we are more of a microholder
Thats a new one  ;D

I wonder what that makes me then  ??? -- a micro-microholder?

That would be a nanoholder?  ;)
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

Hi D,
We have just joined the forum and are in South Somerset, maybe us Somerset smallholders could set up our own mini community !
My partner and I are poultry breeders, we only started out with 3 Bantams around April last year, we now have around 80 chickens - including chicks and growers and 3 incubators.
We also are due to collect a pair of Oxford Sandy and Black Gilts on Saturday to add to the collection, if only we could find an acre of so of land we could have a few more things that take our fancy.
If anyone ever hears of any and could pass on information that would be fantastic.

We are looking forward to joining in many discussions in the future.

Warmest of Regards
Robert & Sarah.
South West Poultry.
