Hi Laverne,
Your place sounds nice, and your plans for this year sound like something I could be a good helper on.
I am just down in Wenatchee, and want to stay somewhat close. The only way I am ever going to realise my dream of my own little piece of NCW is by getting out of my apartment, learning, and saving. Most of what I have to contribute is energy and enthusiasm. I've read a few books by authors like Sepp Holzer and Joel Salatin. I have very little experience farming. I have been a soldier, a volunteer firefighter, a maintenance dude, and a bartender. I went to school for natural resources and learned that I want to farm.
I'd love to hear more about your farm and your goals and plans for it.
Thanks!
-Michael
