Farms should pay for themselves or at least provide food and shelter. Well planned effecient farms will almost always have a surplus of something. . because plants and crops multiple themselves. At least that's how farms worked before gmo crops.

Other ways farms can pay for themselves is by offering crafted items made from the farm surplus. And, with the internet, there are often 100s or more people looking for those crafted, baked, or skilled crafts every day.

To eliminate the middleman, you can advertize directly online, often for free. Best choices are:

Craigslist.com, eBay classified, Amazon.com, FarmShow.com, LocalHarvest.org and many others.

Be sure get your web site listed on search engines so people can find you.

Other ways are to put your name in local directories of farmers like the ones a ATTRA.com or other local farm goods directories.
