Here's another area of drastic change. Before this year we used a LOT of olive oil and butter, plus at least a gallon of canola oil each year. Honestly, I'm nervous about not having enough fat. We have more animals to butcher, but here's what we have stored so far:

• 7+ pints beef tallow
• 1-2 qt. lard
• 1 gallon goat fat
• 6 gallons sunflower seeds for oil
• walnuts (300 lbs. in the shell) for oil
• pecans (2 lbs. in the shell) - also for oil
• 1 gallon shelled hickory nuts for hickory nut butter
• 2-3 qts lotus seeds/nuts for oil
