You missed the line right above that:

"an internationally recognized 10-acre micro-farm"

Even 10 acres is considered "micro". Also, that's 1.5 acres of cultivated permanent beds on 10 acres.

For a 1 acre farm, where are the homestead, barns, equipment(tractors, tillers, etc), animals, etc located? All of that takes up space, which can't be used for growing. You need more than a single acre to actually have an acre of growing area.

As a grain farmer, one of the farms I work is only 3 acres. The answer to your question is simple: You keep them at another farm.
