I'm a Prepper Foodie ... with a "Group"

... all these years of researching, taking classes, experimenting, trying again ... being a foodie best fits with the passion I have for EATING and making sure the family around me will be able to eat too.  It's evolved over the years to love - love - loving being self sufficient, stocking an in-home pantry, growing our own food, understanding nutrition, finding deals and expanding local resources. 

The preparedness part is really synonymous with my love of eating.  I can't tolerate the thought of ever being in a situation that my little ones would go hungry.  And as intolerable as being hungry would be; the monotony of typical food storage selections wouldn't be fun either.  So, I began to look for ways to economically acquire foods that would create variety in my prepper plan.  I quickly found that we had much more leverage for pricing if we could order in larger quantities.  So - the group ordering hub was created - the parent company is The Chilly Lizard Trading Post and the store front is www.ichowlocal.com

In a nut shell; Group Ordering and information sharing is ...
  • me finding products as close to the supplier, farmer & grower as possible;
  • letting other's know;
  • collecting the orders
  • and then bringing it in. 
By joining forces in this way - we expand our resources, our connections, our purchasing power.   I appreciate your personal efforts to be more healthy, to prepare your homes and families.  You inspire me and strengthen my resolve to continue expanding our network.

Here are some upcoming products we will be ordering in the next couple of months:
  • Honey
