I can't be the only organic eating hippie prepper out there, but gosh, it's sure hard to find long term organic food! I can easily get things like rice, wheat, etc., but what about freeze dried foods? Have you looked at the ingredients in MREs? I dread going regular grocery shopping because if it's not a whole food, chances are it has something we are trying to avoid eating in our family and the time I spend looking at labels easily doubles our shopping trips (not so much fun with 3 smalls tagging along). I can't even imagine where to get started on long term stuff.
A consultant for one type of freeze dried food told me their apples are organic but it's too costly to get certified. Are there others like that? My biggest wants are veggies and fruits. We will grow as much as we can, but I want to have things on hand for times when we can't grow or put up food, like if I'm hurt etc. etc. It'd be nice to have some ready meals too, but I'm guessing totally organic and MREs probably just aren't going to get along and make happy little edible packaged babies.
I can get some of the conventional stuff, but this is one of the reasons I've put off getting serious about prepping. If you eat what you store and we can only get long term conventional stuff but eat organic....well, you see my dilemma.
Too bad we can't freeze dry our own food...
Any ideas?
