Title: Looking for a smallholding/farm to rent in Yorkshire or Lincolnshire
Post by: ForkinAllotment on March 30, 2020, 03:50:41 am: I know its probably a long shot but...

My dream is to rent a smallholding or small farm in Yorkshire or Lincolnshire, but the issue I face is that I have no money to pay a deposit or first months rent or the likes

I am looking for something along the lines of pay when the land/business makes money, I would be willing to setup a market garden, farm shop and any other business needed to make money

I am a YouTuber (Forkin' Allotment) and gardening social media personality but my YouTube channel does not currently provide me an income, therefore I am on benefits currently, if I had a smallholding I would be able to make more varied videos, and update my social media daily if not many times a day, and I would be able to use that income to pay towards the rent if needed

I am looking for something that can be managed by 2 people and maybe a few volunteers if I could find willing volunteers, and at least a 2 bedroom property that allows pets too

If anyone knows how I can make my dream a reality please let me know

Thanks
Forkin' Allotment

The real question is where to even find one?
