FOOD CURATED: Notes from a Lone Acre: 1 Dude. 1 Acre. Many Little Anecdotes.

New York City breeds the most interesting foodies. Meet Dan Machin, the farmer of his self titled farm: "The Lone Acre".

Dan Machin loves food. Dan Machin loves a challenge. Which is why Dan set out to see how much he could endure farming alone for a year as 1 man on 1 acre of land tackling 100 varieties of not-so-familiar produce to sell at his very first NYC farm stand.

His methods are "chaotic" and his vision...fascinating. And as you can see, spending that much time alone, gives you a lot to think about...especially about yourself.

Enjoy my little story on The Lone Acre. You can visit Dan in Riverhead, Long Island or in NYC at his farm stand every Sunday from 11-5 at J.J. Byrne Park in Park Slope, Brooklyn.

Go ahead and try some try something new, that's what he's there for...

I love you

Great video hope to be able to build soon my off grid house and have my own garden.

One acre is a bit much for one or two people I will say 1/4 to 1/2 of an acre is more than enough to feed 2 to 4 people.

I liked the video. I am inspired to do my own gardening after watching. If you shoot someone else with an acre, please next time give us an idea of what an acre looks like from a lone person's POV.

I thoroughly enjoyed the video! I discovered ground cherries in my garden, and they've been promoted from weed to food!
