I accomplished that with my last delivery, now I am just ordering enough to restock and rotating out the meat that is there.

If there was an issue where we could not purchase from them, we should have enough food to last us about 5 months or longer if we were forced to conserve.

I just told my wife I wanted a larger freezer, I saw on in Home Depot this morning that was 3X what we currently have, IIRC ours is a 9 cubic foot freezer it is purely used for proteins though.

Produce we get locally as needed and also my wife uses Misfits for weekly deliveries.

We have a few small family farms near us that we visit once every month or two.
This is the one I have coming. I just noticed it's now backordered with a tentative April 30th delivery in my area. Maybe for once I was finally ahead of the curve!
