Very good!................you might also want to look into "oven canning" and making your own hand/dish and laundry soap. (You can store just 3ingredients,taking up about as much room as two regular boxes of Tide that will make up to a year's worth of laundry soap. also, have you practiced saving your own seeds? And know how to knit? know how to make "quick" hats,mittens.etc from old wool sweaters? know how to salt down pork and beef for storage, etc etc?).................yes,I make cheese too. I make cottage,ricotta and farmer's cheese....and save the whey which I mix with V-8 to drink. MUCH better and cheaper than commercial whey powder. I,m a great grandmother. This has given me a boost in strength...able to do stairs and get up out of chairs without struggle...........also, do you know which "wild" plants are edible in your area?(I am now watching anxiously for the fiddle heads - and then dandelios to come up 😄

I’m getting ready to plant pumpkin and sunflower seeds that I harvested from my own stuff last year.
