Family Preparedness Manual

I have created a Family Preparedness Manual (FPM) that is a great way to organize essential documents and family information. In an emergency of any kind, whether leaving your home or not, having your most important information readily available is VITAL!

Please leave a comment or contact me directly if you are interested in starting your own FPM.

Ever wonder how much flour will fit in that new food safe container you purchased? Use the document attached below to help determine which containers to purchase or how to fill the containers you already have.

Printable: Food Storage by the Week

I created a printable Food Storage By the Week Calendar some years ago & find it to be quite handy when trying to work on our long-term storage.

Here is a link to a PDF that can be printed:

Honeyville Farms

I saw some adds for Honeyville Farms on T.V. awhile back, so we ventured over there the other day. I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of products available! Their staff is very knowledgeable & very friendly! I was not sure what to expect so we brought our stroller, but they have standard carts & flatbed carts, so save the space in your trunk for goodies & leave the stroller at home.  They offered us samples of their freeze dried fruits & vegetables (the pineapple is AMAZING) & they hold classes each month on a variety of topics. I called a friend in Idaho who does a lot of bulk shopping & has a great list of "never pay more than..." & on her list 50 lbs. of unbleached flour should never cost more than $35, but she never pays more than $30; at Honeyville Farms I paid $20.46 which is roughly 41 cents a pound. I have not priced Wal-Mart recently, but Costco runs about a dollar a pound for 40 pounds already in a food safe bucket (even with the cost of a new bucket only I paid 57 cents & I also got 50 pounds not 40. If you are interested in going & have any questions please call me!
