Food Security For The Faint Of Heart

What Will You Eat When the Big One Hits?

Where would you find your groceries if your supermarket's shelves were suddenly empty? The threat of earthquakes, trucker strikes, power outages or a global market collapse make us vulnerable like never before. With spiralling fuel prices and unstable world economies, individuals and communities are demanding more control over their food supply.

Beekeeping, Woodlot care and seed saving coming up!

Just a few more interesting tidbits will be coming up before we close down active classes for winter! September classes will be listed in the first few days of the month. Check us out then!

Kind Words

Avoid the Zombie Apocalypse (or, you know - bad weather)

Unlike a lot of books in this field - (Food Security for the Faint of Heart) ISN'T a hysterical threatening account of how we are doomed to huddle in caves clutching a last lone can of spam as the zombie hordes overwhelm the world. It's a calm, lighthearted, but well written manual for dealing with the simple fact that, well, crap happens.

No matter where you live, at some point you are going to have to deal with either a blizzard, a blackout, or just a night when the roads are too slick to venture forth to the grocery story... and how to prepare for those issues ahead of time. The moment the ice storm starts is a wee bit too late to realize you have nothing in the cupboard - and the author works really hard to explain how to avoid that scenario.

The world is too full of easily hysterical people who panic when the rain falls. Buy this book and avoid the herds of people who only remember AFTER the hurricane is sighted that they must, right now, this minutes, go to the store and buy water.

When even the government is telling folks that they need to be able to manage for a few weeks (or months) in times of crisis - this is a great book to start walking you through the process of preparing. Preparing for what?

Life.

And this book proves it doesn't have to be any more dramatic than that.
