I have used Ready Made Resources for decades. Mostly we buy heirloom seeds vacuum packed in mylar.
Disclosure: I am not an agent, nor affiliated with RMR. Three months ago, I gave our 13-year-old can of seeds from RMR. Prior to that, we'd acquired our heirloom seeds from other sources. The "emergency can" was for TSHTF, but it was now two years past its expiration date. Do you know that all those seeds that she's planted have sprouted? We live in the Tropics, so there are a few things we didn't plant, such as lettuce and spinach. Corn would grow here, but the soil would take a lot of amendment.
I have a lot of respect for the LDS food preservation system and culture. I grew up in Idaho, and my family moved to Utah in my mid-teens. The culture surrounding homesteading, home gardening and food preservation was epic where we lived.
I was so shocked when my Mom was able to grow the 13-year-old seeds. This can hadn't been well cared for. Nope. It sat in our storage room the whole time. Got a little rusty on the outside. Salt air will do that.

Quote:#5 – If is not a LDS Home Storage Center near me, can I have the family home storage food shipped to me?
Yes, you can have the food shipped to you if you live in the United States. Moreover, there is no shipping cost, but the prices are a bit more expensive than purchasing in-person from a Home Storage Center as the shipping costs are included in the price. To place an online order, you can just access the LDS Church’s website and pick your products.
#6 – How long does shipping take if I order from the LDS Home Storage Center online?
Orders typically leave the distribution center within a day or two after they are placed, but when you get your order depends on how quickly Fed Ex can get it to you based on where you live. Orders are shipped from Utah via Fed Ex ground. Larger orders may be shipped by Fed-Ex Freight. An email confirmation with shipping information is sent with tracking information once the product is shipped.
From Misty: You can use this map to estimate how long it will take to get from Utah to you via Fed Ex Ground. Also, remember to factor in the 1-2 days it will take to leave the distribution center in Utah.
