This is a vague term for what I assume to be the practice of agriculture which produces small yields. Perhaps yields enough to support a family.
On multiple acres of rural, suitable farming ground, you could farm various plants and animal feed in cycles each year depending on climate. Along with the vegetation, farming can also include raising livestock for tertiary products like milk or eggs; or primary products like meat and hide (produced after slaughter).
I would say the characteristics of small scale farming are that they don't require a lot of labour, as the operation is small enough that 1-3 people could likely work on a farm of "small-scale". Other traits this farm might have are: a variety of small stocks of various crops/livestock, a specialization in 1 type of plant, livestock or output product (due to limited financing/investment). Farms operating at a small scale should require far less capital investment to start compared to commercial, and it can be seen as a productive hobby in comparison to large-scale agricultural farming operations.
