Hi, all!

I realized I posted my introductory post in the wrong category--newbie mistake!

Anyways, my husband and I are new to the permaculture life and are very excited to get started on our design, projects, etc. I've already found so much useful information while lurking forum threads. I can't believe how many people are involved in the community! Does anyone know how many members Permies has? The traction is awesome.

Hello, everyone!

My husband and I are new to the homesteading lifestyle. We are on (what was) a 10-acre horse ranch and plan to convert the space into farm. There's also a creek and hill on the property.

Does anyone have any general advice/suggestions for getting started? Some things we've discussed are growing our own food, food preservation, raising chickens and goats, wind turbines for energy, solar, etc. It's exciting, but a little overwhelming. I'd appreciate any tips or shared learnings from when you were first getting started.

Thank you!!

Kristin
