What am I going to produce?

What do I eat. That should be the question. If your trying to cut costs and live a sustainable life you need to start there with your plan.

Lets begin:

I am a meat eater but not all meats are equal to me. I eat 5 basics.
Chicken, Beef, Pork, Turkey, Fish. I would eat a rabbit if my kids would let me but they wont.

Next on my list is Nuts, and Berries.

If I had a supply of Chestnuts I would probably eat them but it's just not a common food. I eat Walnuts, Pecans, Almonds, Apples, Pears, Asian Pears, Cherries, Grapes, Kiwi, Strawberries, Blueberries, Figs, Blackberries

Then there is the Fungus

Mushrooms now there is a sustainable crop. With all the storms in the south there should be lots of free wood available and all you need a a bit of shade, water and some time.


Now to the greens

I like salads. Greens of any type. Spinach, Arugula, Lettuce etc. etc
I need to learn more about the perennials!
Vegetables are always good as well.

I eat dairy

Cheese : Blue, soft, hard, sharp, stinky, it's probably good.
You always need butter, cream, yogurt.

I don't eat bread. I try and stay away from the stuff. I have found a positive effect on my body when not eating wheat but do have a bit from time to time.

If we are going on this line of thought what else is a daily need.

I love my coffee and tea. Need to have something to get me going and see me thru the day. Something sweet like maple syrup, or honey makes everything taste better.

I love to stay clean. I need soap and fresh smelling soap is the best. Growing Lavander and Mint to make soap sounds like a interesting idea. Toothpaste is a must. Flavors? Any ideas out there.

Although I hate to admit it a glass of wine everyday could keep things interesting.

Am I missing anything. That is the question.
