Farmette
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A farmette is a small residential farm run by an owner who earns income from a source other than the farm. It is sometimes known as a yokelet or a farmlet.
Farmette owners are typically city workers who want to own rural land without operating a full farm. A farmette often includes a large vegetable garden, the occasional barn, tractor, and even farm or domestic animals, such as goats and cats. Farmetters usually rely on their tractor to plow or snow blow their driveways during the winter. Farmettes are usually around 50 acres (200,000 m2).[citation needed] They can have a small hog pen, a few chickens in a chicken coop or a kennel house for dogs. [citation needed]
