Rose said, I've seen snowshoe hare, raccoons, deer, coyotes, bear, and lynx so far.
Other than the hare, deer, and bear I doubt the raccoon or lynx will be a problem. At least I have never had a problem with raccoons or lynx.
I like to plant french marigolds to help deter unwanted animals and pests. I plant these at the corners of the annual veggie gardens and also among the veggies.
Since you have a lot of food intolerances, I don't want to mention anything in particular. I would suggest looking into some perennial veggies:

If I were to grow anything "ugly" like potatoes in the side yard I would want some sort of border between the driveway.
I have never thought of potatoes as ugly though if you can tolerate sweet potatoes those are pretty.
Have you started the flower patch or are you in the planning stage? I would recommend having some pollinator-friendly flowers nearer to the veggie beds.
"All things flowers! Plant breeding, adding beauty and fragrance to the landscape, attracting pollinators and other beneficial insects, repelling pests, and also they're just so purty!"

Best wishes for growing all those veggies and for your yard.
