I know a family that did this....
They raised Scottish Highland and Berkshire Hogs and Chickens. They sell a lot of their meat to high end restaurants. They also have a "Farm Share" that allows for City people to spend "X" amount of money and come pick vegetables on their land.
I would also add that the man kept his full time job at about 120k and they barely made ends meet. It is not easy to run a farm with livestock for funsies. These people lived very frugally also.
Take it for what it's worth, but it will not be Little House on the Prairie from my observations. This farm is in/near Lebanon, TN

LOL...they they werent doing something right...right?
If you can't live "country" with 120k job plus income off of the meat/fish/veggies/cows/horses...then ya gotta be doing something wrong. Hell I know several people that make a "decent" living doing those things...without the 120k year bonus.
