Preserve Food All Year, Fast & Easy for $4 Per Month
If I have to save the white race by showing one white person how to make and keep his own food, then that's what I'll do.
What if I told you that you could easily, quickly preserve your own garden harvest for up to a year for as little as $4 per month without drying your food? Not only can you grow all year, but you can.
You'll never start a kitchen garden if you think all the effort will go to waste, if you think you'll be out there weeding every week, if it costs more than it's worth, and if you think you have to come in from a sweaty day of harvesting all day, and then spend a hot, sweaty weekend boiling jars and canning a year's supply of your family's food all night. Let me assure you...
If you even touch one jar you're wasting everyone's time.
This is the modern age. We have the technology.
Canning is a last resort. Not everything needs to be canned.
You can have ever-bearing perennials and grow 3 to 4 seasons out of the year with a dirt-cheap, mobile greenhouse, (The $20, DIY mico-greenhouse video shows you how to grow thousands of dollars of crops per year in the space the size of your driveway. Even on your driveway. Helps to know the business side.)
Your squash and yams will store at room temperature all winter virtually untouched, for the most part, your carrots and things can stay in the ground until you want to eat them, and that leaves a tiny little percentage of your food that needs to be preserved.
You want food. Good food. Clean food. Food that money can't buy.
You're fermenting cabbage into sauerkraut so it tastes better, lasts longer, and needs no refrigeration. You're pickling cucumbers because you like pickles.
I have a can of pumpkin for making pie. You know what? In 20 years, I will still have that same, unopened can of pumpkin. It will probably be sitting next to a real pumpkin or squash all year. No need to can squash. It already lasts as long as it needs to last.
But you don't need to can everything. This is not about canning. Canning is to be avoided. It's a last resort. It's optional. It's not the best choice for your delicious green beans anyway, it's slow, inconvenient, and it's too much like work.
In order to save your life from the coming famine, I've got to get you to dip a toe into the water quickly.
For example, growing ever-bearing strawberries that grow like weeds is easy, healthy, saves tons of money, apparently cures cancer, and it's fun. Technically, it's food. In theory, you could live off of nothing but strawberries for a long time, if you had to.
If so, it's the last thing you'd ever need to plant. Everything else is optional. Famine solved, on with your day. Why add canning to the process if you don't WANT TO?
Oh, my Lord! It's so much easier! It's child's play.
You don't need to get the whole sewing circle of grannies together to tap into their combined hundreds of years experience in canning strawberry jams.
You can freeze all your peas, green beans, berries and get the full benefit in less time than it takes to run to the store for a basked of fresh produce. It's down right convenient.
I know I will NEVER convince you to spend days and weekends sweating over hot jars, freaking out about bocholism, ending up with a bad product that tastes terrible.
That stuff is just for showing off what a green thumb you have and brag about the size of your pantry. But you don't need to be fancy. No one will judge you.
When you've got two or three kinds of food growing in your yard, that's two or three kinds more than everyone else in the famine.
I know a few guys around here who've got an apple tree. Just one tree. That's it. They're never going to grow another thing in their lives. But as long as you've got that one tree, you're safe. You won't die. You might get real skinny for a few years, but you probably won't die.
Also, you just saved some money on groceries. You've left extra for the widow, the poor and the stranger, you've got surplus to give to the priest, the poor, and the food stores. If someone asks you for some food, you've can load them up a basket of apples really easily.
You're compliant with so many laws with one single seed or sapling. Maybe you did something fancy like grafting on a few proven varieties, but not necessarily.
In the Bible, it says there will be disease, famine, and war. You plant one fruit tree and you're down to two things to worry about instead of three. Is that beautiful or what?
But I think maybe you'll want to grow a year's supply of tomatoes if I can prove there's a quick and easy alternative to canning them. We lived for ages without canning.
Raisins, for example. Well, they're nothing but grapes that got left out in the sun. That's all. They're still good.
Nobody is stressing out about canning grapes, man. There's no need. If you passed out in your vineyard and woke up after the harvest, or wandered off doing making stupid mistakes in the fall, you'd still come home and have a bunch of bite-sized snacks all winter.
God is very generous.
Raisins can be re-hydrated, too. They can even be used in making wine. Just don't ask me how I know this. And wine is alcohol, right? Dunk things in alcohol and they're preserved. Drop a bunch of fruity, washed-off stuff in your wine barrel and it's going to last awhile, with or without refrigeration.
Ah, crap. I just taught you how to make strawberry preserves accidentally. That's how easy it is.
And freezing is just as simple. Toss it in a bag and freeze it.
NO, you don't need special equipment or a vacuum-sealer machine. Works ok with your existing freezer. For long-term storage (for a year or so) use a chest freezer. They're cheap and efficient.
My grandma knew all about canning. It's a method of last resort. Yeah, it's ok to can some things if you have to, but it's so quick and easy to freeze foods instead and keep them tasting delicious, quickly tossing them in some cheap zip-lock bags that if you can freeze or freeze-dry something as perishable as a tomato, that's the way to go.
How about those ripe tomatoes, guys?
0:44 Just three quick cut and you're done! Slightly faster, but if you're going to be growing lots of tomatoes, it pays to save time.
1:50 Let's get started with the ripe tomatoes you just picked from your garden
2:00 Cut out the cores and cut off the gross bits
2:30 Don't keep the end rot
3:10 Leave the cherry tomatoes alone
3:20 Put them in a freezer bag
3:45 Skins come right off the thawed tomatoes, great for spaghetti sauce
4:10 One little tip to seal freezer bags without a vaccuum sealer, but just as good
5:02 How long will they last this way? More than a year! Delicious.
5:15 Get them frozen solid on the cookie sheet before putting them in the chest freezer
Fair Use Tip: You don't want a self-defrosting freezer for long-term storage. You'll be happier, safe electricity, and have longer-lasting food using an old school chest freezer that doesn't auto-defrost.
You can get one used on Craigslist for less than $75. It will last for years.
It doesn't need to be the latest model, although they've been making better and better. There's not a huge electric bill penalty for getting a big one. Just $4 a month or so.
They're at least 20% more efficient than the vertical self-defrosting freezer you open up every day.
Freeze!
Yes, you can quickly, cheaply and easily store tomatoes without hours of canning. Yes, they taste fine for up to a year later without a lot of effort, heat, and struggle.
Because it's easy to store it, you'll be willing to grow it. A short little growing season can give you a year's worth of your favorite foods and plenty left over for your neighbors.
Hang some tomatoes. Super easy once you have it hanging. Needs more frequent watering than a traditional potted plant, regular maintenance and fertilizer, but basically no weeding and resists predators like slugs.
Hang some easy strawberries.

