  Really good quality videos… yours are always so much better than the homesteaders who just walk around narrating their day… thank you

  I have a tip for you! A good way to blanch your corn prior to freezing and an easy way to husk it is to get yourself a big cooler (it can be a cheap one, I really like a drain hole at the bottom) and put your corn, husk intact, in the cooler and cover it with boiling water and close the lid. It takes a few minutes... but once the husks are yellow they're done and you can drain and cool! Then just cut off the ends, squeeze out the cobs (much easier to get the hairs off), cut off any bad sections,  and stack them in your zip lock bags and toss them in the freezer. If you leave them for about an hour they're fully cooked and hydrated and you can throw them on the grill from that stage and get the same flavor without drying out and it's super quick! Hope this helps!

  I enjoy seeing you work together on these big projects.  The kids learn that specific jobs aren't mom-jobs and dad-jobs.  Thanks for your fine efforts.

  Nothing better than a family day or two putting up corn. Grilled corn is a must when it’s fresh!  The harvest looked amazing and I can’t imagine the flavor

  Fun tip that I learned from my high school math teacher. If you have a metal Bundt pan, you can balance the cobb on the hole in the middle and when you cut it off the kernels, they fall into the pan. 🤯

  If you will harvest and blanch on the same day, your corn will be sweeter!

  I’ve been addicted to y’all’s harvesting videos and your commentary. Wish harvesting never ends 😂😂

  Use a Bundt cake pan! Push the corn through the hole. The corn goes in the Bundt pan and the cobs go into the bucket! Easy peasy!

  It's so cute when the kids get involved. Important to make them feel involved in the process I think Great video, I envy you for the work you do on the Homestead and the rewards you get from with fresh everything
