It doesn't take a lot of land to actually live off of it. Factor about 1/10 an acre per family member. It's even less if you can trade grain and only grow the rest.

That's six times the size of my apartment. 3 to 9 square feet would be the most I could manage; maybe I could grow herbs but that's about it.

You could easily grow tomatoes, peppers or maybe even cucumbers in that space, either in pots or a relatively shallow (12cm of soil?) rectangular container. Although only if you have a sunny window.
