My grandparents were small farmers, had milk cows, sheep, chickens, and raised grain crops on a total of 100 acres of land. The grain both fed the animals and provided cash crops for sale. They initially started with only 20 acres, then added a 60 acre and a 20 acre parcel. My Dad even tilled the land with draft horses when he was young, before they modernized to small tractors. They heated their home primarily with hardwood they cut and split themselves, augmented with coal they purchased. Artesian wells provided flowing water without the need for electrical pumps.
I always wonder if having a small "Gentleman's Farm" might not be the best answer during very tough times. My aged Aunt still lives on the farm, now reduced to its original 20 acres.
