Rural farms are one, as well as urban farms, hobby farms, and micro farms. Looking at these types would tell you that growing food and raising livestock is pretty much accessible to everyone, not just for the landed gentry of the past.<\/p>\n<p>It is thanks to farming tools and technology becoming readily available; anyone can produce his\/her food at his\/her humble backyard, patio or even rooftop.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of sales, these so-called hobby farms and micro farms are not businesses because they don\u2019t sell their produce and if they do, that would amount to less than $1,000 a year.

Do you have to lease or purchase the farm? Study farming, it could mean taking a crash course or being a hand in a farm to learn first-hand. Access resources such those found on the USDA site and other reputable online websites.<\/p>\n<p><i>Basic accounting.<\/i> While you don\u2019t necessarily have to enroll in an accounting course, it would help if you know how to balance your books. Where your money goes, whether you\u2019re earning, and all that can be discussed with fellow farmer entrepreneurs and accountants.<\/p>\n<p><i>Marketing and advertising.<\/i> What does your business sell? Will it sell in your area? Who is your target market? How do you intend to sell your products? Conduct a market research first to know your prospects and potential of the business to thrive.<\/p>\n<p><i>Financing.<\/i> Rural farm loans are specifically designed for families and individuals to obtain capital to buy equipment, land, inventory, and other assets necessary to start their own farming business.
