Both sides of my family were self working
'truck' farms. Raised food for subsistence
and then go in town to sell extra food from
a pick up truck.

One grandmother had the best eggs in that county.

The other grandfather cleared 30 acres with 2 horses
and dynamite.
Oh at one point he had a half acre of strawberries.
Picked by hand bent over of course.

Both raised 4 children. totally honest hard working]
people.

Both had chickens, pigs, horses, and milk cows.

And of course family dogs and cats living outdoors.

Us grand kids living in towns were scared of that much work.
