>>1016658Great. I live in North Carolina (zone 7). We have about 35 fruit trees (plum, cherry, peach, pomegranate, and apple) within 1 acre and some nut trees on the back edge (I was worried about the ground toxins getting the other trees from the walnuts and pecans)
We have little over 3/4 an acre with raised beds for veggies that we rotate every year. This took the most effort and money over 3 years to set up and get good soil and compost set up to sustain it.
I have over half an acre of what I call staples - sweet and regular potatoes. With some grains for the animals. (Wheat was too much effort for us, so we switched to mainly tubers)
We have 12 barred rock chickens for eggs that we set up in a mobile chicken tractor and move it every 2 days. We also have 3 rabbit tractors with about 50 rabbits total between births and butcherings, rotating 2 times a week. I have a pond I share with two neighbors we get fish out of, but most of the time its just for catch and release to not deplete the pond (stocking was just under a grand) we usually buy a calf in the spring to slaughter in the winter.
