capitalism is a way of organizing society such that the means of production are owned by private interest, and the working class is employed by the owners to produce goods. a farmer working their own land is not actung as a capitalist.

A farmer farming their land and sell it is absolutely participating in capitalism and moreso if they hired farm labor.

if they have hired labor, that does change the analysis, but selling the product of your own labor is not capitalism.
