I don't think you can start a small holding of just a few acres if it's only for your own consumption and small scale sales, the rules and regulations and planning permission just make it near impossible ?
Bloke near me an ex copper ( I can just see the roof of his bungalow from my place ) started a smallholding just after I moved here so some 10 years ago , although although now given up due to poor health .I don't think you can start a small holding of just a few acres if it's only for your own consumption and small scale sales, the rules and regulations and planning permission just make it near impossible ?
I'm much the same regarding meat eating these days .Is meat that is halal slaughtered labelled as such? Maybe it should be. Might see a change in people’s thinking then when profits are hit. I still eat meat, just a lot less of it and I’m pretty bloody picky about where and who I buy it from.
It’s an evil, barbaric practice that should be banned now.
Not impossible , farm land can be used for farming , the hard bit is getting planning for a residence , you then need a holding number and you are on the way to being a micro farmer.I don't think you can start a small holding of just a few acres if it's only for your own consumption and small scale sales, the rules and regulations and planning permission just make it near impossible ?

Getting a Holding Number is as easy as emailing the council, we still have a HN on our garden, where we have raised pigs various. You will still need to register with APHA, so you can obtain a herd number and record movements, sheep and cattle have their own, different, requirements re paperwork.Not impossible , farm land can be used for farming , the hard bit is getting planning for a residence , you then need a holding number and you are on the way to being a micro farmer.
My 12 year daughter did a holding number application when I said she couldn't have any miniature goats as we didnt have a holding number .Getting a Holding Number is as easy as emailing the council, we still have a HN on our garden, where we have raised pigs various.

With planning, AIUI, the way forward is to establish a need to be on site and park a mobile home there, and then apply for planning.
