I hope that you have been topping off your pantry. I made this video with some great ideas from my friends on different ways to build your everyday food supply and keep it rotated. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/EpkoCGIQV3U

Here is the secret to a 90-day food supply that never goes to waste: store what you eat, and eat what you store. You do not have to do it all today. You just have to start. But it is time to get serious ... VERY SERIOUS!

This week, add one extra item to your cart. Write down your family’s favorite meals. Create a space to store your food. Small steps become a 90-day supply, and a 90-day supply brings real peace of mind.

When hard times arrive, you will be ready, and you will be able to help the people around you. We can get through these challenges together. I've compiled a list of posts and videos that you might find helpful as you prepare.

Thanks for being part of the solution!

Our pets are part of our family, and we need to prep for them in our long-term food plan too. Dry kibble has a short shelf life, but you can freeze-dry food for your pets that will last for years. My daughter asked me to freeze-dry chicken for her cat, and I realized how simple it is to make clean, healthy, shelf-stable treats right at home.

I purchased chicken breast on sale (40 pound box for $1.49 a pound) and turned 4 pounds of it into 7 bags of chicken breast bites with the new Harvest Right Countertop 360. Packaged for long-term storage in pint-sized Mylar bags. A little preparation today means peace of mind for everyone at your table, whether they walk on two legs or four.

If the grid, the water, and the internet all went down, could your family last 90 days? The Pentagon is mandating that every base in the country become completely independent of the grid for 90 days. We’re asking it of every home. FORTRESS America includes every home being completely independent for 90 days.

Watch our latest video https://youtu.be/2U0G4ZxDhgs Let's stand independent and make our communities more resilient. Let's all be part of the solution!

Food prices and food availability have been on my mind, and I’d love to hear what you’re doing about it. Here’s what I did this week: Becky texted me a deal on a 40-pound box of chicken at $1.49 a pound. I cooked it, freeze-dried it, and sealed it in meal-size Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers. Done in one weekend. Cooked chicken breast chunks that will store for many years.

That's not the end of it. I took one of those totes and gave it to a friend who doesn't own a freeze-dryer. I'm not prepared until my neighbors are prepared. This neighbor is a huge part of my little community and blesses our lives every day. We all have different talents and resources. Sharing them strengthens all of us.

What’s the best food deal you’ve stocked up on lately? Share it below! 👇

To freeze, or not to freeze? If you freeze your grains before packaging them for long-term storage, you need to watch this video! Oxygen-free means bug-free. Learn how to use oxygen absorbers, how to test them before you trust them, and which foods to store with them (flour, pasta, brown rice) and which to skip (salt and sugar).

You don’t have to wait for the perfect budget, the perfect space, or the perfect season to start preserving food. Harvest Right just released a countertop freeze dryer designed for homes without room for the big machines. Amanda shows the full setup, her honest thoughts on noise and placement, and what the price really means for your family.

Watch it here on The Provident Gardener: https://youtu.be/5JpK5zw2C1Q.

Harvest Right: check out the Countertop 360 and their other freeze dryers and accessories. affiliates.harvestright.com/4067.html. This is an affiliate link, and buying through it is a great way to support our channel. Thanks!

Here is the link to the simple setup instructions Amanda followed in this video:

It's time to make sure that our pantries are well stocked! I love freeze-drying, but there are so many other ways to make sure that you can feed your family. Do what you can, with what you have.

Opportunity knocks, and we answered with a resounding YES, PLEASE! It’s hunting season, and our hunter friends offered us two boxes of their venison. Hard times are here, and every opportunity to build our pantry matters. Our freezer was full, so the meat needed to be preserved right away, either by pressure canning or freeze drying. We chose to freeze dry it.

Three lessons from this blessing:

**Be a good neighbor. Look for those who could benefit from your abundance.
**Be ready when opportunity comes. Having the skills and supplies to preserve food on hand means you can say yes.
**Live in gratitude. Receive generosity with thankful hearts, then pass the blessings on.

We freeze dried all of this meat for our “starving college student” kids, who have no freezer space and no room in their budgets for luxuries. This venison will become many meals for them.

The tools that made it possible (affiliate links):
🔹 PackFreshUSA (Best place for Mylar bags and oxygen absorbers) packfreshusa.com/?rfsn=7503114.ecc85c Use promo code PROVIDENT to receive 10% off.
🔹 Blue Alpine Freeze Dryers bluealpinefreezedryers.com/providentprepper Use the promo code PROVIDENT and get 5% off.
🔹 Harvest Right Freeze Dryers affiliates.harvestright.com/901.html

A huge thank you to our friends, the Craguns, for their generosity and amazing hunting skills. Thank you for being part of the solution!

Is there a skill you’re building now so you’re ready when opportunity knocks?

A hard freeze is in the forecast, and your pepper plants are running out of time. Peppers can’t handle temperatures below 40°F, but they are tender perennials. With a little TLC, one plant can feed your family for 2-4 years. Dig, prune, and pot them up this weekend, and you can be harvesting again in about 30 days!

Watch the full rescue on The Provident Gardener:https://youtu.be/0hbSQQ9tanw. A few hours of hard work today will pay off big this spring.
