Hi everyone, I'm sure some of you will know the answer to this.....
I'm in the process of buying a3 acre field in dartmoor. Its currently classed as permanent pasture. I will be keeping my goats on it and housing them in a mobile stable
Ideally I would also like to keep a few chickens and maybe start a veg patch.
So, am I allowed to do this? Will I need to sell some eggs and veg so it remains agricultural land? Or will I need to get change of use?
I already earn an income through the goats making soap (me, not the goats).
Any words of wisdom willingly received

Your field is agricultural and you will be using it for agricultural purposes, so no problem. You can grow anything - not just grass.

Great! Thanks for the reply
Does anyone else live in a national park? Just wondering if different rules apply?
