I’m a commercial fisherman in Southeast Alaska and am looking to “semi-homestead” in our area. My summers are mostly a long grind of fishing all day, every day, but I have a lot of down time in the winters. I’m looking to buy a few acres on Prince of Wales Island, build a cabin/cottage, and enjoy my life off the boat. I don’t have any problem with my protein supply, but vegetables/leafy greens come very dear up here. Looking to find low maintenance crops I can grow and either can or freeze to have over the winter. It would need to be something that didn’t need a lot of attention while I was gone fishing.

Any suggestions from other POW-ers on what grows well in the shoulder seasons, or in our still up here?

Thanks in advance.
