The theme for the March/April 2013 issue of PREPARE Magazine was centered around the important theme of growing and harvesting.  For most families that are involved in preparedness, food production is a necessity to their complete preparedness strategy.  Producing and reproducing healthy food is critical.

PREPARE Magazine March 2013 publicationSpring is just around the corner! Even if the temperatures are not yet telling us this, the Seasons have been set in motion and we know that the time of Renewal and Rebirth is close at hand! We can feel it in the air as well as see it on the calendar.

It’s no mistake that at this time of year we, here at PREPARE Magazine, hope to refresh your thoughts of food and go beyond food storage in to the realm of sustaining your food supply for the long term self-sufficient lifestyle.

Spring is a Vital Time in Food Production to be sure. Perhaps you want or would like to share in spreading A Growing Epidemic, or maybe you need a few Unique Gardening Ideas or wonder how to grow a Secret Garden of Survival. We hope to encourage you in the world of Composting For the Home Gardener and our newest contributor Evan Folds, gives you such great information to answer the question of: Why Compost Tea? that you’ll see the benefits for your growing season this year and reap hefty rewards.

This month the focus may be on growing your own food, but food doesn’t stop at the garden. What can you do with that food once you’ve grown or raise it (or purchased it fresh)is another step in being self-sufficient beyond food storage.

The review of the FoodSaver V3880 and inspirational reminder of Primitive Meat Preservation are sure to inspire you with what both technology and our ancestry have to offer to store your food.   But more than just tasks of gardening and storage – a well rounded approach to your whole being is important as you prepare.  So we hope you enjoy the new regular section of Spiritual Preparation and pick up your 5 Smooth Stones of Survival and in our other new regular section of Alternative Health, find out the first steps to Preparedness Medicine by working with Local Volunteers.

As a new Season of growth, rebirth and renewal approaches – we want to let you know how honored and humbled PREPARE Magazine is that you have shared your input, ideas, encouragement and been a part of our family. We appreciate your continued efforts both as you prepare your own families and share PREPARE Magazine with others in hopes of seeing them also become more well prepared for what the future may hold. We look forward to this season and the growing ahead of us all.
