Hi!
I have my stockpile in a bunch of places. Shelves are good if you have them, but if you have a lot of the same thing totes work well too. I think its harder to rotate stock that way so if you have limited shelf space I would use it for food.
You can definately store meat long term in the freezer! Here is a link to the USDA website: Freezing and Food Safety
At the bottom is a time chart, but it says on the top the food remains good indefinately, the time is for quality only. After that time the quality may not be as good.
If you only have the freezer above your fridge you may want to invest in a chest or upright freezer. The little freezer above the fridge fills up fast.
