Well, to be fair, no, we couldn't do this, at least not for any significant fraction of the population. The carrying capacity for a traditional HG society is a tiny fraction of an agricultural one (there should be more deer than humans, etc.)
Mind you, very few people would take you up on the offer, as you know, so we could probably manage this for anyone who wanted it...but doing so would take a lot of work without providing a lot of benefit for the whole population. So there's no good reason to. :)
