In need of some food storage ideas for your small home? If you feel like you don’t have the much-needed space, don’t fret, this list will help! Here’s how you can store all the food you need (and more) in your close quarters.
12 Food Storage Ideas for Small HomesI can still remember the time when we didn’t have our farm. My husband and I were just starting out, and boy was our home small. I was trying to be self-sufficient and had almost given up with our food storage condition since there just doesn’t ever seem to be enough space. Luckily, we were able to get by, and since then space has never been an issue.
Whether your home is small by choice (tiny houses are all the rage), or if you’ve got your first home and need to make the most of it, you’ll love these good housekeeping tips for storing food in small spaces.

2. Food Canning
Canning has always been one of my favorite method of preserving food, all you’ll need is 13 steps to complete the process.
Canning allows food to last for months, even years. Store your cans in harder to reach places like the back of the cabinet or underneath the house. You won’t have to worry about food spoiling, and you can go get it when you do end up needing it.
3. Store your utensils diagonally by size
To keep the drawers more organized you can put up dividers and sotre them diagonally by size. This helps you stay organized and find the tools you need, while making the most of every inch and corner in your kitchen.
