Locally, with the help of techniques we learned from Eliot Coleman's work ("Four Season Harvest") we are successfully growing crops year round by choosing the right crops for the right seasons, and using inexpensive homemade mini-green houses to extend the season year round.
And more globally, we are inspired by the work of John Jeavons www.bountifulgardens.org
Bountiful gardens is a non-profit group working globally to help people grow a healthy, organic, sustainable, complete vegetarian diet on very small areas of land with few external resources.
With these techniques, we are now easily producing most of our own fruits and vegetables with plenty to share with neighbors and those who need them.
It's great food, great exercise, great educational opportunities for the children, and a great way to bring together the community. There is no down-side to living closer to the Earth and working with rather than against the natural seasons.
I look forward to more of your posts in the future. Keep up the great work.

I know the satisfaction of eating food we have grown.
