Isn't it amazing how some tiny seeds, dirt and water can feed a family for a year?!? That is happiness, right there.

Years ago when my wife was still alive and the kids were small my wife canned 900 quart jars one year - every thing from tomato sauce - cherries - peaches - beans - etc. - the kids still remember how good the canned cherries with home made yogurt was - makes one feel good when you have a lot of canned food stored and a large firewood pile - God bless

From a fellow homesteader nothing better than preservation day and counting those jars and months of hard work! Thank you for sharing!!

Thank you for being “ a little neglectful “ and “not quite on top “- you give me hope !❤️

It's crazy how much food you can grow in Alaska!

I started canning a few years ago an I love to watch everything you can. It never sounds repetitive the way you show us and I appreciate your experience and knowledge. It helps me see I’m doing things right or wrong. A big thank you to you both.

@dinahquillen8709 3 years ago

I love that you two never get upset when things go awry, you just back up and do it another way. Tomato popsicles - that may catch on. That was a beautiful productive harvest.

3:54…”I don’t remember anything from before I met you because you stole my heart”. Eric is a very smart man lol.

"I don't remember anything before I met you, cause you stole my heart." Brilliant husband. Great videos!

I'm 60 years old, Cascade foothills of Washington state born and raised. You two live the life that I dreamed of and never took action. I'm in awe of what you've accomplished. Anyone can have bush craft skills, anyone can have gardening skills. The MAGIC that you two posses is long suffering acceptance. Love yourself, love each other, accept what you perceive to be your partners shortcomings and press on. I'm green with envy, sad for a life squandered and grateful for the opportunity to vicariously envision my dreams through you.

I love how you work together to get it all done.

Loved this one, it's so awesome to watch the two of you go through the process of planting, harvesting, cooking and canning all of Mother Nature's abundance. Now I can't wait to see the two of you cooking throughout the winter with all of this goodness. Thanks for sharing.

You guys are awesome, by far the most interesting, informative and grounded couple!! 🎃

My wife and I always include tomato skins when making tomato sauce since they contain a lot of nutrients. We just grind them up with the immersion blender and no one ever notices them.
