Twilight Greenaway took a look at modern day small farmers:

• The median farm in the United States consistently incurs a net loss.
• Farms have thus become creative in identifying new sources of revenue.
• Some use their produce to create unique products such as goat milk paint or specialized jams, cheeses, and soap.
• As society has moved away from agriculture it has also become more interested in farms as a tourist attraction, and farms have capitalized on this through the addition of attractions such as corn mazes and hay rides.
• Farms have also become popular wedding venues, generating lucrative fees for farmers.
