I started making sun dried tomatoes and store them in olive oil, however I also am planting more tomatoes than last year so any suggestions/tips you’d like to share :)

With tomatoes as primary ingredient we make:

passata
pizza sauces
pasta sauces
salsas / nacho dips
sun dried

and they are added to a bunch of other things - e.g. some of the pickles

Thanks for your answer, and kudos to you and yours for such an immense and important project! I am working towards that goal myself and am in full absorption mode, nothing better than hearing what others are doing and learning all I can.

It's a process and every year you see an improvement over the previous one.

5 years ago I've had a meadow that was slowly overgrowing with trees and some old, mostly dead fruit trees that look like from a horror movie around the house.

With just me an my wife working on it we got to half an acre of a garden, a greenhouse, tiny vineyard (if you can call 20 plants that), 50-60 fruit trees and bushes. I intend to add beehives and a chicken coop before summer.
