Business on a small plot of land. Business ideas on your site

And again we return to the spring-summer topics of seasonal earnings - business in the country, especially relevant in today's crisis, general job cuts, and the rise in prices of almost all goods. Whatever you say, political and, as a consequence, economic turmoil has affected absolutely all areas of business in the country. What can we say about ordinary citizens who were left with two choices: “tighten their belts,” or try to show their entrepreneurial qualities, which had previously been “dormant” somewhere deep inside, and try to organize a source of additional income.

Surely many entrepreneurs will agree with us that finding suitable premises is one of the priority stages when organizing your own business. Of course, if you are planning to open a large-scale production, or a large service providing any services, you cannot do without purchasing or renting space. But representatives of small and even medium-sized businesses in Russia can easily get by with the premises that many of them already have.

Examples include organizing a tire service in a garage, growing parsley or onions on shelves in an apartment, or breeding worms for fishing in the basement of a house.

In addition, there is one more room that every fifth family has, and which can be successfully used to organize your own small business. This is a dacha. What kind of business in the country can you open if you have the desire?

As a rule, the size of a summer cottage varies from 4 to 20 acres. The standard area of ​​6 acres has long been reduced due to buildings located on the site, or expanded through the acquisition of neighboring lands. How to properly use the available space in order to receive additional income from it, while, if possible, without infringing on your interests?

Plantation of seedlings

With the onset of spring, active sales of a wide variety of seedlings begin at garden markets. By the way, you can read about how you can make money in the spring in this source. The share of sales of seedlings grown on an “industrial” scale in agronomic farms in such markets is only about 40%. The rest of the plants were grown in the dacha plots. The following are in great demand among gardeners:

• Berry bushes - raspberries, gooseberries, currants, sea buckthorn.
• Fruit trees - apple, plum, cherry.

When deciding on future plantings, you need to take into account the climate zone in which you live. Will help you get ahead of your competitors competent advertising, attentive attitude towards customers, and some “tricks” that will distinguish your product from dozens of the same ones. Use discounts when purchasing several seedlings, offer delivery, make gifts, give advice on caring for seedlings, etc. Of course, this idea requires some knowledge of gardening and some experience. But, having studied the matter, you will provide yourself with a stable annual seasonal income.

Floriculture

We have already told readers about how to open a flower business in the city. By the way, florist shops quite often have suppliers of their goods among summer residents. Why don't you become one of them if you want?

The most popular varieties of flowers can be grown on the site:

• Roses
• Chrysanthemums
• Tulips
• Lilies
• Carnations, etc.

And in the very premises of the country house - place indoor types of flowers:

• Calla lilies
• Primrose
• cacti
• Ficus, etc.

Study the demand market and offers in your city, grow the most popular plants, and those that are not at all represented in stores. Usually, something new always attracts, and an “exotic” product should be sold out with a bang.

You can sell flowers, as we have already said, through flower shops, open your own small shop where you can cut fresh flowers to customers to order directly from the flowerbed. Or arrange delivery of bouquets. As with the idea with seedlings, look for a creative way to present the product to your customers, and things will work out for you.

"Dachny" store

The proliferation of low-quality food products on store shelves has led to consumers becoming more interested in environmentally friendly products, including those made by hand. As we all know, many people make various jams, pickles, marinades, smoked meats, and other various “delicacies” at their dachas. If you don’t have enough of your own harvest to prepare supplies, you can purchase it from neighbors on your property or holiday village.

The essence of the idea is to sell such preparations directly at the dacha. It will be kind of "country" store. All you need is to learn how to properly preserve vegetables and fruits, smoke meat and fish, and give competent advertising. However, the latter may only be needed once, since buyers of such products usually become regulars.

A little advice: try to experiment with technologies for preparing your products, look for new tastes, read new recipes, in general - develop in this regard.

Rent a summer cottage daily

The business of renting out dachas has been going on since Soviet times. But renting it out for a season is not as profitable as using a daily rental. Such offers will be of interest to companies planning a corporate vacation, couples in love dreaming of spending a weekend in a picturesque forest corner away from the bustle of the city, and simply wanting to relax in the lap of nature.

To organize such a business, you need to carry out a small “cosmetic” repair of your country house and clean up the area, and prepare everything you need for a “cultural” vacation:

• Required grill for kebabs
• In sunny summer weather it would be a good idea to put sun loungers for sunbathing
• It’s not bad if your site has its own bathhouse with the obligatory steam room

It’s very good if your dacha is located in a beautiful place, not far from a forest and a lake or pond. And the presence of a fireplace at the dacha can make it available for rent almost all year round.

In the footsteps of past publications

You can also organize a business in your dacha by implementing any ideas previously published on our blog:

In conclusion, I would like to recall one well-known folk saying: “Water does not flow under a lying stone.” Try to start your own business, even the smallest one for now. If it works, you will have a source of additional income. No - you will gain invaluable experience. In any case, you won't lose anything. I wish you success!

