Soil Blocker
Soil blocker. A total game changer when it comes to starting seeds. My most used garden tool.
Stirrup Hoe
This adjustable stirrup hoe is great. You can stand up and save your back and then make it smaller to get close to plants.
Seed Organizers
These are actually photograph organizers. They work perfectly for seed packets.
Earthway Seeder: This is super helpful when doing long rows. It spaces everything evenly and even has a row marker to allow your rows to space correctly. I also have the extra seed plates.

Kitchen Gadgets
I love this Dutch Oven. I have two, one in red and one in blue.
Dehydrator. Great way to preserve herbs, veggies to make into powders and many other. Love making homemade jerky.
This chopper is incredible. It makes uniform cuts and slices through everything.
I have the 8 cup. I wish I would have gotten the 13 cup for batch processing but it works great for salsas, pesto and many other things.
I use this all the time. I freeze veggies and fruit in freezer bags. They last so much longer.
Huge time saver. Takes a little bit of adjusting to get it right but once it’s set it is incredible.
These reusable pouches are great for taking any kind of sauce on the go. My daughter loves these and has 0 mess.
Standard 30 quart stockpot. I use it for stocks, soups, it batches of tomato sauce. It’s very handy to have.
This attachment is for my food saver. I use to take oxygen out of dried foods.
I have the 6qt version that is not available anymore. This is the new 7qt version. I have several attachments that really help in the kitchen.
I recently upgraded to this to be able to can half gallon juice jars. As far as I’m aware it is the only model safe to use on glass cooktops.
I have the 22qt roaster oven that isn’t available anymore. This is the 18 qt version. I use it to make all sauces that need to be cooked down. It works so well for huge batches of applesauce and pasta sauce.
This was my first pressure canner my parents got me for Christmas my freshman year of college. They don’t make it anymore so here is the next model.
I have this food mill attachment for kitchen aid. It works pretty well and cuts down time by a lot.
I’ve never regretted spending the money on a high quality blender. I use it for any and all purées, dressing and so much more.
Immersion blender. I use for quick purées and making homemade mayo.
Recent purchase. Super easy to use. I love it for water bath canning.
Steam juicer. Works really well. I make apple juice, grape juice, pear juice all kinds of juices with it.
Corn Stripper: This thing is amazing. It will strip an entire ear in less than a minute. It is very sharp so you’ll want to be careful but once you get the hang of it, the time spent stripping the corn will be so little, you’ll want to preserve even more.
Fat Separator: I got this to make it faster separating the fat from broths. Instead of waiting for it to cool and spooning the fat off the top, this separates the fat before it goes into the jars, eliminating the extra steps. Its a huge time saver.
Spiralizer: If you want any kind of veggie noodles or chips, this is a must. It comes with several blades so you can have different shaped “noodles”.
Bag Holder: I love this. It comes in super handy when meal prepping/ batch cooking. It keeps the bags standing and stops the tops and closer from getting dirty. I use it most when doing bulk marinades.
Salad Spinner: We eat a lot of lettuce so a good spinner is a must. I chop up my lettuce and soak it in this. Take the strainer out, dump the water, and then spin. The top spinner part has a latch to stay down so you can store your lettuce right in this in the fridge.
Food Storage Containers: These OXO containers work great. They are dishwasher safe and most of the lids are interchangeable. You can also find them in places like TJ Max/Homegoods and Walmart.
Stasher Bags: These reusable bags are great. I use these for any premade stuff for my daughter. They are super easy to clean and are very sturdy. They are also dishwasher safe.
