Of course we could get carried away with a million different things that we think may be needed to stock up on for an emergency. I will say, however, many of the convenience items really are less convenient when eating for health and long term storage.
Grains and Beans are the two biggest staples that will provide nutrition and long term sustainability for a preparedness pantry. Build your long term pantry around these items and you can cut the odd items down to a minimum.
Rice, wheat, spelt, millet, and oats are great for storage. All forms of beans provide protein and fiber. A pantry built around these and a few spices will go far to care for a family in a crisis.
We are getting a new stock of Organic Grains and Legumes (beans) this Friday. Be sure to stop by the store and get the Newsletter to keep up on all the in-coming inventory and sales, so that you can stock your pantry.
Best Blessings!

Popular Questions
What should you store to be prepared for an unexpected emergency?
Store enough drinking water, shelf-stable food, prescription medicines, and basic first-aid supplies for several days. Add flashlights, extra batteries, a battery-powered radio, phone chargers, and personal hygiene items. Keep these essentials together in a dry, accessible location so they are easy to find during a power outage or evacuation.
What food should you store to be prepared for a shortage or supply disruption?
Choose foods your household already eats, such as rice, beans, oats, pasta, canned vegetables, canned meat, and nut butter. Include a manual can opener and enough water for drinking and basic food preparation. Rotate older items into regular meals and replace them before their best-by dates to keep the supply usable.
How much water should you store to be prepared for an emergency?
Plan to store at least one gallon of water per person per day for drinking and sanitation, with a minimum three-day supply. Store additional water for pets, infants, older adults, or anyone with medical needs. Use sealed food-grade containers, label the fill date, and keep them away from direct sunlight and chemicals.
What household supplies are worth storing to be prepared for a power outage?
Keep flashlights, spare batteries, blankets, warm clothing, matches, a portable phone power bank, and a battery-operated radio on hand. Store shelf-stable meals that require little or no cooking, along with a safe method for heating water if appropriate. Avoid using generators, grills, or fuel-burning devices indoors because they can produce deadly carbon monoxide.
