Hi Anthony -
Great question! I love attending our local farmers market. If you wanted to grow something or sell something you could absolutely make a business out of selling your products at the farmers market. Perhaps you want to make cows milk soap or honey candles, those are all businesses I've seen. If you also love animals I've seen lots of people start a Rover, caring for dogs and cats, which then becomes a fulltime dog drop in care job. Once you've established a clientele you can go from there and start your own company. Lots of opportunities when you're selling products, foods, vegetables, etc.
Good luck! I love farming too so this sounds like such a nice career choice.
