The Middle Colonies, particularly Pennsylvania and New York, were characterized by small farms that grew cash crops such as wheat and corn, along with a developing industry. The region's fertile soil and moderate climate supported diverse agricultural activities, while its rivers facilitated trade and commerce. Additionally, towns in these colonies emerged as centers of industry, contributing to a balanced economy that included both farming and manufacturing.

In the 1700's small farmers were pushed out due to large farmers growing cash crops such as cotton, tobacco and sugar as opposed to subsistence farming. Large farmers created a situation where small farmers could either become tenant farmers or leave the farming industry all together.

The land grant to eight noblemen that became a colony of small individual farms was the Province of Carolina, granted by King Charles II of England in 1663. Initially, the colony was intended to be a large plantation economy, but over time, particularly with the establishment of North and South Carolina, it evolved into a region of smaller, independent farms. This shift allowed for greater individual land ownership and agricultural diversity.

The British colony of Georgia was originally intended as a prison colony. Many people were brought to the new colony to serve out their terms. They worked on farms and in small factories.
Prior to the Civil War, most northern farms were relatively small and produced grain crops such as wheat and barley. In contrast, there were many more large farms in the south which produced crops such as tobacco, rice and primarily cotton.
Small, family farms grew a large variety of crops for their own use and for sale. Plantations were large farms that usually grew only one specific crop for the marketplace.
The subsistence agriculture regions in developing countries typically have small farms that provide just enough food for the family. These farms rely on traditional farming methods and produce a variety of crops for the family's consumption.
