There are three main types of farms you can start: livestock, produce, and mixed farming. Livestock farmers raise animals such as cows, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, rabbits, guinea fowls, and other small mammals for meat, milk, eggs, wool, fur, leather, or feathers. Produce farmers grow fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers, nuts, grains, legumes, mushrooms, and other crops for sale at local markets or wholesale. Mixed farmers combine both livestock and products into one business.
