In Quebec, it is quite common that most family on the countryside (or a lot of them) are growing their own veggies. I remember when my grandma and grandpa used to be a bit younger and not on the verge of going back to earth (so all my youth), they had that incredibly huge garden with any veggies you could possibly hope for. Today my mom, her brother and 2 sisters all have their own gardens and the day I'll have a home, if I have enough land, I think i'll do the same; There's nothing as good old vegetables from a garden for taste and freshness and as Killersheep stated, it is quite rewarding to grow our own stuff.
