Hawaiian or Fern Acres as a compromise? A little lower but a bit more expensive, 2-3 acres. 1 acre HPP might be an option too. Aside from availability of pigs, you can grow a lot on an acre or less. Other than things I don't grow, I'm getting more than enough fruit and vegetables to feed myself and partner on under 8000 ft, and I'm a vegan so I eat far more fruits and veggies than most people. I end up giving a lot of stuff away or just letting it go to waste and become mulch in the yard.
