An everything farm is a farm which chooses diversification over specialization as an organizing principle for their production. Everything farms pursue economies of scope rather than economies of scale as the economic model for their success as a business enterprise.

Also called an "Old MacDonald Farm" because of the diversity of animals and crops found there, everything farms used to be the norm for farms everywhere before the era of agro-industrial specialization.