Having a plot of land in the village, you can think about extracting benefits from it. Depending on its location, soil fertility, distance from the city and local climate, you can come up with many ways to use the land for future use. Moreover, some types of business do not even imply permanent residence in a village or farm. This business can be year-round or seasonal, you can use the services of hired labor, or you can get by with your family or alone. This article will provide several examples of making a profit from a small plot of land.

First of all, you should proceed from where the plot of land is located and how it was previously used. If you purchase land or lease it, then, as a rule, you already know what and how it will be used. However, there are cases when land is inherited or in the area where you have a dacha or rural house, the land is sold for cheap or rented out for a long period, also at a small price. Only a person who has never been involved in business or has no plans, or simply does not see the benefits in the future, can fail to take advantage of such a situation.

The size of the plot is also important. For example, a small plot of land of less than one hectare is unlikely to be advisable to use for sowing wheat; renting and transporting equipment will be more expensive than the expected profit. However, if this site is located on the banks of a river or lake, near a forest or in another picturesque place, then a recreation center for tourists can be set up here. There will always be several houses for vacationers who want to fish, go pick mushrooms, or swim in a river or pond.

For small plots of land with agricultural purposes, several applications can be found. This is growing, for example, vegetables, herbs for sale, installing greenhouses, growing medicinal plants, installing an apiary, and even planting a garden. It all depends on which area of ​​activity you are most passionate about, because as you know, an unloved activity has a corresponding attitude.

Staff and locals

As you know, and this has always been the case, the attitude of local residents towards city residents has always been biased. The locals will always put a spoke in the wheels of a farmer and entrepreneur who comes from the city, either out of envy or ignorance. However, not everyone is like that and you can always find a common language. How to do it.

Of course, if you organize your own business, you will in any case need help, namely hired labor. If there is such an opportunity, you should not hire workers from outside; it is good that the workers are local. For example, seasonal harvesting, pond cleaning, security, apiary care or greenhouse installation, all this can and should be done by local workers. This will provide income and relieve tension in relationships. For those who decide to live locally and move from the city to the village, you should definitely make new acquaintances as soon as possible. This will also help in new business.

What not to do

If you have never owned land, but after reading several articles in Internet publications and magazines, you decided to engage in a super profitable business, usually exotic, then you will be wasting your money and effort. You should start with proven and accepted types of agribusiness in the region. If only because not you, not local specialists, as a rule, do not understand anything about it. For example, breeding crocodiles for the sale of skins and meat. You should start with proven methods; it is not in vain that experienced farmers, even when purchasing new varieties of already familiar agricultural crops, first sow them only on an experimental plot, gradually, year by year, increasing its share of the total sowing of the land.

You should also not try to open enterprises that do not have natural sales in a given region. For example, the organization of a drying plant in an area that does not produce dry food or timber, a sugar factory far from farms producing sugar beets, etc.

conclusions

Business in the countryside, in modern conditions, is not at all hard work, from films about the formation of “virgin lands” and the rise of collective farms in the thirties of the twentieth century. Even if you have no desire to grow crops, you can always turn to rural tourism, raising honey bees or planting a garden. In addition, land is always a valuable capital and a good investment. Land can be sold, rented out, or used as collateral when obtaining a loan. In the end, you can build your own house on the land and relax after working in the city.

The cost of land is constantly growing, you can take advantage of this by investing available funds for the long term. Lately, more and more people are moving out of the city, even if not for permanent residence, but with the prospect of developing and improving their area. This makes the cost of land rise even more.

Gone are the days when many people with gardening tools went out of town every weekend to weed and dig at their own dacha. Today the situation has changed dramatically - lovers of outdoor activities are increasingly thinking about turning land plots into a source of income.

There are a huge number of small business ideas for country property owners. Maintaining a dacha can bring not only pleasure from spending time there, but also good profit for its owners. Let's talk about the most popular types of commercial activities that can be organized at minimal cost.

Business on a personal plot

Before you choose the direction of doing business in your dacha, you need to decide what practical skills you have that can benefit people. It’s easy to guess that if a person is well versed, for example, in breeding crayfish at home or chinchillas, he is unlikely to be interested in growing flowers or seeds. Like any type of entrepreneurial activity, a dacha business will need to be registered with the Federal Tax Service.

Beekeeping

If there are fruit trees, shrubs and other honey-bearing plants near the summer cottage, you can organize the work of an apiary. At all times, beekeeping has brought good and stable profits to people, because such products are always in great consumer demand.

Even a small farm can provide quite a decent income, since in addition to honey, beekeepers sell wax, honeycombs, propolis, broil and other products that the apiary produces. Before you start organizing a business, you should understand the specifics of this type of activity.

