Hands down, the best tool for digging is an enxada. https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enxada

After that: scythe, froe, ax/hatchet, two-man saw!

Howdy!

We are a group of 10 inspired and full of energy humans disembarking on a path of settling down and creating our vision. We have been traveling around learning natural building and permaculture skills for 3-4 years now, and its time to get our own land and start practicing. Does anyone here have any good recommendations of places in the appalachia region where (1) land is cheap, (2) close to progressive city hubs, (3) has 4 seasons, (4) no fracking around, (5) beautiful land?

Any suggestions or comments are appreciated. Some of us grew up in the midwest, but have mainly been in Europe and Oregon for the past years, so we are now a bit unfamiliar with this region. Much love you great people!

Howdy all!

So some great humans and myself are looking to find some land in southern Oregon at the end of summer to start developing a giant food forest and community buildings on. Any helpful hints or suggestions on where to start looking for ways to get this land? We have been thinking of trying to find somewhere near Ashland, OR as it is always good to be close to a nice town. We have a little money, but loads of skills so money shouldn't be an issue after we start. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
