I don't think I make the money I could if I wasn't such a sap...
I Can't send anything to an unknown fate, so nothing of mine will go through the markets. My sheep I don't keep go to my freezer and I will occasionally sell a half if the timing is right. Normally I'm too tight though and keep it all for me!
I sell spare eggs which pays for the chickens, and the odd bag of rabbit feed.
I can't manage without doing my 2 days in the real world, but strangely get a fairly good income from my aquarium. People BUY my aquatic plant cuttings/ramshorn snails etc. They even buy duckweed!!!! And Alder cones

I love my fishies

Our bread and butter is the community part of the community farm. This year we have 16 member families getting produce in return for month subscription and two days work a month.
I've gone full time on the farm this year as my wife has gone back to work so I can take some time to really build up the farm. Extra cash comes from Christmas birds, half pigs, a few eggs sales and odds and ends like goat meat or honey that we have spare. This year, I'm building up the educational side of things - we're doing quite a bit of 'hatching in schools' and a lot more talks/demonstrations - I'm at the local WI tomorrow night and I'm just starting to branch out into taking chickens and chicks into residential care homes.
