John Seymour tells the story (in three parts) of how he and his family cultivated five acres and became self-supporting.

We buy a cow, make our own butter and cheese - There's milk to spare, so we buy pigs - The potatoes we planted to clean the ground feed the pigs - We learn to make brawn and to cure, salt, smoke, and can the pork - The pigs provide us with manure and we have excellent crops - We make our own wine - We go fishing for salmon and herring, and smoke and salt them.
