Does anyone know of such a property for sale in the east (Virginia or Maryland) or where else we might look to find it? Are there any particular internet searches we should use to search for our property? We are very flexible as to where we can look, but just don’t seem to be finding what we need.

Hi Mark/Susan, I live in NC near the Va border. I have a center block house with concrete floors. Great for a Rocket Mass Heater. It is on an acre and 1/3. I am thinking about fixing it up as money permits but may entertain the idea of selling it. It is in a rural area on a paved country road. It needs a new roof and windows. It has county water but no setic tank. If you are interest in more email me K.cousins@yahoo.com.

Love your pictures Jeanine. You go girl! How inspiring. Kay Bee, I live in the middle of the Northern Coastal Plain/Pedmont region of NC. Thank so much for greens list. I love arugula.

Thanks Aranya. For now, we can do pretty much what we want. We live in a rural farming community that uses Round up ready crops. There are few changes on the horizon but it is slow coming. I would like my little farm to be an example to the community. Already, I have planted 30 acres of native grasses last year and the wildlife has exploded. Thank you for the site. I will check it out. Looking forward to devouring your book.

I have a huge amount of space in my yard. That might be my problem. I would like to have a winter garden here in North Carolina. I have typically grown onions, good olde southern collards, kale etc. I have done the Square Foot. Now I am ready to move up a level. Any suggestions?
