thing,

FOR DECADES!

They believe basic staples like wheat, rice, beans, pasta, potatoes, oats, etc. are important enough to build dry-pack canneries across the United States and Canada so that members may can their own dry goods, acquire a stable long-term food supply, and do it as economically as possible. The LDS church is into helping people help themselves. I like that.

So here’s a shoddy shot of the dry-pack cannery on Welfare Square in Salt Lake City, Utah. I think it looks like money where your mouth is.

This next view is from the inside of the canning room. The cans, canning machines, boxes, bins, lids and labels complete with nutrition information, are all there and ready to go. Spotless too. They are NOT messing around when it comes to cleanliness.

You’ll easily be able to work the sealers at the dry-pack cannery. If you have questions there are always service missionaries on hand who are more than happy to demonstrate and teach the few basic steps. If you’re not a member of the LDS church, try asking one of your Mormon neighbors/friends/co-workers to take you on a little field trip.

I also think it’s interesting to know that Brigham Young University is continuously conducting food storage research. If you would like to share in their current project, please visit: http://www.ldschurchnews.com/articles/58457/BYU-wants-samples-of-vegetable-oil-from-food-storage.html
