Starting with a Smallholding

By David Hills

A really useful book for anyone planning to buy a smallholding, or start a new smallholding activity.

It offers timely advice on how to choose the right property for different needs and circumstances, as well as sorting out priorities after moving in.

The book describes how activities make different demands on space, time, energy and money, with details of over 20 activities related to animals, poultry and the land.

It also provides details of where further help and advice may be obtained.

Wherever you choose to live, and whatever the final activities on the smallholding, it is essential to clarify your ideas on what you want to do and how you will be able to make it pay.
