>>714008An acre of land for just growing? That's plenty to grow for your family. Personally, my family garden is a mere 1/4 Acre. I have raised beds, and get Tomatoes, Carrots, Zucchini, Squash, Mint, Basel, Blackberries, and Strawberries. What I need I trade my neighbors for. If you're poor every community in America has neighborhood gardens as well.
How do you not know this? You speak English. We have so much land here we can just use it for easy things like that.
I trade my excess strawberries for Eggs and BBQ with my neighbors.
The farmers market is also in town 9 months a year, on Sat and Sunday. For things a bit further away. (Honey, Meat, Tree Fruit)
Don't judge everything off of Hollywood depictions from one area of a region, in a city, inside a state, inside a country.
