Once again, thank you all, and especially @Karritz for sharing all those wonderful farm ideas! After playing my small farm for a while, and having a harvest stand in front of the house (outside of a locked gate to keep nosey busybodies out), I realized that this is a huge time waste. So I will indeed put my stand on a community lot somewhere. I do own "stones throw greenhouse" but never put one in my town. I just use the amazing "stuff" from it for my gardening Sims to have awesome gardens at their homes. If I setup a stones throw greenhouse in my town, does an NPC take over running it? I don't want to use any of my founding families for that. I suppose I could create a Sim to work it and leave that family letting them do their thing. I don't normally like to leave families uncontrolled but that might be a reason to do it.
I love how you had modded so that your families can work from home. That's one of the biggest things I miss from TS2. ALL of my stay-at-home parents had businesses in their homes, from tailors, to bakers, to toy shops, art galleries, you name it. It was one of the funnest aspects to play. I tend to stay away from mods. It took me literally years to finally get Nraas and I only did that so I could play my families rotationally like in TS2.
Thanks again for all the amazing ideas. It appears that farming in TS3 isn't really much different than gardening which I have done since the beginning. Gardening has been one of my most loved things to do in TS3 for my stay-at-home parents. I usually gave them the gardening profession and sold produce for their promotions as well as income especially for first generation families. So really, the biggest difference is horses. My farm family now has two horses and just did their first competition.
