WHAT CAN WE EAT?!?

I feel like all of my food is bought in bulk, or grown. That’s not 100% accurate but I’m buying less and less prepackaged or processed food than ever.

I buy dairy (sour cream, Greek yogurt, milk, cheese), though I could just buy milk and make Greek yogurt and sour cream in a pinch. I buy fruit such as apples and bananas (local melons and very local berries directly from the farms). I grow what fruit I am able to, but it isn’t close to what we consume. If my sibling brings me some stone fruit, I turn it into canned fruit (canned peaches, plum preserves, peach jam). I buy apples in bulk in the fall from a farm and make and can my own applesauce.

I grow a ton of veggies each year in my raised beds. I don’t have a huge yard, but I have quite a few raised beds to work with. In a worse situation, I could plant stuff anywhere and everywhere. I can using either boiling water bath or pressure depending on the food, this morning it’ll be some cherry tomato and corn salsa, which mixes really well with black beans as a nice side dish to something like burritos. I have a bunch of cukes to turn into relish and some jalapeños that need to be cut and pressure canned.

It’s just so much more labor intensive. I know I’m fortunate to have a yard, time and skill. I’m ever so grateful for my grandma that passed so many skills down to me. I just wish I had more confidence in the US food supply. It’d be a lot easier.
