Creating a Winter Emergency Food Storage Plan

Well, as they say, Winter is Coming. The last two winters were brutal in nearly every state of the Union – even those without snowfall saw record colds and even some ice. Predictions are that this winter will be dangerously cold and that every state where it can snow, it will snow. Snow and cold mean power outages, trouble getting to the grocery store, and interruptions in food supply chains. In the past we had to rely on whatever we had in cans or had canned ourselves during the summer. If you are a home canner or rely on canned food in an emergency, you know that means limited variety. With a freeze dryer, you can have anything you want in your emergency stash!

Right now is the time to get started on your own freeze dried emergency food supply so your family can weather any winter storm without overdosing on peanut butter sandwiches. Freeze dried food can last up to 25 years, so your winter storm stash will be there for you whenever you need it. One of the best ways to build up a stash is to double your dinner recipes and freeze dry the extra portions. That way you have entire entrees that just need water. Be sure to freeze dry some fruits for vitamin C and don’t forget the fun treats (like gummy bears)!
