I come from a gardening and foraging families. My mother has a summer/fall garden every year going back to the early 80's using what is now a days called "organic" methods. My grandfather foraged for mints, chickweed, purslane, edible mushrooms, etc... Some of my first memories are helping my other grandfather sledgehammer out his Chicago concrete backyard in order to plant corn and a vegetable garden.
