I too live in a rural area

Submitted by Guest on April 2, 2008 - 08:37.

I too live in a rural area with limited grocery options. We don't even have the local food co-op. One option you don't mention is buying lots of local produce at the farmer's market when things are in season and preserving it for later. Even if you don't want to try canning, freezing is fairly simple and a great way to put away a lot of veggies and fruits to use later in the year. Most counties have an Extension Agent who is happy to provide information on food preserving.
