What is a hobby farm?
There’s often a combination of motives why someone would want to purchase and operate a hobby farm. These motives typically including allowing the hobby farmer to hold a part-time job or full-time job at another business and using their spare time to care for their farm. Some farmers may want to achieve self-efficiency by providing fruits, vegetables or meats for their family and loved ones while others will produce enough products to sell on a small scale. There are no hard rules as to what makes a farm a hobby farm which is why the farmer typically structures the operations to fit with his or her goals.
Who buys a hobby farm?
The reasons why someone would buy a hobby farm varies, small farmers can buy purely to benefit from the recreational land, perhaps have a few animals for the family to enjoy, provide sufficient vegetables from the garden to feed the family and perhaps running a hobby farm simply because it fits their lifestyle choice operating like it as a country home more so than a business.
