In the homesteading world, when it comes to food, we all talk a lot about topics like how to grow your own food, preservation, and cooking. But what is often overlooked is the storage, organization, and management of all the food we have grown, preserved or stocked up.
In this week's Pantry Chat, Josh and Carolyn are sharing their thoughts and strategies on food storage organization. If you put up or buy in a lot of food, this can be a real challenge. Come hang out with us for a bit while we discuss different strategies for organizing your food storage systems for canning, dehydrating, freezing and more.
