There are several options for urban homesteading that can lead to turning a small profit. Even if you're only generating a little bit of produce or materials, these can be turned into valuable secondary products that can be easily sold. Berries can be turned into jams or baked goods, peppers into speciality hot sauces, and local honey is always in demand.
It may be more difficult to turn a profit with reduced space. Especially if you're looking to fulfill your own needs while also making money. This may require some creative solutions. Would your customers at the farmer's market be interested in buying their own ready-made herb gardens? Start seeds of a variety of common, easy-to-grown herbs and sell them in sets along with instructions on how to build an easy indoor or balcony greenhouse. Offer specific growing information and be open to providing some problem solving and even recipes for using the herbs to their advantage -- you might even put together some ready-to-go greenhouses & cold frames, if you're handy and have leftover materials. Be in tune with your local market, what are people looking for? If you can focus your energy, and your space, on the most profitable options, you will be much less concerned with finding room for all the extras you're looking to grow.
