I have something like a homestead up here in zone 4 on 12 acres - its enough to provide a lot of food year round. After 5 years of working on it I could talk your ear off about different things you might consider (PM if thats helpful). But I'd say the most important is to walk the land as much as you can to see what it lends itself towards, put a shovel in the ground in as many places as you can, and to think about your own priorities in how you want to set it up. After that it might seem obvious that a certain area is right for some thing, and wrong for another.
I put a lot of effort in early on to get good water management to keep water on my property as long as possible (haven't needed to irrigate yet), and to build carefully considered traveling paths and growing zones. I set it up so things I need very often are close (the main kitchen garden, grass lawn), and things I need occasionally are a bit further out (most fruit and berries, the main row-crop zone, swim pond), and things I don't need all that often are around the edges (woodlot, fruit trees I don't prune much, livestock pasture, shooting range), all accessed by paths that I enjoy walking or driving a tractor on. Now I walk or drive those routes many times everyday, and I get to enjoy them each time.
With travel paths figured out, and drainage/water retention that works with them, I laid out growing zones and planted perennials with whatever I could afford, mostly 6" blueberries, small, bare root fruit and nut trees. I did some "hugel" planting, which seems to have worked well. You could get going with all that before you ever lived on a property, so when you get there full time you're ready to stash away jams and berries for the year.
There are as many ways to grow vegetables as there are growers. I do a lot of fully organic, regenerative practices, after reading up on Gabe Brown in North Dakota, but I still own tillage equipment. My neighbor can't stand a weed in his garden and doesn't mind using whatever chemical or fertilizer helps - I plant every walk way with cover crops and run meat birds for their manure. We both grow a lot of food and we're both happy doing it, but he would hate to do it my way and I'd hate to do it his way. If you can figure out what kind of philosophy you might enjoy before you start you can get things set up to support that and save yourself a bunch of time and effort trying to do things that don't fit your mindset.
. I’m looking at things like figs or paw paw and maybe blueberry bushes.
