Family Farm

A family farm is a small-scale agricultural operation primarily managed and operated by a family. It typically focuses on producing crops or raising livestock for local markets, supplying fresh food, and maintaining sustainable practices. These farms often emphasize personal involvement, tradition, and community connection, prioritizing quality over mass production. Family farms can vary in size but generally reflect a commitment to passing on farming knowledge and land stewardship through generations. They play a crucial role in preserving rural landscapes, supporting local economies, and promoting diverse, often less industrialized, food systems.
