Growing your own food is almost a lost art at this point. Having that skill set definitely sets you apart from most people, at least here in the US. That's something I will definitely start doing when I move to Tennessee. I've already experimented with a small vegetable garden on my apartment patio. It didn't get nearly enough sunlight though. So I've mostly scrapped that idea for now but if you follow my progress over the next year you'll see my successes and failures in gardening and hopefully we can learn from each other.
