Glamping | Legal tips for farmers during the staycation boom

Glamping, One positive from Coronavirus is more tourists holidaying in the UK, creating many opportunities for the entrepreneurial farmer. Whilst most visitors to the countryside behave themselves, bringing trade and tourism to rural communities, farmers are increasingly having to deal with anti-social antics.

Un-Authorised Parking

We’ve all seen viral videos of farmers taking the law into their own hands; forcibly moving trespassing vehicles with telehandlers or covering them with slurry.glamping

Whilst it is understandable that farmers occasionally run out of patience, it is extremely important not to see red.

The first step is, politely, to ask the offending owner to move their vehicle from your land. If they continue to trespass, then reasonable force may be used to eject the vehicle as well as its owner. What is deemed as “reasonable force” is hugely dependent on the circumstances.

Being a civil issue, the police are not able to assist as dealing with trespass requires the involvement of civil courts, opening you up to expensive (and stressful) litigation. Farmers, ironically, could also wind up being prosecuted for any criminal damage caused to the trespassers property whilst moving it.

There are limited options available to deal with illegal parking, but the key thing is to be proactive. Take steps to ensure that there is plenty of signage and obstacles on farm access points.

Protecting Livestock

The influx of tourists inevitably means more dogs that can worry livestock, especially sheep.

Farmers are entitled to compensation from dog owners if a trespassing canine kills or injures livestock but tracking down the perpetrator is difficult and extracting money nigh-on impossible.

In certain circumstances farmers are even permitted to shoot a dog. However, it is a common misconception that they have a right to do this. Instead, shooting is a defence which a can be relied upon on if used as an absolute last resort to end the worrying.

No farmer wants to shoot a pet, so it is important to avoid the situation arising at all. Practical preventative steps include the use of signage to encourage walkers to keep to the public rights of way and keep their pets on leads.

Look at keeping vulnerable livestock away from areas of the farm with a heavy public footfall and maintain adequate fences on boundaries and footpaths.

Staycation Opportunities

The “28 days rule” enables farmers to temporarily alter the designation of their land for up to 28 days per year without the need to obtain planning permission. Common activities that take advantage of this include temporary camp sites, which may prove especially popular if your farm enjoys scenic views or close access to nearby tourist attractions.

There could be opportunities to create a USP by using your property’s sporting and fishing rights to attract niche holiday makers.

Consider whether your farm has old or unproductive farming buildings that could be converted into temporary holiday accommodation. However, check your title deeds beforehand for restrictive covenants which dictate what activities can or can’t be carried out on the property.

Conclusion

Hopefully temperatures will rise over the summer months – but not in the emotional sense. Take the positives from the staycation boom if you can, not the negatives. Whatever you do, don’t take the law into your own hands.

Alternative meat products to add to your farm business - Charcuterie 

Charcuterie can be an excellent option for extending a product range as the products can be made from your existing meat supplies, or you could choose to team up with a local charcuterie business. 

Additionally, the shelf life of charcuterie products is often significantly longer than other meat-based products. Charcuterie also often uses less desirable parts of an animal, such as in the case of using cheaper cuts in salamis.

Diversification idea - wool business!
Why choose a wool business?

A wool, yarn or fibre business can be an effective farm diversification for adding value to something that is often a by-product of the sheep farming sector. But there are also lots of other types of fibre to consider, from alpaca to plant-based fibres. Fibre businesses are useful for bringing in additional income on a smaller scale and tend to work well alongside a wider farm business strategy or even as a way to make money from your smallholding.

Fibre businesses can range from selling raw fleece through to spinning yarn and even dying yarns. 

Do you sell wool or fibre from your farm?
