Save 45% on Augason Farms Honey Powder

October 3, 2022October 3, 2022 Kelly Gilbert No Comments

As most of you know I am always on the lookout for great deals on bulk and long-term food storage. I have especially become a fan of the Augason Farms products because most of their items have an unopened shelf-life of 20 to 30 years! When you buy long-term food storage you are protecting yourself from high inflation. Their stainless steel #10 cans are pest free and will survive most natural disasters because they even float!

For just $13.82 you get a 3-pound #10 can of honey powder. At just $1.38 an ounce, this deal will certainly not last long.

30-year shelf life, 340 servings total
3 lb, institutional size (#10) can
For emergency food storage, camping, or everyday use

Peace be with you,

Kelly

How to Age MRE Survival Food

September 25, 2022September 25, 2022 Kelly Gilbert No Comments

Good Sunday morning to you all! I found this Julien Date Calender that I thought I’d share with my prepper friends. I know there is a lot of confusion about how to properly date MREs. I think you will find this calendar to be most helpful. MREs are a great addition to your long-term food storage. Most MREs have a shelf-life of up to five years. All they need is to be stored in a safe, dry area that’s not affected by extreme temperatures. Many preppers have reported they are totally safe to consume for up to 10 years! Please keep in mind that you probably will experience some degree of flavor loss once past the expiration date.

Peace be with you,

Kelly

Prepper Corner: Canning Ghee

September 19, 2022September 25, 2022 Kelly Gilbert No Comments

Today I finally got motivated and canned three pounds of butter, better known as Ghee. Ghee is wonderful for long-term food storage. Processed correctly it can remain shelf stable for years. Ghee has a higher smoke point than butter at about 465º F compared to butter’s 350º F which makes it perfect for frying. I decided to can Ghee because of the threat of supply chain disruptions, inclement weather, and hyperinflation. As I stood in my kitchen I could almost hear my Grandma Gewerth saying: “Be prepared or be sorry.”

If you would like detailed instructions on how to can Ghee be sure to check out RoseRed Homesteads YouTube channel. Click here to access her detailed tutorial on how to can Ghee.

Peace be with you!
