My husband and I would love to retire early and have a small farm. No farm would be complete without animals of course. We already have a place in mind that would be about 20 acres.

Any idea what kind of animal farming would be most suited for a small farm of that size and how many of the animals novices like us could care for properly?

My husband was raised on a farm and is physically strong. He knows a bit about working with animals from his childhood.  I'm the willing apprentice because I don't know anything. :)

Any information would be great. Thanks!
