Monday

Auguson Farms is what I started with. Canned pork, chicken.
Powdered creamer, milk, butter, eggs
Freezer full of 1/4 grass fed beef.
Lots of beans and rice.
Jars of PB and J.
Flour. 4 gallons of Olive Oil,
Coffee/Tea/Sugar
Auguson farm has a can of 30 different seeds I purchased.
Bought a dehydrator a year ago.
Had a load of chunky manure delivered last fall- Lasagna gardened with the soil.
Lots of cannabis seeds.
That's just a start.

We are in for a long difficult period of time.
