I'll admit I have become a little obsessed with food storage this year, but it has been really good for me to learn more about couponing to make it possible to buy the extra food for our storage while staying within my regular grocery budget. We also researched a lot of plants in order to maximize our yard and growing space. This year our garden will consist of
strawberries
raspberries
blackberries
grapes
apples
peaches
green beans
peas
carrots
parsnips
tomatoes
green & red peppers
banana peppers
tomatoes (cherry, roma, brandywine)
onions
garlic
parsley
dill
oregano
basil
thyme
rosemary
cilantro
mint
chives
Not too shabby for a small neighborhood lot, but there will still be a lot of produce items that I will purchase from the Amish or local farmers this year. The strawberries are blooming, so it will only be a few weeks and I can share with y'all my preservation methods and some yummy recipes! I'm so excited!

In getting ready for food storage adventures this year, I have been doing a lot of research to bring some new great products into my home to make life a little easier. Some of the things on my list are a vacuum sealer, grain mill, soy milk maker, larger pressure cooker, and containers. There are so many sites out there that are dedicated to food storage, but which information is correct? I will keep you posted on all the items I find to make my food storage quest a little easier, and hopefully yours too!