A beekeeper needs to know how to place hives on the site, properly disinfect them, care for and breed insects, work with special equipment, and collect honey. If a person decides to open an apiary, it is worth remembering that it is undesirable to simultaneously breed livestock, since bees do not tolerate being in the vicinity of animals - this reduces honey production.

To increase the amount of honey, it does not hurt to acquire a cargo transport that transports the hives to fields and other places where there are suitable plants. To organize an apiary of 5-10 bee colonies, large investments are not required. During one season, a family can produce about 40 kg of honey (at a market value of 300 rubles per 1 kg, the benefit becomes obvious).

Playground

Often people come to their dachas with entire families, so there are usually quite a few children present in the villages. This fact should be used to make a profit, since on your own site you can organize a playground or a swimming pool for children. It also makes sense to consider installing equipment such as:

• inflatable trampoline;
• swing;
• slide

This kind of business idea can be very useful and profitable, since parents will be able to leave their children in the children's playground for several hours or even the whole day. It doesn’t hurt to think about what activities will be of interest to little visitors. As a rule, towns or game rooms in dachas operate on the principle of summer camps or development centers, and payment for services is charged hourly.

As for investments in organizing a business, they depend on the capabilities of the entrepreneur. For example, to equip a playroom, you need to invest about 30 thousand rubles, and installing swings and equipment on the playground will cost 20 thousand rubles.

Country workshop

If a person has a desire to make money from handicrafts, some building on the property can be converted into a country workshop. This type of business will become a profitable business for various kinds of craftsmen, because there will be plenty of work in the village. For example, many people come to country houses in their own cars. Very often they require minor repairs, so it makes sense to organize a small workshop and provide the appropriate services.

In addition, residents of the village often break down all kinds of equipment, agricultural tools and implements, as well as various household items. All this will provide the handyman with a sufficient number of orders, and he will be able to earn good money.

It is better to organize the workshop activities in a garage or small shed. It is imperative to install a workbench and attach a sharpening machine to it. As for equipment such as a chainsaw, grinder, hammer drill and welding machine, you can rent them at first. People will quickly spread information about a good master among themselves, so he won’t even have to advertise his activities.

Advice: a master can organize the production of wooden toys at his summer cottage. They are in great demand among buyers, and accordingly, such activities can bring a stable income.

Bathhouse rental

This option for doing business is ideal for those people whose dacha is located near the city (and, of course, if it has a modern bathhouse). Agree, there will always be plenty of people willing to take a steam bath, so it will bring good profits. The attendance of the bathhouse is influenced not only by the location, but also by the beautiful area near the dacha, as well as the high-quality interior decoration of the steam room and cleanliness. To create comfortable conditions for visitors, the following must be installed on the site:

• a place to relax (preferably with a gazebo);
• barbecue or grill installation;
• swimming pool with cool water.

A bathhouse can generate stable income all year round. Many people prefer to visit the same places, so with the right organization, you can attract many regular customers in a fairly short time. To do this, it is worth preheating the bathhouse at the time agreed with customers, constantly replenishing the supply of firewood, and also ensuring the availability of various drinks and snacks. Cold beer and water are in great demand among bathhouse visitors, so you should worry about the assortment.

Often clients of bathhouses pre-negotiate with the owners the possibility of organizing a feast. This can bring good profits, because barbecue and various dishes in such establishments are quite expensive. The role of bathhouse attendant is often played by the owner of the dacha plot himself. If necessary, he can attract an assistant who wants to earn extra money in his free time.

Many summer residents have already assessed the prospects of this business and are investing money in the construction of bathhouses on their plots. If you organize your own business correctly, investments can be returned in less than a year. If you already have a ready-made bathhouse, small investments are needed at the start. The entrepreneur will need to purchase hats, brooms, wooden tubs, and also supply his own enterprise with firewood and provisions.

Ecotourism

In recent years, such a business direction as ecotourism has gained great popularity. It is known that the frantic pace of life of people in large cities, where strong atmospheric pollution prevails, leads to various diseases. Therefore, many residents of megacities try to go outside the city to actively relax in nature and gain strength.

What is needed to organize tourist excursions? First of all, it is extremely important that the dacha is located in a picturesque area (preferably with a pond) and not far from the highway. Organizing ecotourism requires considerable investment from a person. This is due to the fact that it will be necessary to develop a program of events for people coming on vacation. Many entrepreneurs organize, for example, farms for breeding ostriches and other exotic animals, where everyone can not only have a good time, learn a lot about themselves, but also try the producer’s signature dishes.

On large land holdings, it is possible to organize a whole complex where people can relax comfortably in nature. To do this, it makes sense to install a children's playground, prepare a parking lot, build a mini-motel, open a cafe or organize a kitchen with the ability to prepare meals yourself in nature.

