Its very small... but if ever you want to come and see how we do things here, you're very welcome -   PM me.

We just have a proper back garden smallholding with chooks, 2 goats, pigs, quail, rabbits, guinea pigs, cats and dogs. And a full time job!
So are you planning to move soon, or still dreaming?!

Hi Greenman, welcome to the site! Best of luck getting a smallholding, it took me several years to get my hands on some land close to home (Central Scotland) and now have 7 acres. Unfortunately, I have to work rather hard for the next few years to pay for it and improve it before I can really get started in earnest.

Hi all and thanks for the welcomes and info again!

Just to update you, I have a new plan to start a back garden smallholding whilst looking for the correct property in Derbyshire with a little land. I will also be keeping my existing full time job. I have completely ditched my plans for self sufficiency, at least for the foreseeable future anyway.

Speak to you all soon and best of luck with all of your various ventures!

Well thought out plans sometimes have a way of hitting back at you but good luck with this one.  Sounds a good start if you are young enough.  We had a croft and missed the chance of making a go of it as we wanted too many material things, and kept our jobs.  Learn in your garden but don't wait too lonmg before taking the plunge or you may find life has passed you by!

Welcome, Deblob

I'm in the Wee County now - used to be in Aberdeenshire - are you further North than that?
