I am happy I got my grain order in 2 days ago and it has already been shipped. Whew!

I understand, I have finished vacuum sealing my beans I got in, I got wheat months ago, and have vacuum sealed it as well.

lol, the bean-splosion on the wood floor is classic. Gave me a chuckle, thanks for the pic.

[MartHale7]

Yeah… not all of the beans made it to bags 😉

I have a junk crock pot that i use for all the random stuff that hits the floor.

I take beans rice veggies from the days preparations and collect it for a few days.

When i have enough sustenance to be satisfied, I take nutritious weeds like grass, dandelions, nettles, and thistles. add that to the crock pot 1st to cook down into the liquid. Then add the dry food to soak up the nutrients. It teaches your chickens to eat things they would otherwise pass up, but is still edible for them. Mine will clip raw stinging nettles now happily, they are free ranging savages. I have pics somewhere’s of my chickens picking apart a snake.

The older your flock gets, the more they learn from each other.

I throw all the beans out where they can root and grow. Never know the beans may grow well here….

[MartHale7]

“Free ranging savages” yes that describes a chicken to a T 😉

You might want to check around local it’s amazing what’s tucked around in small places. Save the money on shipping whenever you can. I see several places selling bagged grains from local sources on craigslist.

[MartHale7]

That is right, look for restaurant supply, they often sell to the public. Myself I go with GMO free grain so I pay a bit more.

If you don’t want to go through the repacking for storage yourself this is a good place to buy, high quality grain. Cheaper if you can pick up locally but more expensive since they did the long term storage packaging for you.

We were blessed a few yrs ago to get soft white wheat for making everything but bread from Azure Standard. Great place to do business with!!

[MartHale7]

That is where my grain comes from. They are very prepper friendly.