Important: Despite the fact that an ecotourism business requires a lot of capital at the start, investments in the development of the enterprise will pay off with interest, since there will not be a decrease in lovers of quality outdoor recreation in the near future.

Land lease

You can rent out a plot of land in your own dacha and earn good money from it. Who would be interested in such a service? First, you need to understand that not every person has a country house where he could relax.

People are ready to rent summer cottages to spend their time there on weekends. In addition, the use of someone else's land for money may be required by those entrepreneurs who want to organize their own production of various agricultural products there.

If the area of ​​the plot exceeds 6 acres, the land can be used to grow, for example, medicinal herbs, flowers and other crops in large quantities. Clients should be found at city business forums or through advertisements in the media. Renting summer cottages allows you to receive passive income and not invest money in the development of the enterprise.

Animal breeding

Breeding animals and poultry at your own dacha can also bring very good profits. This allows you to receive income from the sale of:

• meat;
• milk;
• fur;
• young animals

If you have several cows, you will be able to earn a very decent income. One animal gives about 30 liters of milk per day, which will bring 900 rubles. In addition, calves appear every year - they can be sold live and get extra money from this. In addition, milk can be used to produce cheese, butter, sour cream and cottage cheese, for which there will always be regular buyers. The same applies to raising goats at home. In addition to dairy products, their content provides meat, which is valued on a par with lamb. Goat wool can be used to make yarn and make clothes or socks, which will additionally allow entrepreneurs to make good money.

It is impossible not to mention the prospects for breeding rabbits. To maintain them, you will need to purchase cages, which should be placed in a spacious barn. In regions with harsh climates, it is recommended to provide indoor heating. There are no problems with the sale of products (meat and skins), since such goods are quickly sold out at collective farm markets at a good price.

At the dacha, it will be possible to organize activities for raising poultry - quails, chickens, ducks, turkeys or guinea fowl. Their meat and eggs are at a high price, so entrepreneurs will constantly receive income. To raise poultry, you need to allocate a spacious building where you need to install electricity and heating. Costs for purchasing feed and utilities are relatively small. In addition, it doesn’t hurt to raise chickens and sell them, which will also allow you to earn extra money.

Growing plants

You can organize a profitable business on your plot of land by growing various plants. To decide on the choice of crops, you should focus on the climatic conditions of the region of residence. For example, in the south of the country, when installing a greenhouse, there is a chance to get crops all year round, which cannot be said about the northern regions.

The specificity of such activity is that an entrepreneur should not switch to growing different types of plants; it is better to focus on one thing. A good result will be obtained by growing greens, which can be sold daily at collective farm markets. The main advantage of this direction of crop production is the rapid growth of crops:

• dill;
• parsley;
• basilica;
• salad;
• green onions;
• celery;
• cilantro.

Every summer resident, if desired, can start growing mushrooms at home (oyster mushrooms and champignons), and entrepreneurs do not require large investments. For a mini-farm, the premises of barns, cellars, garages and other buildings are used. The mushrooms are grown in bags of compost that need to be watered periodically. On an area of ​​50 m? You can collect up to ten tons of mature mushrooms. Wholesalers buy champignons for 100 rubles per 1 kg. The profit is obvious.

Important: Growing strawberries and wild strawberries at home brings quite a good income. To do this, it is recommended to find a room, place shelves with bags in it, conduct communications and grow crops using one of the simple technologies (there are many of them on the Internet). Competition in this niche today is insignificant, which makes this business very promising.

Early vegetables are expensive and therefore profitable to grow. To organize such activities, it is necessary to build greenhouses, provide water for irrigation, and provide lighting and heating. Cucumbers, tomatoes, and garlic are in great demand. If the prospect of retail trade in vegetables and fruits is not appealing, you can sell your products in large quantities to wholesalers (albeit at a lower price).

Making money at a smokehouse

Despite the fact that many dachas have smokehouses, most people cook meat and fish for themselves. For this reason, the business of producing and selling smoked meats does not have huge competition. Nevertheless, an entrepreneur who wants to make money in this area will have to face a number of difficulties.

First of all, you need to decide on production volumes, calculate the dimensions of the smokehouse and the possible quantity of finished products. You should also obtain permission for your activities from Rospotrebnadzor and the sanitary and epidemiological station, since it will be related to the production and sale of food products.

There are usually no problems with the sale of smoked meat, fish and poultry. They are readily accepted by catering establishments, retail stores and market resellers. If you combine raising animals with smoking meat, you can achieve good results and scale your business over time.

Growing seeds and seedlings

This type of activity is suitable for summer residents who like to work on the land. Seeds, seedlings and seedlings can be grown in parallel with agricultural crops, vegetables, fruits and bring additional income during the season. To grow seedlings, you need to build greenhouses and provide communications to them. Even in small areas you can place several thousand bushes of various crops. Seedlings of bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers and cabbage are in good demand.

