Homestead to Side Hustle

Speaker: Jennifer Badger with EMFS

Turn what you already grow and make into extra income! This class dives into real-world case studies of common homestead products—eggs, preserves, baked goods, and more—and breaks down what it actually takes to produce a surplus for sale. We will look at pricing, how to scale, local market opportunities, basic regulations, and simple systems that keep your operation efficient. Designed for active farmers and homesteaders, this course focuses on practical strategies to create supplemental income without overextending your land, time, or resources.
