From Owens Lake to South Lake Tahoe. I've searched through the forums and haven't heard of anybody bring up this area. I know of a small farm below Horseshoe Meadows that practices permaculture, but nothing other than that.

The valley in-between the Sierra Nevada Mountans and White Mountains known locally as the Sierra Eastside seems to have a lot of potential for regenerative practices. The history of the region is interesting as well. The LA aqueduct comes to mind. While it is dry, enough water comes from the mountains to allow for thriving ranchlands and in certain areas great food gardens.

I'm a local saving up for a decent plot of land. 2.5-5 acres would be ideal. Anybody have ideas of what would grow well here? Ag zone varies a bit as one travels North and gains elevation within the valley.

Anyone else in the area?

No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. This time, do it with this tiny ad:
