Bookmarked that video!

One acre doesn’t seem like much land, but my old farm only had an acre-worth of tillable land and I got a TON of food off of that place through the years - which helped because I had three teen boys to feed!

Even now, at my ‘new’ 1900’s farm, I have much less than an acre, including the greenhouse, but with 16 raised beds, I can still grow a ton of food for just the two of us - with plenty to put up and share, too.

I’ve got it open in a tab to watch again. I just found it impressive how he was able to make a u-turn in Spring 2020 from restaurant sales to individuals in 2-3 months and then have his farm store done for before it got cold. Very driven and smart.

I’ve got an acre of good soil but some of it still has trees on it and it has a 30 foot x 300 foot swath down the middle that’s electric easement. Guess I could grow amaranth or something there.
