That's true, even in the densely populated SF Bay Area, every place 
outside of city limits (specifically outside city zoning) has these 
kinds of signs. It's not necessarily far from the cities, either -- 
just 5 or 10 miles out. Traditionally the goal is to generate income 
from multiple sources, especially if the main source of income is 
land-based, so rather than being a restrictive livelihood 
("low-income", "less skilled", "inefficient"), it's more like 
creative multitasking.
