A local market some, but its in a small town and some things they don't have, so Kroger 40 miles
away, has a bigger selection. I'm going to try some other stores, there are some ethnic ones in the next town.
I raise a garden and can a lot make tomato juice, canned tomatoes, spaghetti sauce, stewed tomatoes.
Make bread and butter pickles relish, can carrots, make pickled beets, slice green tomatoes. I have made catsup and tomato sauce. Sometimes can meatballs and potatoes in beef broth, green beans. I bought a lot of beef bones and made broth and canned it. When we lived in Texas I bought fresh tuna and canned it, I did some up here and it wasn't good. Also can chicken for chicken salad, just the breasts.
From a local farmer I buy pork and beef, and chickens, both cut up and whole. I also buy and freeze corn, blueberries, blackberries, can and freeze apples, peaches, make apple sauce and peach preserves. In the spring and summer I raise lettuce, green onions, potatoes, squash, cucumbers, bell peppers, and poblano peppers. I bought a dehydrator and last fall dehydrated, tomatoes, poblanos, lots of onions, this year doing herbs. I raise cilantro, basil, sage, and parsley. I will also do peaches and apples but they didn't last long, I kept eating them, no one else cared for them.
In off season I buy from the grocer. Locally they raise lots here sweet corn, watermelons, cantaloupe, and this area ships them all over the country. Down the road from us was watermelon and pumpkin fields this year. Also some potatoes. An orchard I go to raised all kinds of fruits, but last year the freeze got his apples. He had an old apple tree he let me pick from to can, they were good but not specimen apples.
I used to buy frozen items from Sams but it seems they are less and less good and we don't need the processed foods from there. I buy fresh seafood from Kroger, its not bad.
I planted some apple trees, peach trees, and grapevines, one of my trees died. I also planted a kuyu persimmon I think it is, they are wonderful, you can scoop the ripe fruit out of the rind, but sadly it died. I will try another this year. I hope to make grape jelly, they produced some last year, hope more this year.
