What about the things we can't grow?

There will be some things we don't have enough land to grow or are not readily grown here..

My plan is to hook up with ome organic farmers I heard of in Ohio and go there once or twice a year to get flour, oats,a variety of dried beans -and to order 50 lbs bags of wild , white and brown rice .

We will just buy enough white and brown sugar to cover us for 2 or 3 years and seal that up air tight in mylar bags.
We have our own honey and molasses and will grow stevia .

We will buy a large quantity of salt -in rock form as well as in "morton" boxs!

We will have to learn to see if we can grown and make what we need  for beer-- for liquor and wine we will have fruit trees and grape vines ..maybe make vodka from potatoes??- we will see huh?!

I don't know about wheat and oats- we may need to acquire some larger fields

Olive oil we will have to purchase of course-we have butter and lard..I bet our arteries will love that-lol...

I plan to stock up on at last 3 years of canned foods -and gourmet items -herbs,vinegars,olives and pickles-oils, canned fishes and crab-items  not easily grown or imports as  chef are important to have on hand...

CHOCOLATE-oh my goodness.. we gotta think chocolate BIG time- yep... we can't raise everything and of course even in a SHTF scenario - commerce will rise up- it just may be a tad scanty in the"ooohhh -this is what I want to eat" department for abit!!-lol!!!

OK so we will talk more later!! Love n light!
