Dried, Canned, Frozen, Fresh in that order of preference for us anyways. Off-screen half size chest freezer we've finally just finished the frozen sour cherries from the backyard tree last year that's now budding for spring. Besides that it usually has a bunch of frozen baked potatoes from my backyard again, pork cuts that were on sale, Mennonite colony DIY chicken. Vacuum packing keeps away the freezer burn. I have the choice of three discount grocery/markets near me where I can buy fresh produce it's just b-grade/misshapen. I've been slowly adding more backyard planters too but I focus on fruit tree/berry bushes since I'm a shite veggie gardener. Too lazy for the upkeep so just hardy stuff that I can't easily kill from neglect in our short growing season, hardiness zone 3B. Potatoes are easy at least but we ran out half way through winter.
Bonus: This week's slop pots. Metal pot used textured vegetable protein: https://i.postimg.cc/xdm5S0c8/signal-2026-05-14-144201.jpg
Canned is usually the worst option in terms of both nutrition and palatability.
I agree with you, but it seems that for many people, convenience is more important than almost anything else. Which is exactly how the food industry makes most of their profits.
Nice set up 🤙
I can't believe I'm excited about my own stock pile , I hope we get rocked by an asteroid soon
