My husband and I have a small "farm"...with a variety of fresh fruit year round....seasonally we plant corn for tamales. We ask for help from friends throughout the growing season to clear the land, plant and maintain....at the end of the season we have a big tamale fiesta....everyone comes and spends the day picking, cleaning and grinding corn....and EATING....then everyone has a bag to take home....it may not be self sufficient exactly...but it sure is fun and a way to engage our neighbors.
I love it, the tamale fiesta sounds like a great time and it involves friends and neighbors. Gives me some ideas myself. Thank you for the read and comment.
