On the perimeter grow bamboo. Moso bamboo is used for building materials in SE Asia. The shoots are a great source of nutrition and taste good as well. The moso bamboo poles grow to 75' and are 8' a round. These are great for irrigation pipes. Cold climate? No problem for moso bamboo.
Corn is another garden item that has several uses. From several food items (corn, corn meal etc.) to alcohal production. You can make items out of the cobs such as pipes etc..The stalks are great for the goats.
Tomatoes are one of my favorites to grow for two reasons. I like the taste and you can use them to get rid of any foot fungus. To get rid of a foot fungus with a tomato you need 4 over-ripend tomato's and a pair of old shoes (preferably) or old socks/plastic bags. Just stuff the old tomatoes in the shoes and wear the shoes for 12 hours. The acid from the rip tomato kills the fungues off your feet.
Insist that your group grow these items. More to come later.
