(The Blaze)—Two weeks into the pandemic, founder of the Dream Center in Los Angeles Matthew Barnett was driving through the empty streets when California’s lockdown policy was announced.
“They said only essential workers can come and be involved with whatever they need to do, and I thought to myself, and I did the calculation,” Barnett tells BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey on “Relatable.” “We’ve given probably about $1.2 billion of aid to the community over the years, and so I just kind of deemed myself to be an essential worker.”
“So, just kind of blindly and just smiling, I just showed up and said, ‘We’re going to feed people.’ And people started showing up and putting stuff in people’s cars, and everyone’s like, ‘You can’t be doing this. They can’t be doing this,’” he continues.
“It kind of blew up, went viral all across the country, and people started showing up, and even some of the same politicians that told you not to do it, they were like, ‘I think I need to go down and get a photo op,’” he explains.
Through doing this, Barnett noticed that there was a “culture of fear,” and most people were terrified.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