It is also worth considering the option of growing fruit tree seedlings, especially those species that produce a harvest within a few years after being transplanted to a permanent location. They can be planted in spacious summer cottages. There is always great consumer demand for such products, so the entrepreneur will not be left without income.

How much can you earn from your personal plot?

It is easy to guess that the level of income from your summer cottage will largely depend on the chosen direction of activity (it is also influenced by the geographical location of the site, the presence of communications, the type of buildings and other factors).

If the dacha plot is located within or near the city, it can be rented out. The price for it can fluctuate between 20-50 thousand rubles per month. Growing onions and greens allows entrepreneurs to earn about 20-30 thousand rubles per month. At the same time, it is possible to harvest from your plot up to 6 times in 1 year.

If the owner of a country property decides to grow and sell flowers, his profit can exceed 100 thousand rubles monthly. Investments in the flower business pay off within 6-8 months. The most popular crop is the rose, so you can grow its popular varieties on your plot and make decent money.

A small apiary of 10 bee families can produce about 400 kg of honey per season. If you sell it at 300 rubles per 1 kg, the income will be about 120 thousand rubles. Taking into account the sale of insect life products, profit can reach 150 thousand rubles.

When breeding rabbits, you will be able to earn about 50-70 thousand rubles monthly. As we have already said, entrepreneurs receive income from the sale of meat and skins. The activity is quite promising, since there is no high competition in this area. It is also worth taking a close look at the companies that provide various services in the holiday village. In their absence, you can organize the work of a hairdresser or a car repair shop, which will undoubtedly be in great demand.

Your own plot of land is a treasure trove of opportunities for additional and basic income. What can you do at the dacha? There are two main areas of agriculture: crop production and livestock production. Let's look at possible options for their implementation.

Crop production

In this area, business can develop in two directions: growing directly products, seeds or seedlings. Growing vegetables and fruits for harvest is highly dependent on weather conditions. Hail, drought, late frosts - all this affects the yield of a particular crop and earnings will be at risk. It is safer in this regard to grow seeds and seedlings.

On your site you can grow:

Potato

To implement this idea, a couple of tens of acres will be enough. The growing technology is simple and has long been known to everyone:

• plow the ground;
• plant potatoes;
• spud;
• when it grows, dig it up;
• sell.

On average, from 10 acres it is possible to harvest about 3 tons of vegetables and make a profit of $750-1125. Revenue depends on when to sell it: in the fall - cheaper, in the spring - more expensive. But in the latter case, you need to have a place to store it. In the northern regions, one harvest is harvested per year. In the southern regions, early ripening potatoes are planted and two crops are harvested.

Tomatoes

Many people build a business on tomatoes. Since early spring, greenhouses of our own production have been installed, approximately 10 meters long and 6 meters wide. Some people install stoves in them and heat them with wood. A plot of 13 acres is enough to accommodate a couple of thousand bushes. The harvest is usually handed over to resellers or taken to be sold to the end consumer.

Some are mastering this direction for growing seeds. But then, for the business to generate income, you need to cultivate more than one variety of tomatoes. And, of course, grow them in sufficient quantities for sale. In addition, it is necessary to create a customer base of buyers.

Early cultures

This idea also requires a greenhouse, preferably a polycarbonate one, with heating, of course. It is not cheap, but greens and early vegetables from late spring and early summer are sold very well even on our own, without intermediaries.

Strawberry

Almost everyone at their dacha grows strawberries for their own needs. But it is easy to build a business on it, especially when cultivating early varieties. From 10 acres you can get 1.5-2 thousand kg and sell it for about 4.7-6.2 thousand dollars. And this is only for the variety that produces one harvest per year. Multi-yielding varieties produce more products. Plus, it’s worth organizing a business selling seedlings of this very strawberry. One hundred square meters can accommodate 4-4.5 thousand bushes. This means that from 10 acres the income will average 25-28 thousand dollars, depending on the variety of seedlings.

Seedling

On your own plot of land you can organize the cultivation of various seedlings. In the spring, many people begin to plant various vegetables in their dachas, but do not have the opportunity to grow their own seedlings. Therefore, they are looking for where they can buy it. Earning money from seedlings is quite profitable, but is seasonal.

Mushrooms

If you have a warm basement at your dacha, you can start a business like growing mushrooms. Then you will harvest all year round. If there is no basement on the site, you can cultivate them in a greenhouse, but then your business will be seasonal. Oyster mushroom is the easiest to grow. Champignons will require a little more experience and care. There are other varieties of mushrooms, but in this case you need to study the market so as not to grow unclaimed products.

