I've had people question whether or not one can make a delicious complete (or 99% complete) meal from one's own farm. Huh? Do they equate homegrown with simple & bland? I guess so. Around here, good meals use ingredients available right off the land. And if not entirely from your own little piece of paradise, then they can be had locally, either grown by others or foraged/fished/hunted.
Below is a posting from another local person's blog. "S" is mini-farming her acre of lava desert, and successfully producing some yummy meals. So yes, it can be done. One doesn't really need to go to the supermarket to find enticing food that begs you to sit down and enjoy a meal.

A community garden twist on a Filipino dish.
Chunks of my home bred pig, with vegetables from the community garden harvest table: onion, tomato, snow peas, peas, some green cabbage, and 2 tender pipinola squash, cut into chunks. Alas, I did not have the fresh garlic or the fish sauce to make it more traditionally flavored. I made do with garlic salt, Bragg's amino acids, and Hawaiian chili pepper paste (my go-to seasonings).
