artisanal farming
Small-scale traditional cultivation
Artisanal farming is small-scale agriculture emphasizing traditional methods, hands-on craftsmanship, and quality over quantity.
The term suggests care and authenticity—crops grown without industrial machinery, animals raised humanely, produce sold locally.
Like other artisanal products, artisanal farm goods often command premium prices: We buy our eggs from an artisanal farm outside town.
