don't worry about the length. many of my comments are longer.:) i friended you on ravelry because i liked your projects, but i am also amused by your username, enting. is this a tolkien reference?
not everyone has storage space for local foods that's true. kingslover mentioned harvesting 200 onions and braiding them for the winter. i only wish i knew how to do that. it seems like anything i keep out of the refrigerator(even garlic) goes bad. but i am a big fan of doing my own berry-picking and such. i just need to learn how to preserve more things. homemade jam is better than storebought, but it is too expensive if you buy from the grocery store instead of going berry-picking. one of my friends is going to teach me to pickle at the end of the summer.
the allergy thing is more difficult with things like wheat allergies. i suppose you could find a local baker and go that route, but bread from other grains is difficult to find at most grocery stores and local wheat isn't often found at your farmer's market....also i don't know anyone who has time to make ALL their own bread.
