They explain water-glassing eggs, canning, fermenting, freezing, freeze-drying, fast-chilling raw milk, and using five refrigerators and six deep freezers. The Hills also share how they left town in small steps, teach their kids through farm work and homeschool, and earn income through agritourism. Watch to learn how small steps can fill a pantry, cut food waste, and keep homegrown food ready beyond harvest season.Subscribe to Staci and Jeremy Hill's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTo6PYJoFB6MJU9NdFX-EKwGet Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQChapters:0:00 - Raw Milk Safety, Testing, and Digestion3:21 - The Cooling Rule for Better Raw Milk5:08 - Machine Milking and Sanitation8:22 - Making Every Dairy Staple at Home10:12 - Why Raw Milk Laws Still Exist12:55 - Spoiled Milk, Clabber, and Shelf-Stable Dairy16:07 - Raising and Preserving Nearly All Their Food17:36 - Water Glassing Eggs for 12 to 18 Months20:07 - Freeze-Drying Meat and Saving the Fat21:19 - KuneKune Pigs and Farm Agritourism24:33 - From City Life to an 11-Acre Homestead26:21 - How Six Kids Keep the Homestead Running28:22 - Homeschooling Through Farm Life and Business33:03 - Real Food vs. Ultra-Processed Decline36:34 - Starting Small With Food Independence39:05 - Best Starter Animals for Self-Sufficiency43:59 - Selling and Processing Farm-Raised Meat48:47 - The Preserver's Garden and Seasonal Growing52:48 - Seven Preservation Methods and Fermentation56:34 - Food Storage for a Family of Eight
