They could grow whatever they wanted, keep any animals. And in some countries, the territory near a country house must be a lawn and you do not have the right to grow anything on this territory (even if you have the funds to buy vegetables, and you just want to grow something for your pleasure). Yes, we are protected by laws, but in those days, and in our time there are those who violate these laws.
