You should think about canning and dehydrating. This way you can enjoy the bounty of your garden year round.
That will also be happening. We dehydrate what ever we don't eat already. Forgot the damn pressure cooker in California so gotta get another one of those :(
Vahtran, in an earlier post you mentioned trapping beavers. Before you do that, look at the habitat they are creating for other creatures. I would not go into those woods and just start trapping everyting that moves, because soon those animals will not be there when you really need them. If you wipe out a family of beavers, it is doubtful that anymore will move in, then the dams wil rot and let the water out of the lake they have created, and an important part of the system that keeps those critters there will be gone.
Trap the critters that are plentiful and help balance nature, not harm it!
Just some friendly advice!
here's an update on what we've been doing. Today was a long day.

Now let's take a look on the other side of the road and see what we gets.

Some more work has started with the garden. This time it's the beginning of a fence. Gotta keep the dog out of the plants, and protect them from wind so they won't expend as much water as needed. Oh and eventually I can cover these things with dirt and grow other plants.

Coming right along.
The garden is coming along. Will get better pictures once it's drained out (stupid clay) and the fence is completed. Just have one more side to do and that's completed.
This weekend we built a chicken coop. About to head to the feed store to order some chickens then off to the mom and pop hardware store to get a feeder and watering device for those evil birds ;)
Here's the coop, maybe not the best built in the world but it will handle 6 to 8 chickens with no problems:
The tools and materials:

North Carolina + untreated pine lumber on the ground = termites. Just sayin.
Yeah, you might get a season out of it but it won't last much longer. Might want to change it out for treated.
I'll get a good two, maybe three years out of that 100 dollar coop. I'm fine with that. If I save enough I'll be gone from here in 3 to 5 years.
I would also put a fair amount of rock around the outside. Coons will dig under the coop to cause bad damage to the Chix.
Not terribly worried about raccoons. Dog tends to take care of that problem. I'm more worried about squirrels in my garden than anything else at this point.
If raccoons or possums become an issue the conibears come out and take care of the vermin while I sleep ;)
