I fed 22 kids off of 15 acres. We had about 3 acres gardens, 2 acres in berries, about forty fruit trees, a few acres pasture and the rest woods. We only bought some staples, and we bought raw milk from a dairy down the road; but, we raised all our own meat and eggs, canned both meat and veggies.
We didn’t make a dime, but we fed ourselves and all the kids learned the meaning of hard work. They never realized how well they ate growing up until they went out in the world and finally got to eat store-bought “food.”
Who paid for the land?
