For anyone who watches our physical and political environments, this page is dedicated to the belief that a person, family, or community prepared for the worst will do the best and survive the hardest of times with an ample stock of basic, not fancy foods. On this page I have put together the very basic foods that we consider essential to our diets. What we forage, grow, raise, produce and hunt that suits our needs. This is a Northern Minnesota forage list and much of what grows here can be had elsewhere. Many are foods and medicinals. Additions in the foraging area would be appreciated and posted for those outside this climate.
Forage Stinging Nettle Plantain Dandelion Chickweed Hawthorne These are used fresh or dried in cooking and for nutritional teas. Grow Tomatoes Onions Dried, canned, sauce, juice, etc. If we could only plant two things, these would be it. Raise Sheep Chickens Geese Goat Pigs A beef or two (new herd of Herefords 2009) Rabbits (new, 2009) Produce Milk Eggs Wool Meat Cheese (basic) Buy Wheat Corn Beans Rice Honey Salt If we had nothing else available we would do very nicely on this list as it provides everything we need and we do live entirely with these foods as our foundation. |

Undomestic advice
Greetings, I invite all browsers to comment on their interests in the topics on these pages. As I hate to cook and most anything else in the domestic line, I search and use those things which are most expedient, useful and of the greatest benefit to my family while trapping me indoors for the least amount of time. All the items I post are from recipes that I have used, herbs I have dried and used in the ways stated. Herbs collected and put up for future use that I have not tried will be noted. These pages represent a way for us to express our values, beliefs, and talents for surviving the upcoming times of tribulation. I hope that you will share your ideas so that we can share them with others. Nancy
