{farms+2}Smallholding Farms
{farms+2_desc}Smallholdings are usually farms supporting a single family with a mixture of cash crops and subsistence farming. Generally, a smallholding offers its owner a means of achieving self-sufficiency for its family's needs and pay taxes. They may be able to supplement their income by selling surplus produce at a farmers' market or at a permanent shop on the smallholding.

Also, by having a larger area of cultivation available, the productivity is increased with the near elimination of fallow land by planting cover crops such as vetch, beans, turnips, spurry, and broom and high-value crops such as rapeseed, madder and hops.
