It's an awesome resources and something I didn't realize was an abnormal thing until I moved out of Idaho. Its not something that is supposed to be a proselyting tool, just something to help out the community and members in those areas. The canneries really aren't ran for a source of profit.

As far as Mormons being preppers...not sure they would like the label but I guess it fits. As members we have been counseled for a long time to had food storage for an extended period of time so if there is an emergency, loss of job, ect that you can support yourself. Go's along with the current trend of being prepared.

Oh and if the hot chocolate they use down here is the same as stephens .......fantastic stuff. Love the mint
Welcome to the S&P forum. I hope you stick around awhile. And I am the one that is responsible for this.
