I buy 50 pounds of chicken feet at a time. I drive out to the Hutterite colony to get the huge boxes of feet and generally 25 pounds of any veggie at a time for canning. I just canned 50 pints of green beans and up next will be at least as many pints of diced tomatoes. I think I've got about 10 dozen jars of broth that will come out of that big a purchase of chicken feet. I like to have a couple of years worth of food canned at one time. My pantry is really full. If the EBT/SNAP outage or food shortage became a big enough deal to affect my community, my friends and family could rely on me for quite a bit of food.
