Self reliance

I love how there seems to be a revival to be self reliant. We are making a family goal to reuse what we can, cut down on waste, and grow more food. Granted, my home sits on .17 acres, I am curious how much food I can grow/ raise. I have hens, I get 2-3 eggs a day ( its winter. Over the summer I'd get 5-7 a day). I have been researching and looking up sites that talk about being more self reliant. I will post our ideas later...
