I want my children eating healthy fresh fruit, vegetables, meats and fish, but the costs keep getting higher and higher that it is harder everyday to cook healthy meals. To help I have turned my garden into a vegetable garden but that isn't the solution for all of us.

Yes it's true. My husband and I agree with you. We don't have any kids yet but it's getting expensive to buy healthy foods.
Try to get fruits and vegs from the market, it's not as expensive as the fruit shops & especially supermarket. If I'm desperate, I would buy frozen veg, they're actually better in quality because they're frozen (as in the vitamin contained in them).
Notice why the nation grew bigger and unhealthy these days? Because it gets too expensive to buy healthy meal. People with less money usually are unhealthy too because of this problem.
Growing your own vegs and fruits is a good solution, this would also teach the kids about fruits & vegs. I saw the Jamie Oliver School Diners documentation and I couldn't believe that kids does not know what asparagus & leek, they never tasted fresh strawberries.
