I won't hold it against the unnecessarily "poor" for not having a full on farm in their backyard like those guys (good on them), but almost all of us have enough space for a few tomato trees, carrots, squash or similar fair. I always grow tomatoes and various herbs in a simple flower trough on my back porch. I could grow far more if I was so inclined.
Also something that I do here in Charleston is a farmer's coop. I paid $150 straight up and for four months I get a good sized bag of veggies straight from the farm every week. They drop them off at volunteer houses in various neighborhoods and I just walk by and pick them up. It is more than enough to fulfill the dietary needs of a family of four, I give about half of it away every week. This past week I got broccoli, cauliflower, beets, turnips, a head of lettuce, carrots and squash
