I’ve seen shows like back to the frontier, Colonial house, and the different series on bbc like Edwardian Farm. All of these shows focus in on a few crops over the course of a year that will get them through the winter. Sometimes corn, beans, peas, almost always a grain. And then some animals. So I have 2 questions; 1)is it realistic for a small family on roughly 5-10 acres to grow what they need. 2) what 5 crop/livestock ventures would you do in your area and why? Thanks all!
