We just started expanding our homesteading efforts this past year. We added 6 backyard chickens, then 4 more, and expanded our garden. We might only live on a quarter acre but I work at making the most of it.
Like I mentioned earlier since we are just expanding our efforts, there is a glaring lack of canned goods from the previous years gardens. While I am not an alarmist I have been through a few hurricanes and blizzards now. I personally want to be prepared.
As I grow my own canned food stores I am also working on slowly building an emergency supply of non-perishables to keep us in good stock should an emergency occur. I thought it might be helpful to share this list with you! Here is a list of non-pershable items I plan on stocking up on as I either find them on sale weekly or have a little wiggle room in the budget.
