Get a diesel truck and make your biodiesel from used restaruant fryer oil. Not hard and dirt cheap.

The farmers' market led to a much more brisk trade of us making delivery
rounds on a regular basis. But, shades of things to come, being located far
enough away from towns to have enough farm land, the cost of motor fuel to make
the rounds went over the limit and it is no longer profitable (i.e. people
aren't willing to pay that much extra) and our time is better spent on other
cottage industries. Gardens and chickens this year were cut back to only what we
need and a little more for barter in the hollow.

I expect this is only the beginning of such.
