Art/Literary - Agriculture | | English term or phrase: forest farm | In Swedish, a "skogsgård"
Is there a better term for a farm in the forest (or a farm that consists (in part) of trees grown for pulp), than "forest farm" ?
Neither "farm in the forest" nor "forest farm" seems to be proper nor appropriately descriptive English. |
