Again, we are working on storing grains for the long term. So we are looking for grains that have a shelf life of 30+ years. This shelf life is achieved both by the product itself and the packaging you use to keep out moisture, etc. I'd continue to encourage you to read the material on providentliving.org, if you have not already. It's good stuff.
Feel free to be using your food storage budget this week to stock up on more grain (any that fit the above criteria) or to save up for our trip the the HSC on May 22nd.
Sometimes it is nice to take each week and focus on one kind of grain. It you like that approach, this week, let's focus on our rolled oats. Again, this is a discussion, you may want to have with your family. If we need to be putting away 300 lbs of grain for each adult (and some percentage of that for each child), how much of that do you want to be in oats?
From last week, I'll repeat that on
Tuesday, May 22nd, I'll be leading groups over to the HSC for any of you
interested in doing some of your shopping there. We'll meet in the church
parking lot both at 2 p.m. and at 7 p.m. Please let me know if you are
interested in coming with us, so I know who to expect. If we have a large group
going, we may need to alert the HSC staff so they will have enough volunteers on
hand to help us.
Have a great grain filled week!
