Egg Sales – While sellings eggs isn’t the most profitable avenue, it is one of the easiest ways to get started selling from your farm.

You more than likely won’t make enough to sustain yourself off of any one thing, but combining several avenues for profit could lead you to that dream of quitting your day job and homesteading full time. This lifestyle requires a lot of hard work and it’s okay to creatively earn money to support it. While you aren’t going to make fortunes on your hobby farm, money can be made on literally every step of this process if you plan accordingly. Pushing ourselves closer and closer to self sufficiency. It seems like every year we add more to our ever growing homestead – whether it be a new vegetable, a new animal, or something new to make for ourselves or sell. And then it’s not long before its time to start those seedlings again.
Once winter hits, firewood and snow removal take center stage outdoors, and focus can be shifted indoors to your various crafting and woodworking skills. As you head into fall, harvest kicks into high gear, canning season and pumpkin season take over – only to be met with orchard season. Then planting season begins, which moves to maintaining your gardens, the high egg production of summer time, honey, raising cattle and pigs, cut flowers and manure. Early springtime means starting seedlings, and hatching chicks.
The more you dive into hobby farming and homesteading, the more you realize: there is no “off season.” In other words you complete one task to move to the next, and are constantly shifting your focus based on the time of year. Did you know you could earn a living off of your land?
