Building An Emergency Food Stockpile

Helpful Links to get your started:

This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it is a starting place. Remember, it doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. Just start somewhere making small changes where you can.

Buckets and Lids:

You don’t have to buy buckets! We got ours for free, but here is a link to some if you want to purchase or want to buy bigger containers. The only thing that matters is that they are air tight and food safe.

Food Items:

Again, you don’t have to buy powdered food or even from a “bulk store”, but these are some of my favorites if you choose to.

Azure Standard is more of a bulk buying supplier and has lots of options if you have food allergies or need a specialized diet.

Other Supplies:

These are the exact canners I have. Mine were passed down, and not bought here, but I recommend both of these brands and know well how they function.

These are great if you want to invest in long term storage!

This is a great book to start with if you have never canned before or are still intimidated by the process of canning.
