commercial farm
For-profit crop operation
A commercial farm is an agricultural operation that produces crops or livestock primarily for sale rather than for the farmer's own consumption.
Commercial farms range from family operations selling to local markets to industrial-scale enterprises supplying global food chains.
The term distinguishes profit-oriented agriculture from subsistence farming, where families grow food mainly to feed themselves.
