grown locally and organically. This is a new trend that is prevailing in this

local farmers or individuals who sell products directly from their own
property. Apart from this, there are other numerous avenues for such commercial agriculture such as hotels,
restaurants, food chains or CSA, also known as community supported agriculture.

This is a
simple idea of planting some native trees, plants and shrubs which are suitable
for the local soil. It is widely encouraged by both professionals of
horticulture and environmentalists, as these native plants offer food and
shelter to different native birds and other wildlife. Nurseries for such native
plants can range in different sizes from few acres to even large operations.
This is exceptionally profitable for farmers with those lands which are not
well suitable for the purpose of conventional farming. In such lands, farmers
can plant some native wetland plants in areas which are soggy or marshy. Owners
of small nurseries can directly sell to public or to some garden centers.
