Only if you belong to a society with no trade or commerce. This has rarely been the case for the last 10,000 years.

Hell, if the apple farmer makes a tasty enough hard cider, he or she can probably trade for all the meat and grains he wants.

This is why many many people DO farm only apples, or grapes, or pigs or whatever.
