This Week’s Prep

Posted by Rick

They say that the longest journey begins by taking the first step.  I subscribe to that. But I also see that if I have taken that first step I am then farther than those who don’t take a step.  And in homesteading that is a big part of it. We need to push ourselves just a little at times to make sure that we are in the right direction. So,  each Friday I will post what that step was for me this week and you can share as well (in the comments).

Wheat! I drove to an Amish bulk store on the Kentucky/Tennessee border and got 150 pounds of wheat. It looks like a lot when we load it in the car, but I know that it won’t last that long. We use a lot of wheat at our home, and buying it in bulk really saves us. We paid about $85 (a LOT more expensive than last year) which works out to be 53 cents a pound.  That should keep us in fresh bread for about 6 months.
