Small Scale Farming is New Profit Model for Local Agriculture

The local food movement is not only creating a new food model from production to distribution to nutrition, but is also creating a new profit model along the way. Small scale farming is much more than just the local farmer’s market scene, it is becoming about how land gets used in both rural and suburban settings, how food is produced locally and how to make it all profitable from both the farmer and customer perspective. A big piece of the puzzle is labor, and how local labor has created benefits to both farmer and consumer.
