I run an LLC. The main product is honey (I'm a beekeeper) and I also sell craft items, such as candles and road-kill fur products.A lot of my other hobbies are not money makers but at least money savers. I have a garden, hunt, brew my own beer, make my own wine, and perform all sorts of home repair.

I know this is looked down upon around these parts, but I own real estate. I started by buying my own place over 15 years ago and every time I move, I turn the previous place into a rental investment. Say what you will about "rent seeking", but we've poured lots of money into maintaining our properties and providing people, who want to rent, with a clean, well maintained, affordable place to live.

I give bike tours of my city for tourists (pre-covid although we are slowly getting back to it).I make beer money at most, nothing ground breaking but its fun to ride a bike, tell people about the history in my city and meet fun people.
