we’ve worked really hard the last two garden seasons to out up enough food to allow a sabbatical next year. Will it be enough, time will tell.

  1. If you're going to alphabetize, do it by subgrouping into themes: veggies, meats, jams, condiments, etc. You don't want to be looking for Dijon under D if you happened to put it under M for mustards. The quarts shelf looks wonderfully organized.

  2. Rachel, I just love you and Todd. Your channel is such an inspiration. I have only canned jams and you inspire me with every video to try all the things. I have a very minimal garden but I love how you remind me that I can source items to put up on my shelves. I appreciate your honesty and how you go with what works for you. I love that you tell us to do our own research, while sharing what you know to be true for you. I’m excited for your upcoming videos on how you use your canned foods to create meals. Good Bless you both!

  3. Hello Rachael and Todd and family. My guess would be about 200 – 250 jars of home grown food in your pantry. Have a good day God Bless from a viewer in Toronto Ontario Canada

  4. My guess is there are at least 2600+ jars there I'm thinking. I can't wait to hear the real number and it's getting me a little more excited to do my own inventory. But first a nap and then off to do this year's apples!

  5. I've always been amazed when watching your videos, of how much time and effort it must take to maintain your own food supply – livestock as well as veggies – and your comprehensive vegetable garden. And while working full-time jobs! Adding to that, there's the on-going production of your YouTube videos. Planning, recording, editing and posting all these videos.

    Whew! You guys need a break!

  6. You did a great job with the garden's bounty this year! This next year is going to be very interesting for all of us, I'm really looking forward to it! Thank you, Rachel and Todd, for sharing and lifting all of our knowledge! 🤗

  7. My guess on jars, if this is everything & there's no other nook or cranny you're counting from, is 1600.

  8. I am looking forward to watching you cook through your pantry supplies. I too cook 3-4 meals per week and have planned leftovers. I’ve enjoyed watching your videos and trying some recipes. In the next couple weeks I am definitely trying your pickled red cabbage and canned coleslaw. I can’t wait.

    My guess is that you have about 1800 jars of food on your shelves. 😉

  9. The first year i ever grew a garden i put up 175 quarts of tomatoes. Plus ate fresh tomato sandwiches gave away bunches of tomato’s. Grew so many cantaloupe gave a lot of those away too.

  10. Your hard work is so inspiring to all of your followers. Its NOT boring to us at all, we look to it as inspiration for our pantry shelves. Thank you for sharing.

  11. 1000 jars – about 350 quarts, about 550 pints, 100ish smaller jars

  12. Canning is the best addiction on could possibly have . Jars are an investment , lids can be too . But the goodness you provide your family makes each penny spent so worth it. Canning the last of my tomatoes in the freezer into juice tomorrow . And making strawberry jam from my frozen Berries 😋

  13. My guess would be 1775 jars of delicious yummy home grown foods. Also, I find it much easier to use black chalkboard paint on the fronts of my shelves and use chalk to write what is in each section

  14. Thank you so so much for sharing your experiences and journey! You guys are such an inspiration. While I still haven’t used my pressure canner that I have had for 2 years (yikes) I am water bath canning and more purposeful and intentional regarding our families food supply thanks to you guys. My freezers are full and my goal is to start building my pantry. I appreciate you and love your channel. Thank you!
