People sell stuff from their gardens at local markets on weekends and always have, some are quite productive.
People keep their tools in their garage and that's where they make stuff, like the local wooden toymaker here. It's his "microfactory" and he has 50+ (articulated, stained-in-multiple-colors, interesting and varied in type) on display every weekend for sale, quantity enough to justify the haughty "factory" label for his garage, I'd say.
MANY retirees live in rather nice, well-maintained trailer parks, the only difference between their trailer park and a tiny house village is the exterior cladding. Theirs might even cost more.
Don't buy the hype. These things aren't actually different.
- gadaprog 5y agoI don't disagree with your original point that marketing is likely the key driver here. However, I don't think your second point really stands up when considering 'kinds' and classification of things. jillesvangurp's response was that "micro-whatevers" are a profitized subset of the original definitions (e.g., they are saying a 'microfarm' is a profit-driven subset of 'home vegetable gardens'. You then say that people can and do make money from their gardens, thus arguing that microfarms are not a thing? The existence of profitable home vegetable gardens does not mean that they are not microfarm's in jillesvangurp's definition.