Seedlings

Most often, a seedling business is done by growing grape shoots. True, this idea requires certain knowledge. Up to 50 varieties of different grapes are grown at the dacha. In open ground, approximately 4-5 thousand seedlings are placed on one hundred square meters. If you sell all of them, you can earn 84.4-225 thousand dollars. But today almost everyone is engaged in growing them. With such competition, it is unlikely that it will be possible to sell all the goods. Although today the demand is quite high, as many have begun to develop viticulture on their plot of land. You can also grow fruit tree seedlings at your dacha. This technology is more complicated, but it is also much easier to sell them.

Livestock

You can make a profit not only from land. It can be used to raise not only animals, but also birds. Moreover, they can be kept not only for meat, but also for other related products: milk, butter, cheeses, eggs, young animals.

Poultry farming

It is believed that due to high feed prices, raising poultry for meat is a low-profit business. But you need to figure out how much the final product costs: if the cost of eggs and meat increases, then the profitability of the business will increase. You can also reduce the cost of keeping birds by growing feed on your own property. Or you can organize pens for birds to walk.

But the greatest return comes from raising poultry in the countryside for the sake of eggs for the incubator and young animals. Such an egg is ten times the cost of a food egg, and chickens are much more expensive than eggs. Young meat birds are even more expensive: turkeys, geese, ducks.

Rabbits

Implementation of this idea at the proper level can become a highly profitable business. Firstly, rabbit meat is dietary and in high demand. Secondly, the sale of young animals to summer residents in the spring also provides a consistently high income. Many of them, settling in their dachas in the summer, raise rabbits for their own consumption.

Bees

Bee products, in particular honey, are highly valued. But to raise bees in the country, you need to have at least basic knowledge about these insects and their life characteristics.

Goats

One goat can produce up to five liters of milk per day. This is enough for one family, but if you keep several goats, you can sell the milk. It costs more than cow milk, as it is considered more valuable and healthier. In addition, you can sell cottage cheese, sour cream, and butter. Additionally, you can sell goat down, which is very valuable. To develop this idea, you can organize the sale of goat kids.

Pigs

The traditional occupation in rural areas is fattening pigs. You can get a lot of meat and lard from them, which will always find its buyer. But this idea has its risks. If an African swine fever epidemic occurs among pigs in the area of ​​your dacha, the animals must be destroyed with modest compensation.

Cows

As with goats, a cow can produce a lot of milk and related dairy products. In addition, you can raise cows for meat, which will also always find its buyer.

Worms

Not everyone today practices such a business on their site. But in vain. Mineral fertilizers are known to kill soil. But worms bring it back to life and increase productivity. In addition to the fact that worms can produce excellent fertilizer, they can be sold as food for birds, cows, pigs, fur-bearing animals, and fish. Moreover, the process of growing them is simple.

Gone are the days when many people with gardening tools went out of town every weekend to weed and dig at their own dacha. Today the situation has changed dramatically - lovers of outdoor activities are increasingly thinking about turning land plots into a source of income.

There are a huge number of small business ideas for country property owners. Maintaining a dacha can bring not only pleasure from spending time there, but also good profit for its owners. Let's talk about the most popular types of commercial activities that can be organized at minimal cost.

Like any type of entrepreneurial activity, a dacha business will need to be registered with the Federal Tax Service.

Beekeeping

If there are fruit trees, shrubs and other honey-bearing plants near the summer cottage, you can organize the work of an apiary. At all times, it has brought good and stable profits to people, because such products are always in great consumer demand.

Even a small farm can provide quite a decent income, since in addition to honey, beekeepers sell wax, honeycombs, propolis, broil and other products that the apiary produces. Before you start organizing a business, you should understand the specifics of this type of activity.

During one season, a family can produce about 40 kg of honey (at a market value of 300 rubles per 1 kg, the benefit becomes obvious).

Playground

Often people come to their dachas with entire families, so there are usually quite a few children present in the villages. This fact should be used to make a profit, since on your own site you can organize a playground or a swimming pool for children. It also makes sense to consider installing equipment such as:

• inflatable trampoline;
• swing;
• slide

This kind of business idea can be very useful and profitable, since parents will be able to leave their children in the children's playground for several hours or even the whole day. It doesn’t hurt to think about what activities will be of interest to little visitors. As a rule, towns or game rooms in dachas operate on the principle of summer camps or development centers, and payment for services is charged hourly.

As for investments in organizing a business, they depend on the capabilities of the entrepreneur. For example, to equip a playroom, you need to invest about 30 thousand rubles, and installing swings and equipment on the playground will cost 20 thousand rubles.

Country workshop

If a person has a desire, some building on the site can be converted into a country workshop. This type of business will become a profitable business for various kinds of craftsmen, because there will be plenty of work in the village. For example, many people come to country houses in their own cars. Very often they require minor repairs, so it makes sense to organize a small workshop and provide the appropriate services.

