Why would I not get it from strawberries, blackberries and such? I live to far north for oranges and such, not to mention trees take years to mature for harvest. Strawberries I figure I planted a couple years ago and can just expand, blackberries people say spread easily. Broccoli might be an option, I'm not big on collard greens but they are around the area. Spinach should grow here fine. I suppose you could can that stuff as well. I usually do Peppers and tomatoes, but those don't have vitamin C I dont think.

Forgot, quash/zucchini/cucumbers grow well here.

I'll have to check what nutrition they have

Because of the storage issues, greens generally have a much longer growing season.

I just mean that you should look up the plants now in case you aren’t able to get the berries regularly. Tomatoes have some vitamin C, but peppers have a whole bunch.

Squash I can often make last a couple days worth of meals. Depending on the squash you can roast it like a chicken parmesan, just skip the cheese (yikes). My second year here I grew around 100s cucumbers on accident from a 8x4 plot. So I could pickle cucumbers and then dehydrate some for chips, something entertaining for winter snacks
