It is 2 parcels in 1 contract, 100 acres and 30 acres.  

That could look at property to give me a quote on food ?

These type of properties also fall under the SFH guidelines, which you're qualified for - food for thought.

As part of approving an animal occupant the tenant and landlord will identify locations for items such as food and water dishes, areas for bodily functions to not harm grass or other vegetation, specific areas within the property and home that the animal can occupy. 

You're probably going to find that you spend the most money on housing, followed by transportation, followed by, at this point in your lives, food.

Perhaps a roommate can cover food, utilities, trash, etc instead of rent?

It has what many call one of the best unknown food scenes in the country.

The other issue you may hit a snag with is insurance...make sure your insurance rep has all the details for your landlord policy as well.You may have a play to divide the parcels if they are big enough and sell these individually in the future.

I am buying 8 acres located behind my property that will give me a 12-acre parcel in total.

Additionally, in order to pay my own mortgage, pay for living expenses (food, utilities, etc.), I have saved up 6 months of expenses in an emergency fund to handle that type of a situation.
