I grew up in the 70's and 80's
milked cows, had chickens, horses
every vegetable was grown in a massive garden
canned, blanched and frozen
fruit was picked and frozen or canned for the winter, spring and fall
asparagus picked at the creeks edga along with fiddle heads, and nettles
grew corn and ground meal
bought wheat from the feed store in 40 lb bags
ground and made in to bread
salmon was purchased from the natives fileted and steaked by us and resold for a tiny profit
we ate fish head stews and fried salmon roe
canned the salmon left over from profit
smoked much of it
the interest rates were 23% at one point
i had 5 siblings and two cousins living with me
family of 10 TOTAL

Fire wood was the source of heat
sisters had jobs to help
i looked after the farm and garden
physical fitness was exceptional
went on to win world titles in a sporting event
we had no money for anything extra
cloths were almost always from a thrift store
BUT WE WERE RICH
