Help

How much land do you have/ plan to have?

 

[martlin]

A combination of Single Payment, sheep farming and liveries is the short answer
The long answer is waay too long
It all very much depends how much land you have, how much money you need to earn and what sort of skill set you have.

ok its 12 acres . But i don't want all horses/ponies as i have 3 and need to make money , and live

 

[Quantock-cob]

I really doubt you can make a living off 12 acres - unless as your location suggests, you can start breeding unicorns !!

 

[martlin]

12 acres to make a living?
Horticulture, poultry farming, that sort of thing MIGHT make you enough money to live on, if you have no mortgage that is

 

[ILuvCowparsely]

we have 10 acres

and liveries but then my hubby has loads money and no mortgage now

Um ok need to pay back on a buisness loan . horses/ponies would bring in some pennies but need something else but quick turn around but dont want to lose grazing so unless i have 100 geese every 14 weeks turn around for (meat)

racking your brains here

But I dont want my brains racked ))

 

[martlin]

whatever you do, don't try to make money on pigs

Have 7 acres and 8 stables yard but have other income sources so yard for recreation only really.

Not sure how you'd make enough to live on with 12 acres but IMO horses is not the way to go.

Car boot sale?
Clay pigeon shoot?
Caravan site?
Hold horse shows/dressage, etc. and pocket the profits - if any.
Fence an area securely and let it out for dog training.

The trouble with a lot of options like above is you can be so restricted by what the planning bods will allow, they may be your first port of call as there may be restrictions on what business you can start.

 

[PandorasJar]

Sell chickens at point of lay
Sell eggs
Quails

etc

I wouldn't bother adding horses bar your own, not on 7 acres

Agree with BBH ^^

Unless you already know lots about farming what about just renting it out in one lot? Might not make as much but is usually at least a guaranteed amount.

Depending where it is, caravans. Have a look on the Caravan club web site, you do not have to have planning for 6 if you are a liscensed site.
