I have decided to take the plunge and see if I can rent a smallholding before buying one. So I wonder if anyone knows of anything that might help.
Been looking at greenshifters site & am investigating some of those.
I am looking for less than 10 acres and some barn storage(classic car).
I would prefer to stay local to where I am (Northampton, midlands) but I am realistic that I would have to move. Happy to do that but not north of Manchester - sorry Scotland.
Thanks for any help.

have you thought of starting small, to get the taste keep a couple of sheep on a couple of acres and build up from there. then know need to move from where you are.

We are just weeks away from moving into a rented 2 acre smallholding.  We have been looking on and of since 2009.  We found ours through our local smallholders society as we both wanted to stay working in Lincoln.


Good luck

Thanks for the info tizaala - great value but possibly a little too much land but trying to convince my OH to consider that far west anyway.
