I want the same for my family. We rent in England and can just about afford a big (not US big) country house with a garden and poly tunnel to grow our food. Trouble is, I spend 40+ hours a week writing code to make the money to pay the rent and bills etc and don't have much time left to live the life we're trying to build. We'll never afford the £1m mortgage to own the kind of house we want.

My wife recently found the ecological land coop. You buy/rent your parcel of farmland in a small group of people doing the same thing. Rights to live and work on the land with some shared resources.

There's a couple of those companies doing this, I urge you to read carefully what they provide you and what the restrictions are. You might find that the benefits they provide are nothing you can't do yourself cheaper and the restrictions mean you are practically a tenant.
