I live alone on 0.2 acres and I grow 70% of what I eat. Veggies (10 raised beds and a 100 square foot greenhouse), 25 meat chickens, 3 egg layers, 3 to 10 Muscovy ducks (they don't make noise and they don't require a pond, I get away with a kids pool during summer). I still buy from the farmer's market some things that are not worth growing because they require too much space or a too long season (carrots, potatoes, cabbages and cauliflower). I also work full time from home so whatever I grow needs to fit my schedule. Overall, I am really really happy with my productivity. P.S. I live in Europe in the equivalent of zone 7.
@@tmoddison this is the fourth year I've been here. Before, I had a bigger property where I tried raising also a pig and rabbits, but it was far too much work.
@@davidkendall589 Absolutely! And we have lots of room to continue growing the family! Heck, we could even start our own football team! (Not really, the 3 boys now eat enough!)

Great video, I’m getting mine started now and this really helps.
Thank you! Follow along, we will be talking about what we do! Btw, where are you?
@@tmoddison I’m located in Macon, GA
Super epic
Your comment is super epic! You gonna homestead?
40x40 isn't twice the size of 20x20, its four times the size. And 100x100 is 25 times the size, not 5.
Roger that. Thank you for making it that far in the video!! 🙌
@@tmoddison On the bright side, 100x100 should be enough to feed your family and your animals :)
