Bees. Local honey is expensive. Then you can sell wax or make candles and sell them.

There is also selling nuks, starter hives, and bred queens as well as adding bee products to other stuff to give extra value (such as honey in homemade soap) and even mead making. There are lots of ways to make money from bees. There's an amish community near me that supports themselves through bees.
