Freezing Information

 When we have food storage it should not just be in our closets or under our beds. In our food storage we should include our refrigerator and our freezers. We are told to at least have a 3 month supply of food for our families. Here is a link to find out what, how and how long you can freeze foods:
    USDA Food and Safety Inspection Service 

Just an example from this website :
