This is a long term goal of mine. I like that they did completed the year and they did get food from outside of thier farm, but in the way i would expect after a major disaster or TEOTWAWKI.

"They were allowed to purchase produce, meat, and dairy from the weekly farmer’s market and directly from farms. For staples such as sugar, rice and flour, Hoff located a local woman who had set up a buying club in her garage where members pooled resources to buy organic food in bulk directly from the source. They were also allowed to barter and trade."
