As the owner of a large garden, I can't claim to be a farmer and even smallholder is pushing it. I like to think of myself as a microholder.  :roflanim:

Sorry guys I didn't abandon this but life got in the way briefly :)

Sounds like what may be in the works straddles a wide border which is interesting to know, and if def sounds like there is potential in spades for all sorts of income bringing diversions.
Am glad to know it's not a black and white thing :)

Our farm has been here in exactly its present form for over 500 years.  Looking into its history we found the word "Farm" was only added to the name in the early 1900's.  Before then it, and other local farms and smallholdings, were just referred to in documents by their name and the area they covered, "a leasow called Dibley", "a nook called Nuttage," etc.
