Who is in the North Alabama (Huntsville) area that grows fruit, veggies or fish?

I am on 0.65 acres in a subdivision and have maybe 50 fruit trees/vines. Jujube, Asian Pear, Asian Persimmon, Kiwi (Hardy and Fuzzy), Fig, Plum, Pluot, muscadine and goumi.
I have some Mulberry Cuttings going now in my heated/LED lighted grow room (Miss Kim, GH-1, Hicks and World's Best).
I also have some Maypop and will soon have Schisandra vines.
I am also starting Nile Tilapia.

Running out of room but not determination.

Other people may reject you but if you lie in the forest floor for long enough the moss and fungi will accept you as one of their own!

With a 200ft by 100ft lot you have a 600ft perimeter or 60 trees with 10ft spacing if you did 2 rows it would be 100trees easily. You would still have plenty of space for some intensive gardening and a 20ft by 50ft fish pond.

Iterations are fine, we don't have to be perfect

My wife limits what I can do in the front yard but sometimes I ask for forgiveness instead of permission.
