Come on down to Central Virginia you'll see a lot of small farms with lots of young people working them.Farmers Markets are full of people selling produce, homemade crafts,small animals etc. Very few people do it for 100% of their living but almost all farmers in my part of the World have had other enterprises and jobs to help make a living.These folks don't mind working and love just being out doing things ag related.Just across the river from me two farms across from each other totally different both started up in the last 10 years.The one has about 100 head of sheep on a couple hundred acres,the other owned by two women grows about 3 acres of beautiful flowers to sell,plus they own a restaurant that ties in with the flowers.Young fellow has about 35 Honey bee hives at my place and also has hives other places says he's sold over 100 nucs or starter hives this Spring.Farming here can be interesting and a great social experience with things like the farmers markets,winery festivals,gardening expo at Monticello every Fall,numerous events.I have people drive in all the time to see my goats especially when they have the little kids,can sell all the young does I raise locally and haul the young bucks up to the Winchester Livestock market every December.So i'd say small farming is definitely alive and well in my area and growing.
