If you are looking for high-producing crops to use in a small yard, here are some suggestions:
Elderberries make an attractive border. They grow about 10 feet tall and give you lots of berries. We juice them. My husband makes wine from some, and I make jelly from the rest. It is also a tasty breakfast juice if you sweeten it. You may want to dilute it with water or lemon-lime soda to your taste. This year I will be selling jelly at a local Scandinavian festival.

I remember picking elderberries with my mom as a kid and making pies at home--YUM. They are one berry that I've considered growing on my trellises in my yard.
Too bad we live so far from each other, I think we're both in the same situation and could become fast-friends. Keep sending in your ideas. I for one appreciate them.
