How big is a Small farm?

Small farms, often called hobby farms, are usually defined as having 4 to 20 acres.  One acre is equal to 43,560 square feet.  Twenty acres is equivalent to 871,200 square feet.  To put this in perspective, the average American home is just 2,261 square feet, and the average size of a new construction lot is 8,982 square feet.  

Twenty acres or even just four acres is a lot of land, but if you know what to do with it, this family farm can become a farm business for you or just be a source of pure pleasure.  Make your land pay you. Learn more about small farming by checking out our Blogs. 

May of the ideas we present will also work in an urban environment. We can help you develop a profitable small business!
