Encyclopedia
A farmette is a small residential farm

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.

They can have a small hog pen, a few chickens in a chicken coop or a kennel house for dogs.
