Farming on a 50' X 100' village lot [View all]

Just kicking around ideas about what I could do on my lot which has a 26' X 16' two story home with full basement and a 24' X 20' wide unattached garage.

This is never going to happen as my wife would never go along with it but it's a dream. There is also an ordinance against having chickens within village limits.

My idea is that it's possible to have hens for eggs, rabbits for meat, use various parts of the yard for gardens and even raise earthworms and mealworms as food. Not just for myself but for the chickens also.

In future posts in this thread, I'll describe my ideas on how I could maximize as much of this lot as possible for food production.
