​​Chirine Wadsworth and her family started Alpine Food Storage in their garage as the demand for quality Food Storage and many other product offerings increased after Chirine was released from her stake calling as Preparedness Specialist. With home schooled children always close at hand, each one learned to do his/her part and that made the workload much lighter. Because people kept sharing their little secret, their 'garage store' became so busy that David and Chirine recently moved their business to a location in American Fork rebranding with the move to "Sage and Plow" where their hope is that they can provide a resource for Self-Reliance that is second to none.

When my daughter was a baby she developed eczema that covered her whole body by the time she was 9 months old. I was breastfeeding her and quickly learned that she might be allergic to some of the things I was eating. Over time I changed our almost vegetarian diet to a more traditional or Weston A Price type diet. We switched our vegetable oils to ghee, coconut oil and olive oil. We added fatty meats and bone broth, fermented foods and soaked our seeds and grains. Even though this did not solve my daughter's health problems, it did launch our family on a path of healthier eating habits.
Picture
 I learned to save the fat on top of the bone broth and use it in cooking. Eventually I learned how to render tallow from raw fat so that it was a stable cooking fat without moisture or food particles that can make it spoil. All the while we also changed the types of skin products we used from conventional soaps and lotions to more natural ones. I tried all kinds of oils on my daughter's skin to relieve her eczema,with very little result. During this time we lived in a town on the Tibetan plateau. One winter's morning I looked at my own cracked skin and thought I should just slather yak butter on it, because nothing else was giving me relief either. I decided that rancid butter might not be the best, but did start to make balms and ointment with the rendered animal fat I already had. This is how I finally made the switch from plant based oils to animal fats not only for cooking but also for skin care.
