What have you sold from your homestead or plan to sell?
I don't currently have a homestead but yrs back my 6 little chicks hobby for y2k turned into 36 chickens breeding hobby.
my family did eat the eggs n meat, so that was a great plus.
in doing the math back then the cost of buying the chicks, then later the incubator and the feed/straw didn't net any savings or income compared to what I would of spent at the store.
but to answer the original question at least from my point of view.
I did make extra/saved money from this hobby in:
1. I sold the feathers to other crafty people and sold the extra eggs.
2. I got rid of a pest problem with out having to pay some company to spray chemicals around every 6months.
3. I never had to pull/spray for weeds in my yard
4. I didn't have to by any extra mulch or fertilizer for the rest of my yard.
but what I gained over and beyond anything else was the experience of having fun, learning new things, teaching and sharing with my children and meeting new people who did buy the feathers n extra eggs. and that was all priceless.
