In chapter 6 Leigh writes, "Of our self-sufficiency goals, the most important has been producing our own food. It’s also been the most challenging and time-consuming, but we approached it with a plan. We took care to choose a good site for a large main garden and prepare the soil. Then we planted fruit trees. The next year we added chickens and goats. Grain growing followed after that, and honeybees several years later. I knew part of the learning curve would include experimenting to find species and varieties best suited for our new location. But there was more to learn. In this chapter, I’ll share the challenges we’ve faced and the adaptations we’ve made in the areas of food production, preservation, and storage."
