Can a family produce much food on only a half acre?

Rod, on the live within your means channel show you what the Boels do on their half acre home stead in Utah county.

Pretty amazing what they can do on only a half acre.

What a wonderful family, who provide fresh eggs and goat milk in Lindon, Utah.

Half an acre under vegetable gardens even allowing for rotation and leaving beds idle, plus fruit trees that can take up very little area if planted on the boundaries and pruned to hold the correct shape, one should be able to fed a family of 4 all year round on 1/2 acre, if allowed a chook pen would be a must of at least 12 chooks, which could free range and be fed with scraps.

Sounds like you have been looking into this. My friend. Thank you for commenting.

@@livewithinyourmeans I lived on the farm, everything had to be sourced on the farm as we only went to town once a month for dry goods, the best part of growing your own is the variety of food you grow, mainly because you have to grow what is in season, which is something city people dont do any more, a good seasonal crop for sale here is garlic as it can be worth as much as $5 - $6 per lb
