Right, but for those who aren't near one of the facilities.Quote:

I know the standard nutritional facts are on each of the can labels. I tried to find something on www.providentliving.org, but I failed.Quote:

Found info on myfitnesspal and wonder if it is legit
Apple slice sodium content was my biggest curiousity.
Don't think I would want salt laden apples

You could use a dehydrator and dry your own.
Excellent
Appreciate it jim
Lots of thoughts with no action when it comes to rolling my own

For jerky we use the oven.
Dehydrated pineapple is addicting.
Love me some dried pineapple. I learned chunks turn out better than rings.Quote:

The berries dyed the filters where there was contact, but did not affect the flavor.Quote:

Not great reviews on the eggs, but the corn meal I was told made passable corn bread and johnny cakes and the soup bases were a hit at the klondike trip. I have some of the AF cheese powder I am going to try with some macaroni from the LDS store soon.

My wife went there on Saturday.
Basically, they only sell stuff already canned up. DIY is no longer, however they still have the portable ones for borrowing. And the bulk stuff.
She said there wasn't a whole lot for sale already canned... they had cases of some stuff and she got a case of pinto beans that were in the #10 cans. When we go this weekend I'll take more notes.
We call ahead, since it's a bit of a drive.Quote:

re: the supplies - I'm assuming they still have cans, mylar bags, etc. then correct?Quote:

no, they no longer have cans and told me they have no plans to order any. its over. I cant imagine why they still have the sealers.Quote:

cans and lids
Can Tin #10 $.93 each (448 per pallet)
End Tin #10 $.15 each (480 Per case)
Freight for just the cans
1 pallet $208.56
2 pallets $297.84
3 pallets $385.87
5 pallets $519.21
We would take another two pallets if anyone wants to try for a 5 pallet buy.
Where is the can mfg located?Quote:

When we were in there last Monday 2/10, we were told that the loaner sealers are no longer available. They have been relocated (SLC, IIRC). They have no cans, but still have some mylar bags, O2 absorbers, and lids for sale.Quote:

Memory list: canned/bagged items
white wheat, red wheat, flour, pintos, potato flakes, potato pearls, spaghetti bites, macaroni, powdered milk (short and long term), apple slices, starter kits, quick oats, regular oats, pancake/waffle mix, sugar, fruit drink mix, white rice
may have been one or two other items, but as I said, going from memory

Does anyone know for sure if they shut down the hot pack kitchen too? I'm assuming so, if the dry pack had to go, I'm guessing the hot pack was an even worse compliance/legal risk.
The can manufacturer is in Salt Lake, I figured they were actually owned by the church but they are not. The pallet of cans weighs around 224 pounds. A 5 pallet pick up would only be 1120 pounds. An easy pickup if someone wanted to go get them. I would buy two pallets worth and of course cover my share of the freight. If we buy 5 pallets it only makes the cans about 20 cents more than they were from the church. I have looked everywhere this is the best deal.
They have no canning at all, at any facility. The hot / liquid was stopped a year agoQuote:

Been there this week.
No more mylar bags now.
Have dried onions and carrots, along with the usual.
I live out by DIA. Anything near me?

If you go to Street View it is that building with the silos behind it.
Did they close this place down? It's not listed on the home storage center website anymore. I wanted to check it out this coming week...Quote:

It's still open, only no longer canning. Which may be why it's not listed.Quote:
