A hobby farm is a small farm that doesn't generate a primary source of income. The acreage varies but generally, they're no larger than 50 acres. Mini farms typically include a home and are used for growing crops such as fruits and vegetables, raising farm animals, or both. According to the USDA's Census of Agriculture, 58% of producers have a primary occupation other than farming.

If you're starting a hobby farm, it's important to know there are grants available to help financially, but you can only take advantage of tax deductions if your mini farm is considered a business, not a hobby. Even if your farm is small, it's possible to get protection for it with hobby farm insurance.
