I have been very haphazardly building some food storage options for us without realizing exactly what I was doing. Last week, we ordered half a hog to split with the Millers and put in our respective freezers. Next month, I think we'll order a quarter or half cow for the same purpose. Over the summer, Jewel and I did a bunch of canning and we still have a decent supply of that in the pantry - in fact, we need to get better about USING it more.
So, today, when I came across this post: http://sharonastyk.com/2011/03/06/newbie-food-storage-on-the-cheap/comment-page-1/#comment-37479, it really got me to thinking. Ty and I need to develop more of a plan regarding our food storage. I'm not sure what that plan is but that's totally okay. All good plans start with a lot of thinking anyway:). Unlike a lot of people who store food, we aren't really focused on emergency planning. Rather, we are trying to make buying good, high quality, organic, sustainable, anti-biotic free, non-genetically modified food more affordable. But it is nice to know that we'd be in good shape should an emergency arise...
I'm sure there's a lot of good resources online so I'm off to do more research!
