Something easy to grow that has good yield to provide an alternate source of vegetables in case its scarcer the store.
I live not far from your location. I'm right at the NC border in southeastern Virginia.

I've done tomatoes several times but I usually end up with them cracking or being eaten by bugs before they are done.

Would salad or cabbage be easy? Don't they allow for several harvests?

I have room ( 7 acres.. ) . We have a beekeeping operation but I never seriously explored gardening.
