HOBBY FARM, MARKET GARDEN, FAMILY FARM
Are you new to hobby farming?
You can grow organic vegetables grown for your own consumption as well as for fresh market.
Raise your own Chickens. Poultry doesn’t require much space and are inexpensive to feed, which can make them a perfect animal to raise on a small hobby farm.
Have some Goats. Goats are social animals that make great companions. Furthermore, they can help control brush and weeds, are a nutritious meat source and provide plenty of dairy.
How about some sheep. Able to provide dairy, meat and wool, sheep can be a great type of livestock to raise on a hobby farm because they don’t require a lot of space. In fact, four or five sheep can live comfortably live on one acre of land. Sheep are easy to feed as they can eat grass in the warmer months and hay in the winter.
These are just some ideas.
