This comes up often in rec.gardens and misc.rural.  If
some altruist finally wrote an FAQ for the former, I
bet it's there.  In any case, you're likely to get lots
of answers from rec.gardens-ers.

My favorites:  berries.  Currants have rewarded me im-
mensely in a climate similar to yours, and there are
lots of native New World berries that do well in those
situations.  Others with which I've had good experiences:
shadberries, various ground cherries ...  um, I'm start-
ing to get hungry.
