What are good sources for these?
Mountain Brook Foods has them:
http://www.mountainbrookfoods.com/home.htm
and reports a 5 year shelf life for dairy and 20 year for everything else in #10 cans.
They also have TVP, mixes, flake/powdered vegies and cheese powder.
Also kind of wondering what peoples experiences are with these and alternate packing methods. I have not seen a source for bulk TVP in years, but packing like grains and beens in 5 gal pails seems to work well. I'm wondering if this would work for powdered milk - eithor that of vaccume packing w/ a food sealer for eithor.
I think cheese kept in it's original wax, lasts a long time - not sure how long though. mixes tend to degrade in time - well, because they are mixes. wonder if vaccume packing, O2 absorbers and dessicants would help here...
anyone?
I think JC Refuge said he had powdered butter or eggs... cost? any chance of doing a group buy on this sort of stuff? I know Mountain Brook Foods has 3 distributors, and may be looking for another...
anyway, who has good prices on this stuff and where are they located? Shipping becomes an issue as these are 2-4 ponds per can...
thanks,

ps: any sources for bulk and experiences storing yeast or beef bullion?
