Looking at the census I noticed in my area there are a lot of circa 10 acre farms, it got me thinking what would life have been like for a large family in that situation?

The head of the family is often listed as farmer and the rest down as assisting on the farm, but did they work off farm to support themselves?

Was it actually a viable to raise a family on that amount of land or was it some weird form of survivalism?
