Hello,
We have bush hogged about 30 acres of small saplings, brambles and blackberries on a once productive tomato farm. We would like to have year round grass that doesnt need to be re sown every year and would like Cows, sheep and chickens to be rotated year round. We plan on eventually having an orchard with veggies and herbs between the trees and the herbivores grazing through the center. We are just outside of Chattanooga on the Cumberland Plateau at about 1700ft in zone 7b we have well draining soil that needs a lot of work. We get around 48 inches of rain per year with dry spells.

Looking through the forums and books we believe we need 4 types. 1.N-fixers, 2.Drymass, 3.Pest control/medicine, 4.Aerating roots.

Does anyone have a good recommendation or this type of grass/forage mix that doesn´t need to be resown each year?

Thank you,

Does anyone know how to increase soil percability?   We want to build our home and keep hitting rock.  Were in East Tennessee on the Cumberland plateau.  Its a sloped section.   Most areas have barely a foot of soil before hitting rock.  A few have required 36 inches but it´s clay and water runs right off it.  Is there a way to get percable soil?

Hello Casey,
My husband and I will be closing on a 50 acre parcel of land on Flat Top, (above Soddy Daisy) that is 25 to 30 min from Downtown Chattanooga in mid May 2023. There is a very old double wide mobile home on site that we plan to demolish at some stage later this year that may work for you.  We plan on living in our RV near the house while we work the land and build our new home. We have two children living with us, a 3 year old and a 18 month old. And one 12 year old that lives abroad but visits every couple of months.
We have no experience farming and want to turn this raw land into an awesome regenerative / permaculture farm. We would be interested in working on a deal that swapped your assistance on our farm for accommodation.
Please let us know your thoughts

All my best

Thanks!
