I just found this site in the last few months and I am looking to design several food forests at my farm in Leicester, NC. I'd appreciate any tips you may have, and I'll be starting a thread about my pasture to Food Forest conversion project shortly. I would definately be interested in being able to trade/work exchange for plant cuttings and knowledge about what works in this area!! I am interested in focusing on native medicinals as my pasture is chock full of burdock, yellow dock, chamomile, bergamont, chicory and many others.
Thanks and looking forward to hearing from all the Ashville folks!
