To tell you what it means in any specific context, you'd have to supply us with that context.

However, speaking generally...

"Back forty" usually is a reference to an piece of land, specifically forty acres of land. "Back" could be geographical (the "back" part of the land, i.e. that furthest away from some reference point like a house or road) or metaphorical (the land that hasn't been developed yet, as opposed to land that has been made suitable for farming).
