To post calculations differently, since this BB requires poundage, I've summed up all the types of food thus:
390 pounds of live food, including potatoes, sunchokes and parsnips, stored in a root cellar, which has proven successful for 4 years now.
210 pounds of meat in the freezer, including 168 pounds of chicken and 42 pounds of venison.
Of the dehydrated foods, 49 pounds and 3 Oz. Of meat were dried into jerky.
43.7 pounds of fruits were dried,
7.7 pounds of saved dried herbs were accounted for,
61 pounds and 14.3 Oz. Of beans were saved,
1.85 pounds of dried noodles were stored,
129 sheets of fruit leather, totaling 95lbs, 13oz.
8.15lbs. Of seeds were saved (pumpkin/primrose/su flower, etc)
16.9 pounds of grains were stored.
Freeze dried foods, after drying are very light, but had to be saved in jars anyways. This just includes the food weight:
11.8lbs of pumpkin,
11.25 lbs. Of corn
9 lbs. Of yogurt
14 lbs. Of tomatoes and fruit.
4.51lbs of tallow was saved
And 10.5 lbs of honey from my own bees
The rest was canned, and I think its odd to calculate canned food by weight. Never-the-less, here's poundage of canned goods, minus the bottles' weights. (Being over 350 canning bottles, that calls for seriously sturdy shelves!)
22.8 pounds of soup/broth
118.25 pounds of juice/syrup
31.1 pounds of firecider,
186.3 lbs. Of sauces,
68 lbs. Of pie filling,
12.7 lbs. Of fish that was canned,
31.2 lbs. Of whole/sliced fruits in syrup,
506 pounds of jams or jellies,
40 lbs, 10oz of pickled foods.
Whew! Thats as much number crunching as tax season!! Don't make me do more, I already feel like Dumbledore, drinking Voldermort's potion 🤮 😆.
