As a result of the financial problem, they never went into town to buy food for themselves. Instead, they grew fruits and vegetables in their own garden and ate them. They also raised chickens, pigs, and other animals, which was the basis for their survival. Hunting was an integral part of the Robertson family. So, Phil also engaged himself in hunting animals like fish, deer, and squirrels to eat meat.
