How many here are actual backyarders vs. Farmers?

Backyarder but I like to think of myself as farmer

My sis always says....how's life on the homestead? (which is what I call our home, which sits on .5 acres) We only have one dog, one cat and 9 chickens. Due to get two ducks soon, can't wait!!!

Backyarder here in Colorado Springs - or as I like to refer to it, my urban homestead.

hmm, what do i count as? We live on one acre, not like in the city, but we can clearly see 5 other neighbors houses from the yard. And we only have 6 chicks, and 2 indoor only cats. Along with our goldfishies and cockatiels that is.

Backyarder for sure. HOA, Neighbors...backyarder but farmer wannabee.

Homestead is exactly what I call my not-quite-two-thirds of an acre. And my last name makes a nice sound associated with it, so much so that I bought this metal sign to put up on my front gate (once it is installed.....)

I'm a frontyarder (is that somewhere between backyarder and farmer then?).

We live on 5.5 acres surrounded by farms, but are 700 ft. back from the road, so the coop is in the front yard about 50 ft. from the road and about 500 ft. from the house.

We are backyarders, since we live on a lake, and only have a lot. Would love to be farmers, though. Land is really expensive here though.

Backyarder for sure. We have 3 chickens in the back yard.
