4 Acres? with chickens and pigs? Sounds more like a hobby than a new civilisation.
Also sounds like a recipe for a hospital trip.
There's nothing wrong with Menard living the country-life, as long as it is done legally of course.
His 4 acres will not all be usable at the same time unless he wishes to kill his chickens, pigs, crops and himself. The chickens will cause a massive rat problem unless he has taken precautions. Rats could possibly fatally infect himself, his pigs and his chickens with Leptospirosis.
There is also the possibility of Coccidiosis, but I'm sure Menard has done YouTube research and knows how heavy the soil is in "Freeman Valley".
I won't go into the drinking-water and human effluent side of things.
I'll give a handy tip: Don't buy any eggs, chickens, pork or vegetables from a bloke called Menard, although I suspect he'll still be buying his from a store whilst proclaiming to be a freedom fighter.
...and yes, I do know what I'm talking about.
ETA: "Freedom Valley" is more like
The Blue Peter Garden: Small and useless but appealing to those with child-like minds.
