      You can have 2 mini jersey milk cows on 2 acres with their calfs. and a barn for them along with a milking stand. with 2 calfs, that's 4 gallons of milk a day until they are weaned then for about 9 months you will get 6 to 8 gallons of day. that's a lotnof butter, all kinds of cheese. Plus a fruit orchard. Plus an acre of hay to help with the cost of winter hay. plus whatever size veggie garden you need to feed your family. all the flowers you want. A large chicken coop to keep 24 to 36 chickens with a large enclosed run for them. build them chicken tunnels so they can venture out safely through your gardens so they can pick up bugs and weeds and drop their manure around your garden. The tunnels will keep them from destroying your gardens.

    Thats a very hungry person. Growing up i was a very bad introvert. My dad fenced me off an acre and told me i could do anything i wanted with it. It became my heaven on earth. By the time i was in high-school i was growing and Canning most of our veggies that got us a family of 9 through the winter , spring and we would just start to run out by summer and the new garden was in. I had a chicken coop and small run that produced enough eggs for us and about 20 meat chickens in the freezer...when my dad came home and i had three little baby piglets tied to a tree. My dad said . Boy, you do realize you dont have anymore room left in that acre ? I said yes sir. Thats why they are tied to the tree. He looked at my mother who was mad as hell at me told my father.. give the boy another acre. Hell give him 2 just get those things out my yard.. me, my dad, my brothers and a couple of cousins spent four days putting in new fencing a bigger chicken coop and shelter for the pigs. Years later my father was talking to my son as we were working in that same garden area that became known as the little farm about how much food had been raised there and raising 9 children things got better. Him and my mother spent less on food and more on shoes, winter coats. Three grown azz men standing in the little farm with tears rolling down our faces. All crying for different reasons im sure.. mine was looking at my dad and hearing the pride in his voice while telling my son that story... until that moment i really had no clue that it made that big of a difference. My dad raised tobacco, corn and cattle besides working in school bus garage as a mechanic. The garden now has raised beds and vertical farming pods.. it still ground rows for squash, melons and what nots. And, i believe now the little farm is about 17 acres. There is a mobile home that my neice had put in a few years back. My son and his cousins put in some shipping container and made tiny houses out of them. Totally off grid. They really upgraded things. They grow worms . Not for the worms themselves but for whatever it does to soil. They compost. Its the same land but, different. No chemicals. Rain water systems... my pops is 94 im 63 and, what they do is all new to us.. but, fun..

    Thank you for this video. Had a long talk with my husband last night about this. When we met, we wanted 10 acres. But in knowing many folks with multiple acres struggling to keep up with costs and upkeep, we decided that one acre would do, for just the two of us. An acre definitely isn't "nothing". Plenty of room for a home with garage, a garden, a bbq, a patio, etc.
    Even people with one acre and two careers struggle to maintain. Who really wants to spend hours in their weekend struggling to mow all those acres?

      Something
      15000 acres
      But he donated most of his land on his last days of death
      And left 1000 acres of land for family
      Then brother of my grandfather started fight and took 800 acres with him
      And we had 200 acres left then my father's brother started fighting
      Instead of taking land from those who have 800 acres he took 70% of land of my father
      And made fake documents and my grandfather signed on it without knowing on it
      Then he still didn't stop he made fake documents and donated my father's land in his name
      Means he got support from whole village 😢

    It looks big until you want to raise animals on it.
    Even chickens take up a lot of room. I want beef, so that's 2+ acres per 4 legs.

      True

    • @nicoletarratt602
      @nicoletarratt602 Месяц назад

      I dunno. We have so far 5 goats, about 25 chickens, 7 ducks, 2 dogs and we're talking about a small horse, guineas, turkeys and more goats cause they can't keep up with the weeds. All on 1 acre. It really depends on where you are and how you do it. An acre can be enough to sustain a family of at least 3 almost entirely if done right. That being said, we do wish we could get more land. We are limited to 1 horse and don't have enough land to not need to buy hay from someone else. We have to think carefully about everything we place on the land and how it might take away from other things. We can't build out our orchard like we'd like either. It really just depends on what you want to do with the land.

  • @danielmartin9851
    @danielmartin9851 8 месяцев назад

    Yea but once you build a house, a barn, and factor in gardens and room for animals the land gets taken ip quickly.

    • @chrisbinfotheelder3091
      @chrisbinfotheelder3091  8 месяцев назад

      Yeah that’s something that would be best done with multiple acres. An Acre is still a nice piece of land for what the majority of people are building and using these days. Don’t hear many talk about building barns anymore. 😆

    • @chrisbinfotheelder3091
      @chrisbinfotheelder3091  10 месяцев назад

      Depends on the location. Here in Alabama the price has went from $4,000 to $20,000.

    • @theBoxtosser
      @theBoxtosser 8 месяцев назад +2

      Price depends mainly on whether the land is inside or outside the city limits. Inside, you get sewer, water, and other services from the city. Outside, the land must perc (meaning sewer drainage flows away from house and well). Land that percs is worth more, because if the land doesn't perc, the county will not permit you build a house there. Other factors that affect land cost are things like school district and location. County land near me usually sells for about $16-20k an acre, but inside a highly rated school district, it's nearly $50k an acre. Price of land generally goes up the closer you get to the city. There are lots of factors involved that affect cost. I'm just mentioning some things I've dealt with trying to purchase land to build on with my wife over the last 3 or 4 years.

      @chrisbinfotheelder3091  8 месяцев назад +1

      @@theBoxtosser Great points, but here if the land doesn’t perc you have to get “Mound system”, which isn’t cheap, but you can still build.
