Permaculture Consultant needed southern Utah

Hello guys,

We have just moved to southern Utah from Louisiana and my wife and I are interested in starting a 1/4 acre, possibly a bit smaller, permaculture farm (vegetables, fruits, legumes, small livestock). We don't have experience with permaculture but are fascinated by it.

We have supplemental irrigation water, Virgin River frontage, and large Cottonwood trees on our site. Looks like we have clayey sand, and sandy soil types, in 2 different areas.

Can anyone here recommend a consultant to us for a site visit and master plan? My wife and I want to carry out implementation of the plan, slow but sure. I'm about halfway through Integrated Forest Gardening by Wayne Weiseman and love the idea of different plant/animal functions and guilds.

Can anyone help me out? My name is Zefferino and my email address is zeffvon@gmail.com.

Thanks!

Zeff, welcome to the forum!

My suggestion would be to start off by asking questions about your new land or the book that you have been reading.

We have a lot of knowledgeable folks who love to answer questions.

I'm in St. George and watched a bunch of this guys videos (I think he's on a smallish lot in Hurricane).  He doesn't upload to youtube anymore, but I think he's active on another platform if I remember right.  He seems to be plugged into the permie scene, and might be someone to maybe contact.  I googled him and he's on fb.  That might be a way to go.   Don't go to rawutah.com, though, it's a chinese website.
Here's his yt page.  https://www.youtube.com/user/rawutah/featured

Personally I know nothing, so I'm useless to you, lol.

Welcome to Southern Utah.

Oh yeah, I just skimmed over his videos, and he had this guy come out to help him design his property. https://permacultureglobal.org/users/13773-andy-monks
