Good to know.

I don’t think there’s an LDS canning place nearby, but we can vacuum pack in plastic, or vacuum in mason jars. Would that work?

Of course, we can freeze; but freezing isn’t a guaranteed way of keeping long-term.

For doing at home, I think that Mason Jars are the best. Mice can chew through plastic and mylar. The can’t get through the glass jars and metal lids.

Initially, I did put some stuff in mylar and put that in plastic 5 gallon buckets, but then I read about others having rodent issues with that. So then the next batch of stuff, I ordered from the LDS on-line store.

Their stuff was less expensive than any other canned stuff at the time I was ordering-so you might want to check it out. They have added some things like carrots, potatoes, and apples since I originally ordered stuff. They also have portable water filters, mylar bags and a few items like that.
