I'm younger than most on here, sub 30 for a little longer, and my wife and I are trying to wrangle as much home grown as possible. We're blessed with beef from her folks, hunted venison, some veggies from our container garden, some veggies from others' gardens, and, occasionally eggs. We're hoping to shoot a pig or two soon, get a better garden going by next year, and learn to pressure can meat and other stuff very soon. We may not be completely self sufficient, but it is nice and more tasty to eat stuff you know where came from. I hope to get the hang of growing and preserving food soon.
