Abstract Food consumption habits of U.S. population are analyzed and a determination is made of the extent to which fruits and vegetables are homegrown versus commercially produced. Population distributions are given for the consumption of six food groups by both persons who consume meat and do not consume meat. The six food groups are grains and cereals, potatoes, leafy vegetables, legume vegetables, root vegetables, and garden fruits. Both entire U.S. population and 15 to 20-year-old male subpopulation are studied. The six food groups comprise 441 g/person/day of the average U.S. diet, and 564 g/person/day for the 15-20 year old male. Dietary consumption data are reported for percentage of households having home gardens and for consumption which is home-grown. Data are reported for urban, rural nonfarm, rural farm, and all households. Roughly 44 percent of U.S. households have gardens; 50 percent of these have garden areas greater than 750 square feet. Home gardens constitute approximately 6 million acres, approximately equivalent to the acreage used for commercial fruit and vegetable production. Annual value of home-grown produce is estimated at $14 billion.
