Frugal and Energy Efficient Living

But one could grow an awful lot of it.

A good balanced diet would be a struggle, but you could grow alot of food and only have to supplement it with a small variety of items one didn't grow (or couldn't). There will be alot of canning and preserving going on though. I grew up on an acre with alot of fruit trees and a small garden. My mother did ALOT of canning for a good long time to stretch our food budget. She still went to the grocery store though. It did spoil me rotten though. To this day I have a hard time eating pears because they are never ripe enough. And don't get me started on apples.
