They can produce essentially whatever they wish. The term "family farm" means only that the farm business is run by one or more members of a family. Some family farms are very small operations, perhaps only producing a few thousand pounds of produce, others are large, multi-generational operations requiring the hire of additional help and producing thousands of tons of grain or fodder on several thousand acres. The location of the farm dictates to some degree what can be produced there.

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.
