New to Permies, starting farm in NC, USA

Hello everyone! I am very glad to find this forum. It is loaded with so much information and so many resources that I am having a hard time doing anything else in my life.

I purchased a few acres in North Carolina. It is all currently timber, but I will be creating a small market farm on that land. I want to plan it carefully so I don't make costly mistakes, and want to create it in a way that provides a positive example of how to live with the land, not just on it.

I will probably ask some newbie questions along the way. Please be patient with me! I will probably be learning about these topics for the rest of my life.

Nice to meet you!

Felicia, welcome to Permies! You're absolutely in the right place to ask questions and get good answers. This is a wonderfully helpful community!

Welcome to permies!! How exciting to get new land and want to use it in a good way. Congrats to you!

Welcome!

Where abouts in NC?

Hello Felicia from North Georgia. I to am building in the woods in the mountains, just a little south of  you. No market garden for me, but a working modern homestead with alternative construction projects and hopefully a school to teach all that goes with modern homesteading. Ask away, someone always will be willing to help out. Learn all you can. You did not mention where in N. Carolina or if you have low land or hilly, etc. My land is all unlevel and wooded, so always working around those circumstances. Using hulglekultures have helped and good land management practices as well. Looking forward to installing some small retention ponds before I build a larger one (1/3) acre in a ravine by installing a dam. Lots to do. Enjoy the journey, but don't be afraid to get started. Best wishes.

If still rolling with it, I am from RDU area and would be glad to vibe and network. In the late 90s my nephew went riding with Farm Tour and told my mother "every farm we went to, somebody knew Ted by name" lol

Hello All,
Welcome to Permies!  I hope you’ll follow up with the conversation so we can see your progress and get your questions answered- as well as stir up enthusiasm for all new projects.
I’m also in NC, in the eastern flat side. I have a very small urban thing going on. Huge house small land- but I’m looking to flip that and am about to sell my house.  I have a few small gardens - more medicinals and odd edibles and a few nicely productive fruit trees, rather than vegetables at the moment. And I have fish with the capability for a decent size aquaponics set up.  
Maybe I should post the sale on Permies!  Any thoughts on where is the best forum for that?
Have a great day! Fall gardens are the best!
