I'm a peasant farmer. Going out to harvest a crop right now in fact. (eggplant, not peasants... they don't germinate well when you plant their seed)
That seed might make good fertilizer in small amounts.

More then five at least. We're city slickers.

Mom's side: Mother was an HR manager, grandmother was a house wife (I honestly don't know further on that grandmother's side), Grandfather went to USC, was a fighter pilot in WW2 and later because middle management in the insurance industry, great grandfather worked for his father's electrical lighting company in Chicago, great great grandfather started a neon lighting company in Chicago & had the contract to make neon budweiser signs for the state of Illinois. I honestly don't know what any of the women did before becoming house wives.

Dad's side: Dad is an electrical engineer, his dad was originally a coal miner in the 1930's but later owned his own painting company, great grandfather was a mechanic working on steam engines as was his father.

Usually fertility is reduced in small amounts.

One grandfather grew up on a farm but eventually became a clerk, the other grandfather grew up in a lumber camp but eventually became an engineer, so my last peasant ancestor was either my grandfather or my great-grandfather depending on how you measure it (the lumberjack great-grandfather eventually became a hotel manager, but the farmer great-grandfather was a farmer his entire life). I forget my grandmothers' parents' professions, but I'm pretty sure that my grandmothers were city girls for most/all of their life (my grandmother used to tell horror stories about the food at the lumber camp when she'd visited my grandfather prior to getting married).

Grandparents from both sides were peasants. They owned their land, but it's a poor region
so they weren't rich. Father and Mother went to university, finished, met, got married.
Out of my siblings I'm the only one who hasn't finished uni. If I go farming again it will be a
full circle
