What about a self-sufficient Homestead?
Your 1-acre homestead can be divided into land for raising livestock and a garden for raising fruits, vegetables, plus some grain and forage crops.
You must check the zoning laws in your town to find out if this type of project is legal in your town. Some towns will not allow livestock or large gardens.
Will this add value to your home? Again it depends. If you are making a living from your farming that may be taken into account as your property may now be income producing. If you have further questions regarding value contact the appraisers at www.socalappraisalserv.com.Read more: http://www.motherearthnews.com/modern-homesteading/self-sufficient-homestead-zm0z11zkon.aspx
