Food Storage

Back in May we bough a ton of food at Sam's Club for our food storage. There was talk of a trucker strike because of the high price on gasoline. We took some saving money and bought some food at Sam's to can for our food storage. Finally the third week in December we were able to get the portable canner from the Bishop's storehouse to can our food at home. We have pinto beans, sugar, flour, rice, hot cocoa and some really yummy apple chips. We did this together as a family and tried to teach the kids the importance of food storage.





Brandon hard at work at the canner;



Sydnee's job was to put the labels on the cans;




Colby's job was to stack them in the boxes and then tape the boxes shut;



Here is a small portion of what we accompished today;
