Why import when you can Can, Freeze most Vegy's & Fruits, unless you think its too much trouble. Your Local Farmers market will be Full of products to sell. Support them... I do, when its something I don't grow myself. If you don't want to support your local farmers market, I suggest going to Ethridge, TN on Saturdays. Its a fun event and Amish have received No Government Subsidies. I don't see how they do it, but its remarkable. Using heirloom vs.non-gm seeds . Seeds are collected & stored each growing season, the old traditional method and planted the following season or traded. Much like our ancestors survived for centuries before us. I recall my mother's answer when I ask her how she survived the Great Depression. She said, We didn't know we were in a depression. Everyone else around them lived the same way and never without food, clothing or basics of life. Ice was a bit hard to come by & summers were hot.
Try growing your own food, it will be an eye opening experience. My grandparents did. In their youthful years, only bought Salt, Sugar, Flour, Coffee & a few other basics. Everything was preserved for the winter & early spring months. Can you see today's society Starving to death having to live like they did. Today, I wouldn't be surprised if more homes would robbed for food, others put up for themselves and their families. But the Amish don't have a problem with it and No government subsidies.
