some grain resources...

Shared in The Homestead Kitchen

Food Grade Buckets:  Uline  they have 5-gallon pails for $3.99 each....you can spend about $450 and get a skid lot of 120.
Here are their glass jars with screw top lids....

Honeyville Grain has great prices...shipping is built into the price, and while some might think it's rather high priced, keep looking...it's about on par for current prices when you can even find the grains in bulk quantities.  I rather panicked at the prices myself...50# of fructose for near $60????  Good grief!  I was upset at paying $35!  Of course, their long grain white and brown rice isn't looking too bad right now at around $60 for 50#.

Paul's Grains has some good prices...


short list...do add more links in a comment and let me know where you find the best prices yet!

I had to giggle when I read that you know about Honeyville grain - that is right around the mountain from me in a town not even big enough to have a main street! (okay, I exaggerate, a little!)

Ofcourse, we are still buying from Michael at Basic Bulk Health Foods in Tn. The grain has gone through the roof but I can still get it easily and he delivers to our group.
Blessings,
Trixi

~~I need to call them and get another price list, I know my last one is certainly out-dated (it's 2006!). I had spoken to them about having anything I order sent to their new shop there between Adamsville and Savannah for me to pick up.

Honeyville Grain is where I've planned my big pantry order. Now I just need to actually send in my order. I ordered from them earlier this year...quick shipping too.
We had a great time on Saturday with all of you!!
Blessings,
Leigh-Ann

~~I had to come home and look them up when you mentioned them. Not bad at all. I need to take stock of what amounts I currently have here and make my plans. There isn't much point in counting on the grocery store to have things I might want in bulk later on.

No indulgences of self will can be trivial, no denial unprofitable; Heaven or Hell depends on this alone. A parent who studies to subdue it in his child works together with God in the renewing and saving of their soul. The parent who indulges it does the devil's work, makes religion impractical, salvation unattainable, and does all that in him lies to damn his child, soul and body, forever.
Susanna Wesley

Our mission in life is not to go to some far-off foreign land, but to work at home and in our churches and home communities. Our goal should not be to leave behind riches and possessions, farms and homes for our children, but a priceless heritage they will cherish enough to work fervently to pass along to their children. It has been done for generations and with God's help it can still be done. In teaching our children, we are striving toward a deep understanding of who they are In Christ.
I am . . . a child of God, a gift to my parents and my country. I'm a person of great value because God made me.
I can . . . do all things through Christ who strengthens me. God has made me able to do everything required of me.
I ought . . . to do my duty to obey God, to submit to my parents and everyone in authority over me, to be of service to others, and to keep myself healthy with proper food and rest so my body is ready to serve.
I will . . . resolve to keep a watch over my thoughts and choose what's right even if it's not what I want.
