It is hard to determine what a family needs for food storage. The church has a calculator that can be used for your basic long-term food storage. Click here to see it. I typed in my family values and we should have 1800 pounds of grains and 360 pounds of legumes by the time my kids eat as adults.
This month, I would like for everyone to take some time and figure out what you would like to have in your long-term storage or if you already have one, make sure that you have enough for your family and decide what needs to be replenished. Just focus on the basics grains, legumes and the other items offered by the church at the cannery. Hopefully by next month we can start getting groups together to go and get or food storage started.
Remember the church has cautioned us to stay within a budget for food storage. Don't feel that you need to get it all at once, but obtain it little by little. It is not a thing to go into debt for.
Click here for the church link to foods they offer. Make sure you plan for things that your family will eat. If your husband like mine doesn't like red wheat, try the white. If you don't have a wheat grinder and don't plan on getting one, you may want to focus on flour. Do what works for your family! You'll be blessed for doing your best and trying.
If you have any questions, suggestions, words of motivation etc. Please contact me (Miriam).
