Feed a family of 4 for 1 year, for less than $300

That is precisely what we did. W e raise rabbits, live on a lake full of fish, ducks and geese. Lots of deer etc. and the garden for those fresh and canned fruits and veggies. W e store several hundred pounds of rice, boxed potatoes, Raman noodles etc. Addin our meats and veggies, fruit etc. My two year supply of staples gets stretched to 4 years by doing this.

 

Fat is difficult because it does not store well, is scarce in freeze dried and dehydrated foods, and is almost absent from most green vegetables. I store some refrigerated which I rotate; olive and coconut.

 

I have cases of red feather canned butter. it has no expiration date.

 

I canned 12 pounds two years ago in pint jars and so far, so good.
