      I suppose it depends a bit. Most of the people who want a hobby farm also want the amenities that big cities offer, so the hobby farms tend to be at the edges of the outer-ring suburbs which could be considered sprawl. There’s also working farms in those sorts of areas, but I’d not call that sprawl since those farms are using the land productively and in most cases were there long before the suburbs started encroaching on them.

      A rural hobby farm out in the middle of nowhere I’d be less inclined to call sprawl.

      A hobby farm is absolutely sprawl. I’m not going to go out here and say every farm is sprawl;but if your farm is just for hobby? Yeah absolutely. Though to be fair it really does depend on yields…
