This is how the small town in which I grew up worked. Every house had a large amount of land that people would equally divide to vegetable garden and lawn/orchard.
Some people would keep animals like chickens or pigs. Few people kept cows were kept in mountains so there was always fresh dairy too.
Some people had workshops and skills in such trades.
People and kids would often join in to help others with bigger jobs, like chopping wood for winter, yard work or such.
The only people that paid money for anything is people from the city coming to buy produce, but it was seen as a bad practice since you are not getting anything "real".
During the war Yugoslavian army surrounded our town and put us on lockdown since we wouldn't allowed them to use our road, we were armed and got ourselves an AT cannon covering the road. It went on for months and it could have ended in disaster it we weren't self sufficient. Many small towns like mine were burned to the ground and inhabitants execute and buried in mass graves by Yugokikes.
The jew fears the barterer.
