		<description><![CDATA[ I got a pressure canner for Christmas 2010 and for the last 9 months I&#8217;ve been canning meat almost weekly. Sometimes I&#8217;ll do 3 batches in one day so I&#8217;ll have a month&#8217;s worth stockpiled. This helped a lot during the 100+ degree heat of the summer.
In addition to meat, I also regularly can [...]]]></description>

The center area of our land is fairly flat and clear. We&#8217;ve decided a section of this will be our primary homestead area in the next year or two. 
We&#8217;re not moving the camper over there until we&#8217;ve got a well, so that we can have enough water to quickly get some trees and vines [...]]]></description>

So today is a small grocery shopping day and I organized my pantry, then got to thinking about food storage, rotation and various other related things.
The above picture is what I think of as my &#8220;back pantry.&#8221; It holds primarily bulk goods and extras &#8212; flour, sugar, cornmeal, oats, cocoa, pasta, beans, etc.

As part of my ongoing struggle to protect my food gardens from critters, I decided to try building a pallet garden. Technically it&#8217;s a pallet garden fence and while it&#8217;s too soon to tell how the plants will fare inside of it, I like it quite a bit

One of the most frustrating in our first year here has been the critters. We have bunny rabbits that run around, I&#8217;ve seen at least one jack rabbit, and we have ground squirrels too.

And it was successful!  
Some people call it canning butter but I call it bottling because I&#8217;m putting it up in canning jars &#8212; glass bottles &#8212; to be kept in the pantry. 
Butter hasn&#8217;t ben on sale lately so I finally broke down and bought some generic salted for $2.37 a pound at [...]]]></description>

If you&#8217;ve been thinking about starting your own grocery stockpile, you probably wonder where to start. The answer varies based on you, your family, and your goals. Many survivalists, preppers and mormons feel the best approach to building up a solid supply of emergency food quickly and inexpensively is to buy basics in bulk&#8230; their [...]]]></description>

When you live without refrigeration, you start looking for alternate ways to keep certain types of food. I&#8217;ve always been a little confused when people talk about eggs, butter and various fruits or veggies as perishable foods because in my experience that&#8217;s not generally the case. I&#8217;ve sat butter in a crock on the counter [...]]]></description>
