Hello, I am new to the accidental smallholder. It has always been my dream to have a smallholding; some of the ways I have thought about of to make enough money to get by include: orchard (selling fruit, jams etc), petting farm, vegetables that would be used for my own consumption, also for veg boxes, and to sell at markets/farm shop, brewery, vine yard (not sure how possible this one is), milk from animals, cheese made from animals' milk, to name a few. Ok, so I am very much at the dreaming stage, and these are only ideas that I have had, and of course need a lot of research into. My main question, as the title asks, is it possible to have a successful (when I say this, I mean one that pays the main costs, and not money for extras!) smallholding which doesn't require me to sell animals for meat? I am a very strict vegetarian, and even if animals have been raised organically, I couldn't bring myself to having them killed - I wouldn't intend to keep many, just enough for a small petting 'farm', and to keep and look after, as I love animals and nature - hence wanting to have a smallholding in the future. Help would be very much appreciated!
