Title: Hello to all
Post by: Richard H on September 23, 2016, 01:22:53 pm

Hi all,

Just recently acquired 10 acres, currently being farmed by others but want to start my own enterprise.

Currently working full time and the enterprise must  in the long term be financially self sufficient.

Land alongside holiday cottages so any animals should be visitor friendly.

Please offer your thoughts and animals -

Hello and welcome from  :sunshine: Carnoustie  :wave:

Are they your holiday cottages?

Get the report by the Soil Association called "making a living off 10 acres" or something similar

They are my cottages and want the farming to add to the holiday experience
