Looking for 5+ acres to live on. Existing home or can park an rv. Homesteading and small scale farm

I previously owned a little over an acre and gained experience with chickens and rabbits. I currently live on someone else's 10 acre homestead and help out with with animals, garden, property upkeep, or whatever else is needed.

I'm looking for property to live on primarily to be use as a homestead; animals and garden. I'm also interested in starting a small scale flower farm and selling products from the homestead.

I'm very pro organic, sustainable, and regenerative farming. Not just keep my impact minimal but as net positive as possible.

No less than five acres but the more the merrier. I am looking to live on the property, either in an existing home or parking an rv on the property.
