A pal has approached me with an idea that would use a couple of acres to grow veg, he and I would run it together, will that be an issue on our AHA? It's still agricultural use and I'm involved in it, but it's a seperate business (and will be marketed as such) to my existing farm enterprise.
Any input much appreciated.

Have a word with Tfa or your land agent. When we considered some holiday pods a few years ago, our land agent said it would end our aha and start up a fbt, so we binned the idea.

if it is farming then should be no problem selling direct should also be no problem
having a partner may have issues but structuring it right should sort them consult nfu or tfa if you are a member
