I've used it before, thus my original 11 x 11 fields... but then while I was watching the playthough I mentioned before, and Noble mentioned that with Farmer pickup disabled, you could increase the size of the fields by 50% or so. So I gave it a try and they were much more efficient. One Worker + 11 x 11 = roughly 840 food. One worker + 10 x 18 = roughly 1280 food. Sure they take up a good bit more space, but I don't mind that much as I get so much more food from that one worker.
Those calculators are great for vanilla Banished though. I'm still using it's recommendations for pasture sizes as they're already big enough. lol
EDIT: Within <abbr title="Colonial Charter">CC</abbr>/MegaMod, I find that 15x15 Dense Orchards have been very efficient with one Farmer. I need to do more testing before I'm sure that's the most efficient size however.
