amount of land required for a family

[Ohiorganic]

At least 5 acres for growing both produce and meat/milk/traction animals. These farms are generally human scale and don't use much if any machinery so the upper limit of size is dependent on how much of a labor force (family size) there is. 1 man and a couple of horses or oxen can plow around 2 acres a day.
