Planning for the Future!

So we have 11 acres which we have gradually been trying to turn into something more. I currently have chickens and ducks and one pair of geese. We also have been working on an orchard so yesterday we planted some apricots, cherries, and some other delicious fruit. For us this is the future we both want to be as self sufficient as possible. I know some people instantly think the "crazy" people planning for the worlds end but for me it is just cutting down on food cost. So do any of you garden? Have an awesome orchard?
