Most folks can do it to one degree or another. Even if it's a little, if more people did it, it adds up. We are going to start ordering the things we can't grow from the folks who can through the local coop. We already buy our eggs locally and I really don't have the expertise or energy to grow tree fruits. We don't eat much meat at all and don't intend to start so that won't be a big expense at all.

I'm still a little more adamant on the things I have to buy being organic since that's all I'll grow myself. Just not comfortable with the trade-offs in both the areas of health and the environment.
