What exactly is a market farm--how do you define it??  (This includes market gardens.)
 
What is your active (producing) acreage (example: 1/2 acre flowers, 2 acres veggies, 10 acre woodlot, etc.)??
 
Do you own your farm??  How did you come by ownership??  If it was inherited--was it a farm originally, or did you turn it into one??  If you bought the land, was it a farm to start with, or did you turn it into one??
 
Do you lease/rent your active acreage??  Do you live on the rented/leased farm??  Were you able to negotiate with longer term leases?   
 
Do you garden large acreage, yet feel you aren't a "real" farmer??
