Russian term or phrase: частные подворья
According to my research so far, a подворье is a metochion, a kind of orthodox church. But in my text, подворье seems to be some sort of division of agricultural organization. The word came up twice in the article I am translating. Excerpts follow, the full article is available at http://www.agro.ru/news/comments.aspx?id=2881

Она занимается перераспределением целевых бюджетных средств, выделяемых на сельскохозяйственные частные подворья.

По договоренности, они будут продавать сырье в столице не дешевле 20 руб. за литр: в республике закупочная цена установлена в размере восьми рублей, – пишет «КоммерсантЪ» со ссылкой на заявление председателя Ассоциации фермеров, крестьянских подворий и сельскохозяйственных кооперативов региона Камияра Байтемирова.

Asker: What does "backyard farm" mean? Is it another way of saying "small-scale farm", or does it mean something more like "family farm"?

Homestead Family Farm


Explanation:
It seems to me that one should translate the full name of the organization, say "Association of Farm Households and Homestead Family Farms" – following the meaning implied there: "Union of big and small peasant households".

Example sentence(s):
  • The home and appurtenant land and buildings owned by the head of a family, and occupied by him and his family.

Asker: i don't see any reason to think these are part time operations, but rather small-scale.
