The sunlight and rainfall on any given piece of ground can only grow just so much food -- for you, your animals, the ecological community as a whole. Exporting nutrients should be done judiciously, never depleting what is needed for the farm's life and development.

So focus on marketing the things you have in abundance, like brains, and beauty, and benevolence.

Market your cleverness in managing your farm for such a high degree of health that your food is more than excellent, and deserves eaters that value it like you do. Remember -- the commercial market has nothing like what you are selling, so don't let it dictate your prices.

Market the beauty of your farm to visitors who want a peaceful weekend in your cabin, RV, tent, or tiny home.

Market hospitality -- events, farm meals, tours, workshops.

Join us in Tennessee for Homesteaders of America's Homestead Business weekend to talk about this some more.
