Hi, what can I achieve on 2.5 acre property in that climate?
Is there enough space for self sustaining a family of 4 plus some extra production to sell? What can I expect realistically?
I can’t eat many fruits but I need for my diet quite some legumes, vegetables and some nuts or things like that.
Would there be space for chickens and maybe a couple of animals like sheep or donkey?
Is there any design I can look at to take inspiration within my climate?
Thank you!

I’ve got a 7m x 4m allotment plot in the UK (South East) It’s currently laid out as raised beds with a mid sized shed / greenhouse. I vaguely follow a no dig approach.
I’d like to transition to a more permaculture driven approach but there’s a few limitations: I can’t introduce trees and animals are not an option.
This year I wanted to take something like 4m x 3m and adopt permaculture practices but I’m struggling to figure out how to do that – the main thing I’m thinking of is smallish plant guilds and companion planting in a way that is organized enough that I know what I’m doing. I guess I’m looking for ‘modular’ options to start with and then expand upon
Any tips appreciated.

What’s happening to our native wildlife across the country is just as horrific as what we witnessed in that video – it’s just occurring behind closed doors
We’ve all seen the distressing footage of an American influencer taking a wombat joey away from its mother. The joey hisses and stirs, while the distraught mother circles the woman until she eventually drops it back to the side of the road.
The tourist calls herself both a conservationist and an ecologist. But most of us can recognise that this is not the behaviour of someone who values our native wildlife.

Cuttings of tree captured by John Constable being planted on restored Devon floodplain
Captured by John Constable in one of his most celebrated paintings, the black poplar tree was once as common as oak and beech in Britain.
Now the rarest and most threatened native species in the country, the National Trust is creating a living gene bank of the black poplar to ensure Constable’s The Hay Wain does not become a tribute to an extinct breed.
