But many of us stocked the freezer with inexpensive meat months ago, along with stocking a substantial dry pantry. We have enough to live on for a long, long time and so do many others. In the short term that is bad news because it means we won’t be buying much beyond fresh veggies and some dairy.
We harvest a kilo of fresh eggs every 3 days or so out of our micro-flock of 6 chickens, and my compost pile is full of leaves and cooking nicely, which will yield a bunch of fresh veggies next growing season.
Those fresh eggs are great aren’t they? We have a flock of around 30 chickens right now but a few will be going to the freezer soon, along with some of the ducks and some of the lambs. The freezer should be full. And the milk cow is raising two calves so the other freezer will be full next year...
