Food from source or prepacked foods?

One of the things I don't joke with is food, even though I don't eat much yet, I love food. Just like the saying that a hungry man is an angry man, I don't want to be an angry man so I eat whenever I'm hungry hahaha. Due to my love for food I make it my duty to take note of what I eat, eating good food that's nutritious is very paramount.
Luckily for me I work in a rural area where we plant most of food we eat by ourselves. Food like yam, beans, cassava, maize, Guinea corn, vegetables and so on. And fruit of various kinds like mango, cashew, banana etc, we have access to majority of this fruits here, that's one of the reasons I'm enjoying my stay here in the rural area. Sometimes I feel like staying here for long not because of anything but the food.

For example, now that's it's mango season, I eat it almost everyday because we have so many mango tress here, it's free unlike when I when in the city that I have to use my money to buy it and most of those mango I don't even know their source.
Few months ago when it was also season for cashew, I use to eat it whenever I feel like, because we have it planted all around, we also sell the nuts aswell to make money.

Nevertheless it's hard to say one will only be eating only the food that's from source, saying no to prepacked foods. Someone like me, I replace rice with spaghetti when I'm tired of eating it, sometimes I just feel like changing taste, despite that I stilI eat more of food that's right from source.
I'm a teacher posted to a rural area and even though I'm still learning agriculture I take advantage of the fact that I'm in the rural area by creating a garden near the school, where I plant yam, maize, cassava beans, Guinea corn and vegetables.

I'm always in a happy mood whenever it's time for harvest even though the clearing of the land and maintenance of the farm is not an easy task but one would surely forget about all the stress when it's harvest time.
Like last year when I was harvesting my yam, I had to gift some of my colleagues at work, I also took some home for my family, we ate the yam till this year, I just finished eating everything last month, that's one of the benefit of being in touch with the source.
With the way things are going in the country presently, it's advisable that one has a farm so as to have easy source of getting food and avoid the high cost of food in the market. One of the days that's consuming ones money is food, so it will be better to have a farm that one will get some of this food to avoid spending too much or eating prepacked foods.
