I am growing my own seasonings (basil, thyme, rosemary, parsley, garlic and onions)and veggies in my garden now. Many of these can be grown inside the house in pots year-round. Heck, I even have a huge flower pot with lettuce growing in it (it’ll be my first harvest this year).
When we were growing up my siblings and I ate mostly beans (poor Southern folks), in fact I know folks here that have beans every meal.
Right now I am considering finding a source for ground cornmeal and flour that I can trust. The things we need that we can’t grow are flour, meal, and sugar.
I am also lucky enough to live in the country, so I can kill a squirrel or deer if need (in legal season, of course).
Unfortunately we have horrible soil and high heat in the summer, gardens that I remember as a child in Texas are not possible.
Our local market does have organic vegies and I buy those -- especially green onions, lettuce, etc. There is some healthfood store cornmeal that is organic. When we lived in California we would drive out to a local farmers market for all our fruits and vegetables, one of the few things I miss. If more people demanded healthier food the market would have to provide it.
