>>2854027a half acre is very small but you could probably pull it off with the right crops. corn is a terrible crop, i dont even grow it anymore, too many problems with bugs and disease. i grow potatoes, sweet potatoes, winter squash and black eyed peas. sweet potatoes are an ofteen forgotten crop that is easy and give you alot of food, i get a 5 gal bucket of sweet potatoes per plant. chickens are great too, i have 5 hens that basically free range for food and give me 5 eggs a day. its doable on a half acre as ling as you have water a decent soil.
