The article considers the experience of functioning of personal farmsteads in the agro-industrial region in the context of a pandemic, based on the theoretical positions of outstanding Russian agricultural economists. Based on statistical data, content analysis of regional media and comparative results of the 2016/2021 survey. The main positive phenomena in the development of this sector of the agricultural economy are identified: stable dynamics of development, including at the level of relations between institutional entities. The main problems associated with the lack of awareness of the rural population about the institution of personal farmsteads, the role of cooperation are identified. The obtained results allowed us to draw a conclusion about the need for the work of state and municipal authorities in terms of not only direct state support for personal subsidiary farms, but also education of the rural population.
