Hi Daryl,
I was in your neighborhood last week. We went to the Cheese Shop at Stuarts Draft. That is one of my favorite places to go, but I don't get to go often since it is about a 2 hour drive from Forest, where we live.
I bought some grains, enough to last several months. I stocked up on sunflower seeds also. My hubby gets a hot sauce. It is called Screaming Hornets. When we go, he buys a case of it.
Are you near the Green Valley Book Sale? I've been there a couple of times.
Eunice

Subject: [Homesteadingfamily] Storing grains-Hello Neighbor
Hello neighbor. I live in Harrisonburg. Born and raised for generations back.
ack sometime ago I did some research into storing grains, beans etc.
Learned that oxygen and moisture are the two killers. The oils make
hem rancid in oxygen. I store mine long term using a food saver
acuum sealing system (from Wal-Mart) about $100.00. I put in a
ilica gel pack for remaining moisture and an oxygen absorber for
emaining oxygen. Same with vitamins. Anything that doesnt contain
il I just use the silica gel in. There is some debate as to if
xygen absorbers really work but they are cheap so I figure what the
eck. :-)
