And buy heirloom seeds and learn how to save seeds yourself.
Hybrids don’t breed true.
Very true.
I also have a huge collection of canning jars, extra lids, and several pressure cookers and water bath canners.
I purchased quite a bit of wheat, rye, buckwheat, oats and barley directly from another farmer that I can use as seed, sprouts, flour, or process for other food.
I can go totally off grid if necessary.
This is not about stockpiling, but sustainability. I have enough fish in the pond, stream and river. Enough wild game.
I grew up a poor hillbilly. Learned the edible wild foods from my parents as we harvested and canned them.
I’m not concerned at all. I trust God to guide me through it, and if I don’t survive, that’s ok too.
Growing up, we used an outhouse and carried buckets of water from the spring. Every hot meal, you built wood fire in the cookstove year round. I still have the old farmhouse cookstove.
It’s about sustainability, helping others, and building community. Primarily, it’s about guiding people to fins a relationship with Jesus.
