When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

The owners want to make enough money for maintenance and upkeep so, besides having a working farm these estates will often have garden and house tours, coffee shop and even concerts
an example here: they have a working farm/sawmill/butchery and tours. They probably sell plants as well from the gardens and have other stuff happening

lots of different meanings of the word "estate" but, in this case, with the combination of "working" I am assuming it's a stately/big house with an estate of land that is farmed commercially.
So, an estate or landed property with a working farm (=a real farm rather than one just for show).
However, these days most of these estates carry on other activities (like forestry/cheesemaking etc.) as well as the income from farming is not sufficient Note that many of these estates have been converted into golf courses.

and another example (which I visited last Sept) http://www.blog.felicityfields.com/ireland-killruddery-house...
"The Brabazon family has been farming 750 acres since their arrival in 1618, and somehow they’ve managed to keep all those acres in the family. It’s still a working farm, with cattle, sheep, tillage, and forestry".

Context is always needed as there are various types of estates.
But some type of farming and/or forestry would constitute the "working" part...
rather than a golf course or hotel where the lands are not being worked, like this one:
