>>1390118Look into making cheap polytunnels so you can get a jump on the season before the last frost. Research growing starts indoors a few weeks before putting them out in the tunnels. Learn how to "harden off" plants before setting them outside the final time. Only grow what you want to eat.
>>1390124Rabbits convert about 80% of grass into meat while for chickens that's about 15% conversion. Amounts vary for breed of course. Evidently, guinea pigs are even better than rabbits at that. Thus, a rabbit/chicken/guinea pig tractor you move around a yard of grass will maximize your feed costs. Move it every day for rabbits & guinea pigs, but only every 3 days for chickens. Do this through an orchard and you help fertilize the trees/shrubs and chickens help remove pests. You'll get meat and hides from the rabbits & guinea pigs and meat, feathers, and eggs from the chickens.
Goats will be better for milk, but not for grazing grass. They are foragers so scrub and grass is best for them. Sheep are lawn mowers. You get hide, milk, and meat from both of them, but also wool from the sheep. You'll just need to figure out what you want to do. You can try both. The biggest concern is which breed to get based on what you want and how easy birthing them will be. Otherwise, you'll be up to your arm pit in goat/sheep pussy trying to maneuver the kid/lamb around and pull it out. Infrastructure is very important with large farm animals. You need a barn to house feed, stalls for birthing mothers or sick animals, and milking stations. Loading ramps, tie-stals and chutes.
Remember, there's also geese, turkeys, and ducks. Geese and ducks don't need a body of water. All give meat, eggs, and feathers. Geese can also be used to help protect a flock to a certain extent (google, "guard geese"). FYI, my personal fave eggs are turkey eggs. Some breeds can lay quite a few per year, so look into that if you want.
