Agricultural / Small Business Ideas?

[yanks26]

I love the idea of raising chickens but I do not have enough land according to my town ordinances.

I also thought about making soap and selling it.

Besides that, what are some other cool hobbies that can be turned into small businesses? Possibly even big ones later on.

You could hatch and sell day-olds, if you had a supply of eggs. I dont know hoe that would fit into your ordinance. You could raise seedlings, or cut flowers, or veggies.

Those are ideas off the top of my head, I am sure there are a lot more out ther floating around... people??? Hello!!! People??

Now they will come flocking with their creative ideas!

Haha I like your enthusiasm! Yes, raising day-old chicks is great but I have one dilemma: my supplier of fertile eggs doesnt know what type of eggs shes selling. Apparently, they are a mix of 7 different breeds all from within 1 pen. They are $2/dozen. I am willing to pay up to $5 for a dozen of one single breed but I have yet to find that.

I have the same trouble here. No one wants to keep them pure.

a small greenhouse should be a pretty good way to make a nice little business

Perennials and vegetables that are suited for the zone you live in. You can even have a selection of annuals. With a greenhouse you can start from seeds, which are cheap. One thing to remember, is to ask your customers to return the plastic seedling containers if they arent going to use them. One they are washed, they are reusable!
