I'm just curious.

Do you grow any kind of food? The common, easy kind like potatoes, carrots, lettuce, peas, beans? Berries? Tree fruits?

If you grow it, do you mostly eat it fresh, or can, dry or freeze it?

It seems that certain kinds of disasters can come during garden production time as well as the dead of winter. And a productive garden would seem to be a way to get food for right now so you could save your canned and dry stuff until later.

You could probably use fresh food as a viable bartering tool, too.
