I have a pretty small garden 60x50, not counting asparagus, strawberry and raspberry beds. It is just enough to eat fresh and can/freeze a few odds and ends. But we grow a large variety of stuff rather than concentrate on a few high producing items. To grow a big enough garden for what you want, you and the family will need to be out working it everyday. That is a lot of weeding and hoeing all summer.
The book I always liked best was the Joy of Gardening. I don't think it is still in print but could be wrong.
