We started growing some of our own food, but it is a lot of work, takes more land than expected and water.
All worth it.
Kudos to you! We grow some of our own too, but not much. At most 10% of our vegetables. If the Biden diaper hits the fan we might be forced to lookup recipes for kudzu. LOL
This concept is the main reason we have solar, an all-electric home, and an EV. I like coal, natural gas, and oil except that I can't procure those on my own like I can do electricity from decentralized solar. We're doing anything we can do to make ourselves more self-sufficient -- without working too hard at it. LOL
