Two 'classics' in this arena are:
  Five Acres and Independence, M.G.Kains, 1935
  Ten Acres Enough, James Miller, 1864
  
the first is subtitled "A Practical Guide to the Selection and Management
of the Small Farm", and the second has the neat [and unbelievably long]
title:
  A Practical Experience showing how a very small farm may be made
   to keep a very large family with Extensive and Profitable Experience
   in the Cultivation of the smaller Fruits.
