Our family invests in primarily in food, and shelter. Lately we've been increasing the proportion used for heating fuel at the expense of the rest of the portfolio. At small scales, chickens are an incredibly good investment. ~6 months of minor, enjoyable effort gives back years of eggs available for collecting. At larger scales they're probably not so attractive.
