Recently retired Jim Nordmann grew up on a farm and once owned an 80 acre farm where he raised cattle, corn, tobacco and u-pick strawberries while working full time as a mechanical engineer.
Now he lives in a suburban sub-division and grows a variety of vegetables on an 800 square foot garden. He cans and freezes much of what he grows for off season consumption. But it is not enough for year round supply. He figures he would need around 5,000 square feet to do that.
