About this episode

This episode discusses a food budgeting system to prevent waste and manage resources effectively.

For years, we kept running out of certain cuts of meat between processing days, while other cuts went bad in the freezer before we ever got around to eating them. In this episode, we share the food budgeting system we began using about six months ago, where we count and schedule our meat, garden harvest, and pantry goods by the month so nothing goes to waste and nothing runs out. This has helped us become better stewards of our resources and truly appreciate the food we work so hard to raise. Ample Flame is here to encourage listeners to do the hard work of reclaiming the gifts God has given us of faith, family and food from a broken culture.
