Long Term Food Storage Methods
Long Term Food Storage
- Traditionally methods of storing canned food and dried food in containers
- Some Practices derived from Church of LDS (Mormon) who advise members keep years supply of food
- Recently LDS counseled members to start with 3 month supply food storage
- General population interested in food storage for preparedness are utilizing LDS knowledge and resources
- Freeze Dried Food is an easy alternative to these traditional food storage methods for those in urban areas with limited space.
- Most freeze dried food distributors located in Utah or Oregon that had mainly served LDS members now have grown to have a wide customer base across USA.
- Online sales of freeze dried food as a long term food reserve have increased by over 500% in 2008.
According to a poll question currently running on my site during October, if money were no object, many would buy long term storage food. Though it’s hard to know for sure, I’d guess results wouldn’t have gone that way just a few months ago.

Speaking of freeze dried foods, Thrive is an amazing line of products sold by http://www.shelfreliance.com Really good tasting, quality food.
Freeze dried food is amazing for backpacking. I’ll never go back to carrying heavy cans of food on my back if it’s available as freeze dried.
