That's what home canning and freezing is for. I keep at least a year's worth of home canned foods on my shelves. I tend to minimize the amount of food stored in the freezer since an extended power outage can wipe it out. The canning process uses more energy than prepping food for the freezer, but freezer power usage makes canning more energy efficient in the long term.
