Can you make very small batches of the bread starter? I am wanting to make bread for one for a week. I have also had gastric bypass surgery. I just want to attempt it. I am learning so many new things which are old...and I am enjoying it. Thanks so much. Also, I have enjoyed my first visit today. Not sure I have done this correctly, I am sorry if I didn’t.

The amount of anything you get from an acre is variable. Conditions like soil type, quality, etc make a standard measurement hard. You first have to decide were you want to live. Another good site to look at is the US Agriculture Site. Have you read “The Family Cow” by Dirk van Loon or “The Guide to Self-Sufficiency” by John Seymour?
