seventeen dollars per jar price tag on the raw,

make your own jerky, dried fish, or dried meat.
Home dehydrators are inexpensive and can also
be used to make dried fruits and veggies. Dried
banana slices are delectable.

scallions, and these can be grown just about

your yard for strawberries, raspberries,
blackberries, and blueberries; these also grow
well in most climates.

neighborhood. You might grow basil, oregano,
and rosemary. Your neighbor will grow tomatoes,
