@Sheannutt I am the same way. I never use chemicals in my yard. My late former father in law was a chemical engineer for Monsanto. I used so many Monsanto products when the kids were growing up. Then FIL told us about the chicken feed and other scandals. I now avoid Monsanto like the plague.
I am not sure that I would go that far, but we could certainly reduce our food costs. I give a LOT of vegetables with neighbors, but have no one to trade with. I think that I am one of only two serious vegetable gardener in the entire neighborhood..

I need to find some food plants that grow in partial to full shade. I have a lot of trees.

That will severely limit your choices. Try green beans and lettuce -- maybe potatoes. Not good for most others.
@wordywalt hey thanks! Your the first person to ever give an answer instead of just saying I was out of luck! I was hoping someone like you would reply.
Yams,berries, Malabar Spinach, Garlic and Chives, potatoes, Tomatillos, most herbs ginger and most leafy greens. There is a lot you can grow in shade.
I organized a local garden share and we meet once a month to share plants, cuttings, seeds, home grown food, bulbs, tool, pots, etc... even eggs and fertilizer, all free. Anything farm or garden related. It's a bring what you have and take what you need kind of event. I've made lots of friends, Recycled a lot of items and landscaped my yard basically for free. It's a win, win!

That sounds wonderful.
If they don't have one, you can start your own. I created a Facebook group, but you could do it on Next door, Craigslist. etc...We have several now in the surrounding communities, we all worked together and picked a date, for instance, mine is the third Saturday every month unless it's a Holiday. But this way there is a share every weekend.
You are more than welcome to come help me weed this plantation LOL I'll send you home with fresh veggies.
