The average American, according to the USDA, eats over 800 pounds of food a year, over a quarter of which is comprised of fruits and vegetables. If the harvest is bad, we just head to the store to pick up what we need, but if you desire to preserve as much as possible, you need to know how much to plant. Nowadays, we have stores, so we don’t have to rely completely on what we plant and preserve, which is a blessing. My grandmother told me that her mother always planned a huge garden in hopes to preserve double what she needed because you never knew when a bad harvest when come. There, my ancestors raised most of the food that they ate. They lived on a farm only around 20 miles from my home now. I remember my great-grandmother telling me about how her mother plotted and planned their harvest and preservation. Until the last century or so, people had to live this way because it was the way of life. But I do have a list here for you to refer to, and it’s a great starting point. Every family’s needs and eating habits are different.Īnd some foods may not grow well in your region, so each of you needs to tailor your garden accordingly.
