- Limousin/Charentes toad land
We find ourselves in the position of having a spare farm. It is 120 ha, complete with a nice family house, far more buildings than is normal for the farm size (they used to contract fatten), 4 miles from our home farm.
Myself and wife have tried doing the both but it's not practical in the long term. Both farms need small amounts of normal buildings repairs, there is always machinery repairs, tbh looking after the cows isn't a problem for the two of us but fattening all the bulls is a lot of extra work.
In this area, there are a lot of retired folk and anyone who is fit and half useful could fill their days ten times over.
I am open to any ideas. To start the ball rolling, a favourite of mine would be a family live in the house and work for (for example 2 days per week) rent for the house and if required some buildings for their own enterprise.
I would consider an employee. Or farm share. Very unlikely I would just let it out though.
Oh, in case you missed it this farm is in the Limousin region in France
@llamedos is this the correct board ?
