Truth is within you say: It's a lot of vegetables but not much for a wheat farm.

random_man say: Totally depends on the type of farm and the location.

Clay say: Definelty small. I live in west Texas and I rarely see anyone with a farm as small as this one. It depends on the location but I would say this is less than average by a long shot.

Paula say: a small sized farm
It is colloquially known as a hobby farm.
In which it is not the main (or the sole) income source of the owner.
In many places, the average size of paddocks is larger than that.
I'm thinking Texas.
But in assured high rainfall areas, the size of a "viable" stand alone farm is smaller than it is in drier areas.

oikoσ say: Small. The average in NY state, for example, is about 100 acres. Western ranches would dwarf this.

Bill-M say: Depends on where your located. In the East part of the United States I would say Average Size. In Western Australia I would say SMALL. In Western Australia Farms or Stations as they are called, are measured in Square Miles.
One place called the VRD is larger than Rhode Island.
