Yes indeed: 4 hens, 8 meat birds, and 6 freebie males thrown in for warmth. We've had them since thurdsay, and the dang meat birds are already bigger than all the others. It's amazing how fast they grow. I figure I'll start butchering end-ish of June or early July. We'll start getting eggs in Octob...

Chocolate butter toffee almonds. I am ashamed to admit how many pounds of these were just delivered to my house.

Rice exporting countries are curbing their exports to make sure that they have enough to feed their own people. There is fear of social unrest (read: food riots). Whether or not it's backed by reality, the widespread perception of a global food shortage means that we're in for some tough times soon.

Does anyone have a good home-made bread recipe that uses only food storage items? No "real" milk or eggs... just stuff in your long-term storage? Anyone ever made bread with flour they've ground themselves? Thanks.

Anyone know of a good cook book that uses only food storage items? I've seen a few listed on Amazon but was wondering if any of you have personal experience with one.

So my wife and I are at the ward "social" on Friday and the bishop comes up to me. He told me that they had the stake bishopric welfare council (all the bishops in the stake meet together) a couple days earlier and the topic of emergency preparedness was the focus of the meeting. One of the bi...

I was listening to a radio program yesterday, and the owner of a survival goods store was the guest. He said that right now he's out of Mountain House dried foods, water filters, and several other things. For me this raises the interesting question: why the run on survival related things? I can underst...

Ok, that would be me. I know that you can use juice containers, bottled water bottles, etc. to store water. I know you have to santize them before use (the church website gives a bleach mixture recipe to clean them). What I don't know is how to adjust that recipe for the various size bottles that I have....

My Trip To Sam's Club Today I went to see about this rice shortage myself. There is NO white rice. There was about a half to 2/3 pallet of brown rice. There is no wheat and no flour. There was normal amounts of Minute Rice and Bisquick. There were a lot more people then I am used to seeing in the store at the tim...

On both sites where I've seen it earlier, they no longer have canned butter. One site mentions that you should tell them if you're interested and they'll email you when it becomes available again.

Went to our Bishop's Storhouse yesterday to do drypacking and they had everything in great quantities. Those of us that went were able to pack what we intended to pack. There was even bags of white wheat, not many but enough for the couple of people that wanted a bag each. Plenty of rice, we did 5 cases and...

I have had it explained to me that the shortages at the cannery of wheat is for the following reasons. The church will only purchase wheat at a certain price. When it exceeds that cost, they will not purchase it. The reason for this is to keep the prices on the wheat down. The church cost is lower becau...

I have been really focusing on getting my home storage built up. I've always had a small amount of storage, but nothing near a year's supply. So, my bonus and tax check have been used towards getting more. What was interesting to me has been the reactions of a couple of friends (non-members). They'...

The chickens I got in October are finally starting to lay eggs. Not the Araucanas just yet, just the barred rocks. Still, though, we had 5 eggs one day and 4 eggs the next. Pretty soon we'll be swimming in them.

A group in Northern CO is getting together a bulk order from Walton Feed. If you're within driving distance, this is a great way to save on shipping cost for an order from Walton. You would need to get your order in and paid for before April 2nd. If you're interested, contact me.

You might think about putting more wheat and pasta back for storage. Wheat prices have been hitting over $20 a bushel, up from like $9 or less. Prices of food are going to get higher.

From another board: To plant potatoes in a garbage can, you get a garbage can and drill several 1/2 drainage holes in the bottom and on the sides close to the bottom. You then fill it with about 6 inches of good potting soil, and if you like, some fertilizer. I personally am going to use the "square fo...