Even easier: You can make plants for years in a $3 bag of soil. Available everywhere.
With a $20 micro greenhouse and $3 bags of soil, less than the cost of a grocery run, you're ready to plant any starts or seedlings you want, even if it's not quite the right time of year to start them.
If you know what you're doing, yes.
Grow it. Preserve it. Eat and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
If $20 is too rich for your blood, you might be able to build 2 or 3 greenhouses for that price using an even less expensive method.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

This is the modern age. We have the technology.
One day we may lose that technology, but for now, we have it and we should use it while we do.

And preserving it isn't your primary goal. Maximizing nutrition might be.
You want food. Good food. Clean food. Food that money can't buy.

Way better to toss them in the freezer so they last.

I'm not going to try that nonsense on you.

The Lord is pouring out all these blessings from one little tree.

Is It Worth The Time And Money?
If you know what you're doing, yes.
"It is a hell of a lot cheaper to grow your own. I had 60 tomato plants last year grown hydroponically. I got well over 2000 tomatoes. My cost for nutrients and seed was less than $40 for the season. So it cost me less than 2 cents per tomato. Try getting a tomato at the store for that. Also homegrown tomatoes have better flavor and more nutrients than store bought." - Joseph HineIf you don't know what you're doing and don't track the money you're spending, then no.
One of the funniest books I’ve ever read was “The $64 Tomato.” It’s about a couple in upstate NY who decided to be ‘gentlemen farmers’ and after a couple of years did the math on what it cost them to actually harvest 1 tomato
