Hi
We have just bought a small holding in the East Riding of Yorkshire after moving back this way from West Sussex, It feels like there is sooo much to do. We already have planning for 5 holiday lets as well as 4 acres of unloved paddocks and a very large natural pond (which seems to have no fish left in it???).
We bought from the estate of a gentleman who is no longer with us, which means when we bought we didn't know what we had, or what worked and the weeds covered everything. Working our way through the weeds was a voyage of discovery, cement mixers, compressors, power washers all potentially in working order with a little know how and various bits of building materials. The holiday lets had been started but not in line with the planning so we are having to go backwards to go forwards.
We would like the plot to pay for itself eventually so are looking at animals with income potential even if its just providing for our needs, a decent size veg/fruit garden, poss a farm shop..... loads of ideas but so far we have just cut down the weeds, found a couple of lawned area's, started work on the holiday lets and bought 2 cats from the RSPCA.
In fact we have very little know-how as have never having kept livestock before, or had much more than a small greenhouse, but fully believe we will get there in the end, lots of reading and talking over the winter months and take it step by step.
All advice welcome or just a chat.
