Food Self-Sufficiency: How We Do It In a Severe Climate

By Lee Garrett

In this world of continuously escalating food prices, and ever increasing knowledge of the detrimental effect of pesticides on our bodies, our family has endeavored to become a little more self-sufficient. Our family lives in a severe high desert climate where the winter temperatures can reach -25 degrees, and summers are short and windy. We have learned through trial and error how to significantly increase our vegetable and fruit production, and have had increased success with the animals that we raise for food. We have succeeded in growing foods that traditionally have not survived in our area. Through our efforts we are now able to raise fresh fruits and vegetables typically nine months of the year. We give a detailed description of how we do this in ‘Food Self-sufficiency: How We Do It in a Severe Climate.’
