Grow things that can be can canned or stored through winter. Carrots and potatoes are easy. Freeze berries from forest or your own raspberry/strawberry patch. Learn to hunt deer for sausage etc.
Insane how big your garden and work load would have to be to support yourself even just 20% of needs through the year.
If you like doing anything else with your life, probably better off just to support your local growers and butchers honestly.
It's nice to have your own small garden for cooking fresh meals or salads, but think of it as a hobby.
Wife and I moved out of city into fairly remote mountain area 4 years ago with intention of having big garden and chickens. It's nice to have the option (space) of falling back on more self sufficiency if needed. But shit, we like playing in the mountains and on the water too much to bother growing and caring for our own food.
We keep it very small, no animals, and otherwise try to buy from actual farmers.
