Hobby Farms in Australia
A Hobby farm in Australian usage is a variety of smallholding that may be as small as 2 hectares up to a self-sustaining farm size, that allows the "city farmer" to have a house and a small number of animals or small crop fields or grape vines. In Western Australia, these are often termed Special Rural Properties for planning purposes.

Paddocks in the farms of birds. The dead oak walks for love.”
