Food & Supplies, Medicines and Sundries - A One Year Plan

In 1996 I took a homesteading course at Idaho State University in which we received as part of our handouts a ONE YEAR PLAN on how to set aside all food, supplies, medicine and sundries a family would need in a year.

Here is the Table of Contents:
•Essentials of Home Storage
•How to Store
•Wheat
•Sprouts
•Powdered Milk and Cheese
•Honey
•Soybeans
•Dehydrated Foods
•Home Canning
•Sourdough
•Gardening

•Fuel
•Soaps and Cleaning Supplies
•Sewing Needs
•Emergency Pack
•First Aid
