Food for the village might be provided in the following manner:

 

    Food Raising:        

 

1. Up to 600 acres might be available for food growing.

 

1. Homes would be landscaped with edible plants and

      small gardens drip irrigated from house grey water.

 

1. Possibly contract with a local farmer to purchase

      organically grown foods not raised by the village.

 

1. Possibly lease a field and provide the labor to work it.

 

1. Visit U-Pick farms during season.

 

6.   Clusters would use food scraps to make compost.

 

    Food Storage:      

 

1. Most residents could be available at harvest for picking.

 

1. Harvested food could be canned in jars or frozen.

      This would be absent most preservatives in foods currently purchased.

 

1. A walk-in freezer would have a moveable wall for efficiency.

      Frozen foods would be consumed first then jarred foods.

 

    Food Savings: 

                          All of the above might bring our food costs down to about 20%

  of what we are experiencing now.
