Have a self resuppling food supply...what I mean by that is have....
12 chickens and 1-2 roosters that breed hens set aside..so the eggs hatch and you get more chickens, eat the unfertilized eggs and as you grow the
amount of chicken, butcher a few along the way...always keeping a rooster to keep you with new chicks.
Do the same with 2-3 cows and 2-3 pigs.
You'll need about 8-10 acres of land for this, but with a garden and canning you will have 98% of what you need for food. Cows produce milk, make
cheese, butter you get cream when you let the milk set for a few hours on top...ladel it off and make use of it.
If you let the animals reproduce you keep food plentful.
The things you'll need stocked are, canning supplies, seasonings and other misc. items for cooking and curing meats.
Its also great to do now, because it saves you thousands of dollars by having theses things now.
I had $1000 dollars total in a cow...sold 1/2 for $500 and kept the other half...I was out of freezer space....lol
It was 1400 lbs hide bones and guts..say 400 lbs aprox. So I had almost 1000 lbs of meat. 500 for me ...500 sold.
so for a dollar a pound I had steaks...rib eye,t bone...ect, burger, minute steack, roasts, beef tips...all for a dollar a pound...I figure with all
that meat I saved an easy $1500...plus no chemicals in it...I know what it was fed, and everything it ate, plus I vac packed it, so it stays fresher
longer.
If you cannot do this, then try to get to where you can, or have a friend from the country do it and sell you some for a lot less than a store...plus
you can also can it...
