Tom Woods did a podcast on getting to know local farmers just the other day. It was super boring but I'll try to give it a listen. https://tomwoods.com/ep-1803-small-farms-the-state-the-market-and-you/

Is gardening actually worth it at all? I have a very small front yard. I could buy soil and plant in other parts of the property but I can't imagine growing my own food to really be worth it. I think for me it makes a lot more sense to buy a bunch of food now.

Gardening is not something you will learn overnight but it's a healthy, rewarding hobby that connects you to the land. You get better results every season. I wouldn't rely on gardening to provide all your food, especially if you have a small yard but planting some fruit trees and growing what you can can help supplement your dry food supply and is super rewarding.
