This is due mostly to extreme limitations with space as well as a lack full sun on the small patio where I live. My fantasy garden includes an acre of organically grown heriloom veggies, three acres of organic heirloom apple and pear trees, and a grove of almond and English walnut trees, also organic. Really not more than one woman can handle, until we talk about the flower portion of the fantasy farm, which is several hundred acres. :-) I have not had particularly good luck with growing food crops in pots with the exception of lettuce and various herbs.
