Largely depends on you and your communities needs. Are there farmers markets? What is popular there and what is missing. Heirloom varieties are good to market in local settings. Mushrooms are great to get in, just make sure you have a market. Surely grow what you eat, and maybe look into forming a CSA and go from there. Slow growth is not a bad thing, it allows perfection so dont rush it.
Quoting: BitofReason Slow growth is good because the biggest key to growing anything is good soil. Building up the soil with organic matter will pay the biggest dividends down the line. It should be your first priority, and your long term priority. I would advocate a sheet composting/permanent mulch/no till method to anyone. Read Ruth Stout's books for deep inspiration.
