"Essentials of Home Production and Storage"

In 1978, the LDS Church published a basic guide to gardening and storage of food and other essentials, including recipes and inventory sheets, called Essentials of Home Production and Storage. I don't believe that manual is still in print (although your the library at your local meeting house may have some copies), but is currently available for download from Bluwiki. The description of the booklet reads:
This booklet, prepared by the Welfare Services Department of the Church, is the first of six geared to the six areas of personal and family preparedness. Intended more as a resource manual than as a definitive text, it includes basic information on home production and storage. It can be used as a home reference or as a resource for classes.

The twenty-nine-page publication gives tips on gardening, food preservation, and home production techniques, as well as suggestions for first aid kits, recipes for storage foods, and inventory sheets to help families organize and keep records of home storage needs. The bibliography lists many excellent publications giving more detailed information in each specific area—and also the addresses where they can be obtained.
