Most farmers are producing a commodity and there efficiency will win out every time over the small farmer.
But farm to table restaurants are willing to pay a premium for a steady local supply. Some people are willing to pay a premium for organic and non-GMO produce.
The small farmer is able to do something the larger farmer is unable or unwilling to do and receives a much higher price for it.
Small farms are exploding in Detroit. But they're having a problem getting title to the land they're farming.
