What are private farms?

Private farms are equivalent to family farms or hobby farms that raise and produce animals and/or plants without relying on corporate funding. "Private farms" can be considered farms that don't feel the need to advertise their business to the public, or that are family-owned and run or run by a sole proprietorship. It should be noted though that most farms are not exactly private farms since they are influenced by the public through what the public (being comprised of consumers) chooses to consume that comes off the farm, be it a small family farm, or a large corporate farm.
