Asparagus takes 3+ years to establish but is a great perennial for ~30 years or so. One thing is totally expensive, if you even get it here: White asparagus. Every European at least is going nuts if you offer that.

I would also suggest garlic as it grows fairly easily (plant in fall, harvest in summer) and is 99% from China in supermarkets (1% from US or Ontario). At farmers markets maybe from Alberta but expensive.

Edit: Brussel sprouts not with heavy deer pressure. They LOVE brussel sprouts.
