I hope you've made the FDA aware, are adhering to licensing, and adhering to zoning laws. Canned good are illegal to make and sell in most states. Also most states either require you to have a commercial kitchen or at the very least a separate kitchen from the one your family uses.
For those reasons I suspect you should not tell many people what you are doing, especially on the internet. All it takes is one idiot eating one of your tamales from an open can 6 months from now, and all of a sudden all sorts of nasty laws pop up that affect everyone.

Seriously though, good for you! I agree that you may need to find another avenue for the generation of capital besides food selling. Do you have room for sheep? Handmade wool clothing items are the best and can bring very good prices. Carding wool is no fun but it's a thought anyway.
I have been very fortunate to be self-employed since 1989. Never made much money but it is good to be able to set your own work hours and follow your dreams. I don't have a new car or big screen TV or any of that luxury stuff but like you I'm content.
What more can you ask of life?
