Make Money on a Farm

Wisconsin Dairy Farm

Before we start a farm - we have to think "How will it make Money?"

I'd think that's pretty important. So - below is a list of things we can do and sell to make money.
It's in a random order as they have come to me over the years.

• Seeds 
• Photos and post cards of the farm and activities
• Tee Shirts
• Honey
• Dried Herbs
• Tours - bird watching, flower gardens, hiking trails
• Herbs in pots
• CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)
• Milk, butter, yogurt, ice cream - oh so many avenues if you have a cow
• Chickens, eggs, baby chicks
• Grains - for animal feed or flour
•  Manure - if you have animals, you will have this. 
• Fish
• Weddings, birthday parties, showers, bridal or baby
• Cross Country ski trails
• Educational classes, preserving, baking, growing food, caring for livestock

This is just a start. I have a note book I keep close and as the ideas come to me, I just add them. It is endless and multi-faceted way to earn a living on the farm.

Thanks for reading and your support.
