Allotments 4 All

We held a bbq on Saturday and a friend's friend said you have so many animals it is like a small holding.  Our garden is 2000m sq. 

Is it the amount of animals or the land?  I would only love to know as my 'best friend  :-X' at college lived in a teeny but lovely cottage, which she insisted was a small holding. It had 3500sq of land and a horse.

I love what we have, loads of animals, enjoying all of them and being able to walk out of our gate into the country side, pure rural heaven.

This is what Wikipedia says

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallholding

The 'common' definition is based on size, bigger than an allotment, smaller than a farm, generally held to be up to 50 acres and rented out for agricultural purposes.

There is also a specific definition in law - it's a smallholding if it can be worked by a maximum of two persons full-time.

I don't know of any definition involving animals.  You can have a smallholding with no animals.

Lucky you  ;D

My idea of heaven is a smallholding and to that end I have been looking for 1 to buy for the last year.  ;D

Ishard,
              are you looking in the right places, a friend of mine had a place for sale at AB Kettleby last year with land at the rear suitable for a smallholding, :)

Well at least nobody has ben smutty about it...  ;D
