Hello from a wet and windy Derbyshire (just down the road from the Cheshire border too!)

Hello from wild windy and showery north Cumbria.

Have fun with your 12 acres - you could consider piggies  :pig: to tidy it up for you... oink!
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 from North Yorkshire!

We have about 10 acres, which we put 3 Highland Cattle on last year and have had a local farmer's sheep on this year.  Got 2 saddlebacks just about to go to slaughter for bacon (yum!).

It's a bit of hard work, especially in winter, but the best move we've made!

Enjoy !!!
