Tunnels and protection is a wonderful idea. Choose crops that mature early. Look for crops that do well in the growing zone just north of you. If you do that then you should be able to get multiple crops in your growing season.
Leafy greens are great but rabbit food is not survival food. It won't give you sustenance. Look to grow calories and food that stores/preserves well. Pole beans. Potatoes - for sure - regular and sweet pots. Corn. Peas. Squash. Cabbage. Onions and Garlic
Get started with a tunnel garden but let me just say that gardening is a skill that takes time to develop. If you have not had a successful garden, in a tunnel, in the past then you need a Plan B. This year, you need a sure thing. Buy enough to store what you need else partner with a successful gardener and barter gardening skills. Learn to can. Take advantage of every sale and buy enough fresh produce to fill a canner full each week. You'll fill your pantry with good, fresh food that you can depend on being there when you need it.
