To other people commenting here, farming is hard work and long hours. Don't romanticize it until you've actually spent time doing it.

- baremetal 5y agodepends how you farm. at the same time. it is a lot of work, you should try it before you just jump in. ive had suburban gardens for years. so i kinda know what to expect.
- ac29 5y agoHome suburban gardening is quite different from providing ~2000 calories per person per day for a family. Depending on the source, I found a figure of 5-10 acres per person needed for a year's food (for a 100% vegetarian diet, no livestock). So for a family of 4, you'd be looking at 20 acres or so, minimum, which is approximately 1000x1000 feet.
