I started out using pork chops I had stored up from almost a year's worth of play, then when most of those ran out, I began to rely upon my wheat farms. Initially I had two in the castle, one producing 39 wheat per harvest, the other 26, and the one next to the house, which produced 32 wheat per harvest. I recently added a 4th farm at my northern base, which produces 48 wheat per harvest. I can make 48 loaves of bread in all, so I need never kill another cow, pig or chicken.
Even if I run out of wheat, there's still chicken pens at each location. I have gotten well over 5 stacks worth of cooked chicken from my experiments with thrown eggs. Such a farm can get quickly out of hand - having over 30 chickens roaming in a given area can cause serious lag.
Plus I keep finding bread in dungeon and mineshaft chests. I've found as many as 10 loaves in one chest (which also had 6 coal and 3 iron ingots.)
I have an NPC village I moved into. Sadly I can't convince them to do the work of farming wheat for me, I even have to block them off from the fields to prevent them from trampling our wheat.

Do you have a lovely bunch of coconuts? Do you have them all standing in a row? Are there big ones, small ones, some as big as your head?

You haven't had, even once, the urge to kill them all? My longest non-kill streak was ~3 minutes.

Chickens are spawning in my house! Help! PLEASE!
Your house has been compromised therefore you must blow it to hell.
I don't know how you people are finding watermelon everywhere. I usually hunt, especially because animals are everywhere with my high Mo Creatures spawn rate. But I'm working on a big wheat farm in my current save.

My posts will always have typos and that fact will always drive me crazy.
Wheat farm. If I find a mineshaft with Melon seeds, I start a Melon farm.

Let’s play good guys against bad guys… Yes. Let’s play that. Are you ready? You’re the bad guy. And when you’re bad, you just run. That’s fine right? Well… Shall we play?
no they drop gold nuggets

Mushroom Farming is probably one of the best...
but ultimately you need a combination of different food sources.
I usually just build a wheat farm and start breeding cows and chickens.

In hardcore I kill everything edible and farm wheat. Until I find watermelon seeds.
