For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/gossip

I know nothing about farming, but if you wanted to be as close to self sufficient as possible on 1 acre (which I'm assuming isn't possible — especially in the winter), would you just do 2/3rds vegetable garden and 1/3rd grain and a small space for a house and equipment shed?
if you do it right, you could take a chunk out of your grocery bill after paying maybe twice that in equipment to set it up, but yeah, in terms of self sufficiency you'd probably be best ditching the animals all together. Maybe a bee hive or one pig might be plausible but those should be afterthoughts for you
