I canned about a million cans of food last night with my ward (church congregation) and now have a 3-month supply. That is a huge relief to me.
Growing up, my grandparents used to harvest and "put-up" their own food, and I remember what a good feeling that was. I enjoy doing the same thing, but we don't have a lot of land to do it on. So I go to Church and do it, and I also go to the local farmer's market for some things to can. I also also go to a local blueberry farm and pick blueberries to freeze and make jam with. I just love this life!
3-month food storage -done!

There's is no feeling like knowing the true essentials are covered, is there?

I admit that this diet would be somewhat bland, but it is the absolute basics needed to survive should there be a need for that. Now, I am adding things like canned vegetables and fruits. I feel like an ant!

I started the plan last week and am thrilled as I feel I will actually be storing foods my family will eat.

www.simplylivingsmart.com - They teach how to incorporate your food storage into every day life, make your own mixes, & using spices, herbs, etc... to wake up the boring bland stuff.
They have over 50 free 'how to' videos on food storage & emergency preparedness... I find myself looking at the site almost every day to see if they've posted something new. I promise, you guys will love it. It's the best one I've found yet. They literally walk you step by step through calculating what you need for short AND long term... packaging & organizing it all, rotating it, saving money, cooking from scratch, and TONS more.
Hope it helps you, cause it sure has me!
