My point is, it's not worth it to me money and time wise to not just buy my food.

I doubt you'll have electricity in a survival situation.

Where do yall buy meat? I dont have the room for a whole cow right now, but say I wanted to buy some pork or beef from a farmer rather than the grocery, how would I find something like that?
Going to hit up the farmers market this weekend for some fresh vegetables and stuff

I thought about chickens, but now I'm set on goats/sheep.
Every chicken farmer I knew has transitioned to sheep/goats/cows. They say they can't really make money on chickens, they are super-fragile, and you get so little meat for your investment.
For my future oasis, just a few chickens, but I'm all about goats.
Chickens are for laying and an occasional slaughter, not daily meat for sure.
I'd be interested in exploring aquaponics if I were looking into it. There's some amazing stuff being done out there in really confined urban spaces.
Here's a pretty good video on it:

I have a drip system for my garden, so it takes care of itself, and my daughter loves helping me pick veggies for dinner
Got a link or some detailed info on your drip system? Sounds like something I could do in my 12x4 raised beds. My daughter loves picking veggies also. She usually scarfs done a bell pepper or 2 before we finish picking for the night.
