Self sufficiency is possible but you have to like the food which grows in your local area during the winter a lot.

And you can't do silly things like be vegan or strictly low carb.

Any recommendations for plants to grow?

Look up your zone and then find permaculture info for that zone.

Also if you have any indigenous communities nearby, it’s worth it to read up on them and see what they did/do.
