Well...wheat-free is only really difficult if you insist on eating bread. If you go the corn tortilla/cornbread/etc. route, instead, you just don't put wheat in things. It's true that flours and grains of various sorts are the things I have the hardest time finding local sources for, and my wheat-allergic advisor would have real trouble finding local rice. That's the kind of thing I think it's fairer to get from far away, since it doesn't require refrigeration.
(I would also really, really not recommend ever making bread with all rye flour. I tried it once, because we were running low on wheat flour...bad idea.)
And yes, my ravelry/flickr username is a Tolkien reference. My initials are ENT, which my parents thought would be cute since my dad's a forest ecologist...and I'm certainly not old in tree terms.
