Russian term

частные подворья

Russian to English Bus/Financial Agriculture agricultural business organization
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.

Thanks!

Note from 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

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:

The home and appurtenant land and buildings owned by the head of a family, and occupied by him and his family.

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