One acre is not considered a small farm. Yes,you can have a garden on it,as well as some chickens,and maybe a couple of goats (if it is allowed with local zoning),but that does not mean it is a farm.

By definition, 10 acres would be considered more of a farmette. It would also depend on whether the property is located on a mountain in a wooded area (which would be considered more of a forest) or if it is open land where crops can be raised and farm animals can be housed.

Farmettes are usually 50 acres (200,000 m 2) max. They can have a small hog pen, a few chickens in a chicken coop or a kennel house for dogs. It is also considered a farm when crops and plants can be planted on it. Yes, plants can be planted on 2-3 acres, but this makes it a large garden.

When it comes to ranches specialized in beef cattle operations, a farm is considered a ranch at around 440 acres of land. Small family farms are considered to be small ranches at around 200 acres of land. A large family farm is considered a large ranch from 1,400 acres.

When I say acreage, it does not mean 2-3 acres. That is considered more as a large lot. A property can be considered as a farm or farmette when there is enough acreage that farm animals can be housed on it. Just because it has a barn on it does not mean it is a farm or farmette.