In addition, residents of the village often break down all kinds of equipment, agricultural tools and implements, as well as various household items. All this will provide the handyman with a sufficient number of orders, and he will be able to earn good money.

It is better to organize the workshop activities in a garage or small shed. It is imperative to install a workbench and attach a sharpening machine to it. As for equipment such as a chainsaw, grinder, hammer drill and welding machine, you can rent them at first. People will quickly spread information about a good master among themselves, so he won’t even have to advertise his activities.

Advice: the master can organize it at his dacha. They are in great demand among buyers, and accordingly, such activities can bring a stable income.

Bathhouse rental

This option for doing business is ideal for those people whose dacha is located near the city (and, of course, if it has a modern bathhouse). Agree, there will always be plenty of people willing to take a steam bath, so it will bring good profits. The attendance of the bathhouse is influenced not only by the location, but also by the beautiful area near the dacha, as well as the high-quality interior decoration of the steam room and cleanliness. To create comfortable conditions for visitors, the following must be installed on the site:

• a place to relax (preferably with a gazebo);
• barbecue or grill installation;
• swimming pool with cool water.

A bathhouse can generate stable income all year round. Many people prefer to visit the same places, so with the right organization, you can attract many regular customers in a fairly short time. To do this, it is worth preheating the bathhouse at the time agreed with customers, constantly replenishing the supply of firewood, and also ensuring the availability of various drinks and snacks. Cold beer and water are in great demand among bathhouse visitors, so you should worry about the assortment.

Often clients of bathhouses pre-negotiate with the owners the possibility of organizing a feast. This can bring good profits, because barbecue and various dishes in such establishments are quite expensive. The role of bathhouse attendant is often played by the owner of the dacha plot himself. If necessary, he can attract an assistant who wishes.

Many summer residents have already assessed the prospects of this business and are investing money in the construction of bathhouses on their plots. If you organize your own business correctly, investments can be returned in less than a year. If you already have a ready-made bathhouse, small investments are needed at the start. The entrepreneur will need to purchase hats, brooms, wooden tubs, and also supply his own enterprise with firewood and provisions.

Ecotourism

In recent years, such a business direction as ecotourism has gained great popularity. It is known that the frantic pace of life of people in large cities, where strong atmospheric pollution prevails, leads to various diseases. Therefore, many residents of megacities try to go outside the city to actively relax in nature and gain strength.

What is needed to organize tourist excursions? First of all, it is extremely important that the dacha is located in a picturesque area (preferably with a pond) and not far from the highway. Organizing ecotourism requires considerable investment from a person. This is due to the fact that it will be necessary to develop a program of events for people coming on vacation. Many entrepreneurs organize, for example, farms for breeding ostriches and other exotic animals, where everyone can not only have a good time, learn a lot about themselves, but also try the producer’s signature dishes.

On large land holdings, it is possible to organize a whole complex where people can relax comfortably in nature. To do this, it makes sense to install a children's playground, prepare a parking lot, build a mini-motel, open a cafe or organize a kitchen with the ability to prepare meals yourself in nature.

Important: Despite the fact that an ecotourism business requires a lot of capital at the start, investments in the development of the enterprise will pay off with interest, since there will not be a decrease in lovers of quality outdoor recreation in the near future.

Land lease

You can rent out a plot of land in your own dacha and earn good money from it. Who would be interested in such a service? First, you need to understand that not every person has a country house where he could relax.

People are ready to rent summer cottages to spend their time there on weekends. In addition, the use of someone else's land for money may be required by those entrepreneurs who want to organize their own production of various agricultural products there.

If the area of ​​the plot exceeds 6 acres, the land can be used to grow, for example, medicinal herbs, flowers and other crops in large quantities. Clients should be found at city business forums or through advertisements in the media. Renting summer cottages allows you to receive passive income and not invest money in the development of the enterprise.

Animal breeding

Breeding animals and poultry at your own dacha can also bring very good profits. This allows you to receive income from the sale of:

• meat;
• milk;
• fur;
• young animals

If you have several cows, you will be able to earn a very decent income. One animal gives about 30 liters of milk per day, which will bring 900 rubles. In addition, calves appear every year - they can be sold live and get extra money from this. In addition, milk can be used to produce cheese, butter, sour cream and cottage cheese, for which there will always be regular buyers. The same applies to raising goats at home. In addition to dairy products, their content provides meat, which is valued on a par with lamb. Goat wool can be used to make yarn and make clothes or socks, which will additionally allow entrepreneurs to make good money.

It is impossible not to mention the prospects for breeding rabbits. To maintain them, you will need to purchase cages, which should be placed in a spacious barn. In regions with harsh climates, it is recommended to provide indoor heating. There are no problems with the sale of products (meat and skins), since such goods are quickly sold out at collective farm markets at a good price.

