The signs of differentiation between owners of private farmsteads taking into account the development of production potential are stated. High production potential of private farmsteads led to appearance of groups of families considering family farming as the only source of well-being resources. Essentially informal farmers, they are subject to significant restrictions generated by institutionalization of embedded market products and heavy workload on the whole family.
