farmette

Tiny agricultural property

A farmette is a small farm, typically a few acres, often run as a hobby or side venture rather than a primary livelihood.

The term suggests something between a suburban property with a garden and a working agricultural operation: They bought a farmette outside town where they keep chickens and grow vegetables.

It carries a slightly precious or diminutive tone.
