Meet the emergency prepper who grows 900lbs of fruit and vegetables with enough in the cupboard to last a year - and even has earthquake survival kits. Kerrina Sanchez, 37, lives on a quarter acre of land with her husband, Jason, 34, and their three children - and they grow 80 per cent of the food they consume.
She began prepping during lockdown after it "opened her eyes" to becoming less reliant on supermarkets. Kerrina spends her days harvesting and prepping the fruit and vegetables they grow for long-term storage as well as cleaning and preparing meals.
They grow all of their fruit and vegetables, recording over 900lbs of produce last year - including 400lbs of tomatoes, 300 avocados, squash, pumpkin, onions, garlic, cauliflowers and Brussels sprouts. They have a $200 shop-bought budget for items like milk, cheese, meats, rice, apples, bananas and cereal - down significantly from their monthly $600 budget before prepping and home-growing.
