Breeding Shetland cattle and selling breeding stock to new keepers and selling grass fed, rare-breed beef to customers locally and further afield...

This year we've had 8 calves so far and all 8 are boys - so we're going to have a lot of beef to sell in a couple of years!

I'm with bloomer, I need to work full time to pay for the lifestyle. I sell Chicken/Duck eggs but with only 20 poultry total they just about cover their costs and sell honey, but again after 4 years varying between 2-4 hives probably only just starting to breakeven as setting up is expensive.

[Lesley Silvester]

My pension keeps my goats and allows me to pay my mortgage so I can have the space to grow fruit and veg.

[Paul Sill]

Dairy farmer! Work with my parents and 2 brothers, Running 800 acres with about 850 head of stock.

[devonlad]

Don't often see much butter but the bread is sheep pigs eggs and hay. I do work in agri off site as a crop nutritionist

[ellied]

Just an odd breadcrumb here from egg, produce and young stock sales. 

As I don't have a day job, pension or an earning partner to keep me, I have got used to low cost living, enhanced by the odd massage or sessional therapy income.  I have just sold a second piece of woodcraft work and am aiming for more craft sales to bolster income, it's that or go on benefits and fight for some minimum wage job against folk half my age and more relevant experience.  Or sell up and try what others consider a normal life..

[Millwood]

Fruit & veg on our market garden which we sell through our shop in the next village, supplemented by other local produce, not a lot of money in it but makes us happy, if exhausted!
