Definitions
American informal term for a small farm — think a few acres, maybe some chickens, a vegetable garden, and a goat or two rather than hundreds of acres of crops. Farmettes are the hobby farms and weekend getaways of suburbanites chasing a rural dream without fully committing to actual agricultural life. In real estate listings, 'farmette' is practically marketing gold — it implies pastoral charm without the scale that would make someone's eyes water.
They bought a farmette outside the city and spent every weekend learning why raising chickens is harder than Instagram makes it look.
