I know a lot of people are looking to have a small imprint as possible as they try to get to a sustainable lifestyle. One of the big questions is where to start as far as planning and layout. This book is a great resource and has a lot of good ideas and suggestion

http://www.keeperofthehome.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/archive/6a00e54f14494b883401156f6887ac970c-pi

the author states on a quarter acre you can raise

50 lbs of wheat

60 lbs of fruit

2000 lbs of vegetables

280 lbs of pork

75 lbs of nuts

here is a sample layout from the book

Good book. I picked up this one and the Backyard Homestead Guide to Raising Farm Animals for my kindle. A lot of good info in both of them.
