That's my plan, building rabbit cage now. Rabbits are amazing 10 does 2 bucks can supply 1764 lbs of dressed meat per year, 5 lbs per day. And you can easily source feed, garden / grass clippings, weeds, leaves, bark, plenty of stories of war time hutches feeding kitchen scraps. Highest amount of protein lowest amount of fat, (important to add healthy fats and carbs to diet, consumption of just rabbit can lead to protein poisoning). And a endless supply of fertilizer to boot.
Want me one of them jersey cows too. Been making my own butter an soft cheese for a while now, (local dairy) and using milk substrate for probiotics production, along with fermentations.
A few pigs in a portable pin on a bed of wood chips for carbon capture will build rich soil fast, and they'll eat just about anything.
A few lady layers an a feisty old crow with a grub farm production, then your set for life.
The cow is the only thing that need a little land. Minus the cow all can be done with an acre, self sustainably.
Grandpa had a similar set up, minus the cow, that with hunting, fishing, and trolling he fed the whole damn neighborhood. When he passed, the wake was a week long, I didn't realize they had that many damn people in south louisiana. Day and night for 7 long days, the stories, the glories, the sorrows, the love and the lost was incredible. This is what is born out of love for community and humanity.
