Somebody mentioned in a post below that he hates the term. I have to agree. I don't make my whole living farming, I am a self employed electrician as well. There were times after the '06 housing crash when farming was a huge part of my income, and I couldn't have got by without it. There are also times of the year when it takes up most of my time. Right now, building is good. I don't need the farm income as much, so I try to reinvest it back into the farm. That way, the farm will be bigger and better when I need it again. To me, if you are making food or fiber, and trying to run it as a business, than you are a farmer. If you are growing food for food to eat, or seedstock to make more food, than you are a farmer. I had an old man who started a nice sheep operation after retirement tell me once, "I don't need the income from lambs, but I want to make a profit, because that's how you keep score." I would call a hobby farm somebody who just grows things to let or look at with no regard for business. What do you think?
