Depends on where you live and what type of soil you have. Ever notice tomatoes in the store for a $1.00 a pound? You can raise a lot of tomatoes, about 2500 plants on an acre.

Strawberries can be profitable but are very labor intensive. You have to be careful with libality problems with u pick operations. The problem with these crops is they are very seasonal and some years the weather wipes you out. I'd recommend doing it as a second or hobby business. I don't know anything about it but chickens can be raised on very limited agerage. But, you have all of the up-front costs of barns, etc. I think the processers pay you a fixes amount per bird.
You also might look into Organic, it commands a premium price and most large or even medium acerage farmers don't want to bother with it. You have to figure out where to sell it and all of the "rules" of being organic to obtain your premium price.
