Part of the reason I own woods in the first place is for the food it provides - berries, nuts, mushrooms, herbs, wild grapes, maple syrup, not to mention deer. We aren't even heavy collectors, but still when I priced it out last year we probably foraged about 3000 dollars worth of various foods. Once you add in some gardening, plant some fruit trees, raise a few chickens, do some bartering with and purchasing from other folks with farms in the area... you start to wonder if you even need a grocery store.
