beavercreekmom Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Hello- I have been reading and learning here since last year when I accidentally stumbled across this site while trying to find out how much bulk pectin to put in jam recipe. Long ago I had bought lots of extra food to be ready for Y2K, but when that was a bust, we went ahead and ate it all! Now I wish that we had at least stayed with the idea of keeping some food in storage all the while. We do have some home preserved stuff, but not near enough. We own a small organic dairy and we garden, butcher, can and freeze, but not enough to keep 8 people fed until the next harvest. I have lots of questions so I thought I had better introduce myself and get asking! I do want to thank you all already for all I have learned since I "stumbled" in! Beavercreekmom Link to comment

beavercreekmom Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hey- Thank you all for such a warm welcome! Just a quick question - does anyone know of a supplier of good quality reasonably priced beeswax? Just so you can be happy along with me I'll tell you that my husband and son finished my plant stand today, so maybe this year my seedlings won't look so pathetic! Link to comment
sassenach Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 One site PeakCandle is pretty good. Others may have other suggestions! It is a candle making and soap making site I believe. Link to comment

Homebody Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Welcome BCM, glad you stumbled in. I stumbled in myself last August while looking for food storage ideas. I've learned a lot from the good folks on MrsS and know you will too. Link to comment
