I wonder how they ate. 7 adults are a lot to feed. It says they had a vegetable plot and a goat. I don't suspect that would be enough to feed everyone. Someone must have been making trips to town (other than the guy that went to the pub).


The 58-year old who rented the farm was not one of those locked inside, he works as a carpenter and got groceries.


It says they lived on a farm, not a house in town. From the pictures I think you could grow enough food for 7 people to live on. Pretty normal up until the last 100 years or so to live on that much land.


This is the Netherlands, the closest town center is no further than a couple miles away, or a fifteen minute bike ride.


There was a man on Dutch television that lived 500 meters away.


If you're vegetarian, you don't need much land to grow your own food.
