I think you are wise to have a variety of storage methods. I haven’t thought about butter or eggs in a dried form. We have a few chickens that my son has been raising. He got them in grade school and we’ve had the eggs from them. He actually sold them to make money as he was too young to get a job. He’s now in high school and still does the “chores” but we haven’t been selling the eggs. I’ve also been trying to buy butter and freeze it, but a dried source seems prudent. I will check in to that. Have you tried cooking or using it yet?

Our plan is also to raise some chickens and whatever else, when we move out of the city into the mountains. The canned stuff is our backup plan.

No, I haven’t tried it yet! I really should, but hate to open a large can just to try it. When the time comes and if it’s all we’ll have, I won’t complain if it’s not great! I did buy a can of wheatberries (before discovering Winco has them in their bulk section) to practice making bread.

Freezing stuff is good too. Where our cabin is, I’m not feeling too comfy about the power. Even in normal times, the power goes out several times a year.
