Almost anything can be grown on a homestead: vegetables, flowers, fruits, herbs, mushrooms, livestock, chickens, bees -- the opportunities are endless. What is right for you and your family will depend on your environment and climate, the market nearby, and how much work you'd like to put into your project.
Animals are great sources of meat, milk, hides, and companionship. However, they are expensive to raise and take care of. Simpler, smaller options, like bees or rabbits, may be right for homesteaders looking for an option with lower impact.
