We have local food (and wine) in abundance and grow some of our food as well. Best “better location” move ever.

“What Happens When Supply Issues Occur?”

Looting, raping, pillaging, and murder...

That’s why I keep my OREO orchard a secret......

Good idea to relearn to eat what’s grown locally. Berries in the winter will be in short supply here, but apples and pears may hang around for a while. Can use in oatmeal or other meals. The family usually sends me grapefruit and oranges and lemons in the winter from their trees. I always enjoy that!

Let’s forget for a moment that the breakfast mentioned is processed and loaded with GMOs.

Thank goodness. Non-GMO foods were a lot less efficient.

Yes, but I don’t sell my complete harvest....{;^)

Lots of food both flora and fauna near me. I have studied flora for many years as a hobby.

The BIG problem is that while I know where the food is located, so will the many thousands around me as they learn to forage.

Soon, there will be no forage.

We always eat what is In Season. Cheaper and better tasting. We have Farmers Mkt here and it is GOOD.

I think you have a longer growing season there than we do in the Midwest. Our Farmer’s Markets run May through September. Well, there are some indoor ones in the winter, but there are no fresh veggies at that time. We see meats and canned goods then.

We eat blueberries in December and drink pumpkin spice lattes in the summer.

So?

Pumpkin spice lattes contain no pumpkin.

It is just coffee with cream and a spice mix.

Something that has been around the last 500 years.
