Next I'm starting a series of freeze dried yogurt. I can now get cow milk at the greenhouse from a local ranch. Yay! Im.so proud of how hard Tara's Market Garden is working to bring us locally made goods. Check out her website!

I attempted to freeze dry one batch of 1 gallon of milk. It didn't quite fill the trays. But 1 gallon of whole milk yogurt is 3,040 caloroes. This is based on an estimate google made of 190 calories per cup of whole milk yogurt.
I had 129,145 calories left.
Plus 21,123, that makes
150,268 calories actually left to go.
Hello, my friends! Its been brought to my attention that mylar bags, although deceptively metallic, are plastic 😒 what a bummer that the food industry mislead us! And I fell for it. I'm adjusting a total of 7 posts that featured 21,123 calories I stored in these bags (the ones that come with a freeze dryer!)

Next, ill adjust all the posts with calorie totals. For now, I'll make the adjustment to 21,123 less calories.

Thanks for being patient with me.
I've also been saving pumkin seeds from all the Jack- o-lantern carving we've been doing. I even got some delivered from a group who carved pumpkins grown at the local greenhouse!

I separate all the grimey guts, soak them in salt water, and dehydrated them til theyre crunchy!
Here are 16cups of them, or 4,560 calories.
Seven pounds, 5 more ounces of Jerky. This is a more garlic-y recipe my family is excited to try.
At 503 calories per pound, that's 3,686 calories.
Thanks, Alex. Ive spoken with all of them. They all think they don't do it. They always have an excuse.

Maybe they dont want to admit anything that would hurt my feelings, since they see how hard I'm working.
Oh man! Thank you, Christopher. I'll make adjustments.
9 cups of cured dent corn - 3,285cal

This is the dried good that the boys and I produced in our GAMCOD gardens this year! These dried out products are ready for storage 😁

Hey staff friends! I am wondering how we feel about mylar as a food packaging in the food prep badges? It isn't specifically called out in the requirements as being unacceptable. I'm not a chemist and I didn't understand a quick google about what its made of.
Thanks for your help!
