RE: THE LONG, STRANGE JOURNEY HOME – Part 2 of 6 - THE FOOD SUPPLY
Great article. Congratulations for moving towards more self-sufficiency and healthier food.
Additional benefits of growing and raising food are convenience (closer than store), waste reduction (just pick the lettuce leaves that you need), reduction in carbon emissions (less gas to ship seeds), and reduction in packaging.
Given how fast stores sell out before a big storm, you know it wouldn't take much to disrupt the food supply. You will be better prepared than most of us.
A friend of mine completed a master preservers' class through the Extension Service, and now she canning all sorts of food.
Yeah, I kind of just scratched the surface there, as it is difficult to be exhaustive on deep subjects like this.
We are learning every day and making progress, so thanks for your encouragement!
