Food and Drink

Wild Man The Forager Press Mushrooms
(**be careful, always double check identifications in multiple books, harvest sustainably)
Victory Garden: A small garden patch, or even a windowsill.
Chickens: Eggs for all, and meat for the very brave. My chickens laid the best eggs in town. They have also provided the local wildlife with many meals (Red Fox, Possum, Raccoon, Skunk, Cooper's Hawk, Fisher Cat)
Slow Living: What an idea! Slowing our cyber-speedy pace down a little may be really good for our health.
