Both my grandads self supplied the family with fruit and veg. In the long term, there is nothing cheaper than a vegetable patch, an allotment and a greenhouse. Both my grandparents lived in pretty grim built up areas too.
As a kid, I'd spend every Sunday morning on my grandads allotment with him, and return home to my mum with piles of fresh fruit and veg. I remember climbing apple trees and taking my pick.
Now I'm useless at that sort of thing so I do none of it, but if I had the time and the need, that's how I'd ensure that I fed my family properly. And the best way of helping those that cannot afford such fresh produce is to facilitate them growing it themselves.