At the dacha, it will be possible to organize activities for raising poultry - quails, chickens, ducks, turkeys or guinea fowl. Their meat and eggs are at a high price, so entrepreneurs will constantly receive income. To raise poultry, you need to allocate a spacious building where you need to install electricity and heating. Costs for purchasing feed and utilities are relatively small. In addition, it doesn’t hurt to raise chickens and sell them, which will also allow you to earn extra money.

Growing plants

You can organize a profitable business on your plot of land by growing various plants. To decide on the choice of crops, you should focus on the climatic conditions of the region of residence. For example, in the south of the country, when installing a greenhouse, there is a chance to get crops all year round, which cannot be said about the northern regions.

The specificity of such activity is that an entrepreneur should not switch to growing different types of plants; it is better to focus on one thing. A good result will be obtained by growing greens, which can be sold daily at collective farm markets. The main advantage of this direction of crop production is the rapid growth of crops:

• dill;
• parsley;
• basilica;
• salad;
• green onions;
• celery;
• cilantro.

Every summer resident, if desired, can start growing mushrooms at home (oyster mushrooms and champignons), and entrepreneurs do not require large investments. For a mini-farm, the premises of barns, cellars, garages and other buildings are used. The mushrooms are grown in bags of compost that need to be watered periodically. In an area of ​​50 m², you can collect up to ten tons of mature mushrooms. Wholesalers buy champignons for 100 rubles per 1 kg. The profit is obvious.

Important: Strawberries at home also bring quite a good income. To do this, it is recommended to find a room, place shelves with bags in it, conduct communications and grow crops using one of the simple technologies (there are many of them on the Internet). Competition in this niche today is insignificant, which makes this business very promising.

Early vegetables are expensive and therefore profitable to grow. To organize such activities, it is necessary to build greenhouses, provide water for irrigation, and provide lighting and heating. Cucumbers, tomatoes, and garlic are in great demand. If the prospect of retail is not attractive, you can sell your products in large quantities to wholesale companies (albeit at a lower price).

Making money at a smokehouse

Despite the fact that many dachas have smokehouses, most people cook meat and fish for themselves. For this reason, the business of producing and selling smoked meats does not have huge competition. Nevertheless, an entrepreneur who wants to make money in this area will have to face a number of difficulties.

First of all, you need to decide on production volumes, calculate the dimensions of the smokehouse and the possible quantity of finished products. You should also obtain permission for your activities from Rospotrebnadzor and the sanitary and epidemiological station, since it will be related to the production and sale of food products.

There are usually no problems with the sale of smoked meat, fish and poultry. They are readily accepted by catering establishments, retail stores and market resellers. If you combine raising animals with smoking meat, you can achieve good results and scale your business over time.

Growing seeds and seedlings

This type of activity is suitable for summer residents who like to work on the land. Seeds, seedlings and seedlings can be grown in parallel with agricultural crops, vegetables, fruits and bring additional income during the season. To grow seedlings, you need to build greenhouses and provide communications to them. Even in small areas you can place several thousand bushes of various crops. Seedlings of bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers and cabbage are in good demand.

It is also worth considering the option of growing fruit tree seedlings, especially those species that produce a harvest within a few years after being transplanted to a permanent location. They can be planted in spacious summer cottages. There is always great consumer demand for such products, so the entrepreneur will not be left without income.

How much can you earn from your personal plot?

It is easy to guess that the level of income from your summer cottage will largely depend on the chosen direction of activity (it is also influenced by the geographical location of the site, the presence of communications, the type of buildings and other factors).

If the dacha plot is located within or near the city, it can be rented out. The price for it can fluctuate between 20-50 thousand rubles per month. Growing onions and greens allows entrepreneurs to earn about 20-30 thousand rubles per month. At the same time, it is possible to harvest from your plot up to 6 times in 1 year.

If the owner of a country property decides to grow and sell flowers, his profit can exceed 100 thousand rubles monthly. Investments in the flower business pay off within 6-8 months. The most popular crop is the rose, so you can grow its popular varieties on your plot and make decent money.

A small apiary of 10 bee families can produce about 400 kg of honey per season. If you sell it at 300 rubles per 1 kg, the income will be about 120 thousand rubles. Taking into account the sale of insect life products, profit can reach 150 thousand rubles.

When breeding rabbits, you will be able to earn about 50-70 thousand rubles monthly. As we have already said, entrepreneurs receive income from the sale of meat and skins. The activity is quite promising, since there is no high competition in this area. It is also worth taking a close look at the companies that provide various services in the holiday village. In their absence, you can organize the work of a hairdresser or a car repair shop, which will undoubtedly be in great demand.
