I've decided to go with at least five acres

Of vegetable garden? How many semi truckloads of each item would that
be,
though.

No, five acres of property. :-) If I tried five acres of garden, I'd have
to quit my job just to have the time to work it! But those five acres of
property will hopefully ultimately include an acre of garden area, and a LOT
of fruit and nut trees.
