I have been a smallholder for about 20 years, but have only become a "proper" smallholder in the past year, with keeping my horse at home (kept in livery before), then starting meat rabbit farming, then acquiring chickens and some sheep as company for my horse. I came across this site in my search for info on tanning the skins of my rabbits. It really looks like a very helpful site, and it is nice to see what people with the same interestes as myself, are doing, elsewhere in the world!
