What to do in different seasons for food? | General Homesteading Discussion | Forums

In a place like central fl,you can grow food year rd. My mother in law has an acre and does not use much of it and i think she only buys meats and noodles at the grocery store

here in the northeast, things are a lot different. My question is this, what do you do in the non growing season? is it necessary to have a green house. does a root cellar need light or is a basement/garage sufficient. where does hunting/fishing/crabbing come in to play. dehydration and canning seems necessary etc

this is a lot of stuff to be learned and im wondering about the order to this

my next big project is to start hunting. Id prefer rifle, but with a bow in CT you can take as many deer as you want from sept 15 to jan 31 (because of overpopulation) on private lands.

You can even donate to a foodbank if you are good/lucky at hunting

im sort of rambling here, any ideas. only livestock i could keep would be chickens for some eggs.
