[QUOTE="New Puritan, post: 5118286, member: 39018"] I started from scratch. About 2 years ago, and from what I can gather, within about a mile of [USER=29586]@Greenbeast[/USER] - so this end of Sussex must have something going for it. I'm a tenant on just under 50 acres. Like [USER=43682]@sheep&cows&stuff[/USER] I rely on having another job to provide the funds for investment. I was lucky (?) in that I was introduced to a friend of a friend who is/was a farmer who wanted to retire, and was looking for a tenant for his land. It came with all manner of strings attached which made it undesirable to anyone but an idiot (i.e. me), but nevertheless I enjoy it, mostly. Like others have suggested, you would need to start small and find a niche market to get into. Having young urban types involved would be part of that niche, if you market it well. [/QUOTE]
