I think you could feed a family of 4 on maybe 3 or 4 acres maybe. That should be big enough to raise some chickens and a few pigs and have a decent enough garden for fruits and veggies.


Do you have any idea how much pigs eat? You will need an acre per pig just to grow enough food to feed it.

I've never raised pigs, so no, I don't. I never claimed to be an expert and this is just a hypothetical. For shits and giggles.

So nix the hogs and keep the chickens and raise some rabbits. That, plus going to hunt bigger game whenever you need to stock up, or fishing if you had access. I think it could be done between 4 people pitching in.
