Hey Cai,

Saw your post and I was wondering how the search has gone. I am in a similar situation here in the Carolinas.

Hey Rita,

I recently moved to the area and I am poking around to see what opportunities there are to get into commercial small scale agirculture. Just came across this post. I know its a bit old, but I was wondering how the market garden is going??

Hey Permies Community,

My name is Joseph I recently moved to the Green Creek area in Polk County where I have been working for a small custom furniture company in Landrum SC and as a part time farm hand. I am hoping to get into small scale commercial agriculture. I would like to spend the next year / growing season learning the process of putting seeds into the ground, cultivating them, then getting food to customers. I have some basic knowledge, but I am definitely a novice.

I am hoping to do this while still working at the furniture company. Its a great job and its something I want to get better at. I usually work M-F 9-12, but sometimes an extra hour or two may be required.

Here is a link to my HelpX Profile which will give me more info about me and I have attached my resume.

If you have any questions please feel free to drop me a line.

Hey M Foti,

I know this post is a bit old, but I thought I would reach out anyway. I may be relocating to the Tryon area and am in the process of meeting other people interested in / working in fields that I gravitate to. If you need any help some time or wouldn't mind showing me around the farm please let me know.

Joseph

Hey everybody!

I was just introduced to Permies.com and I am pumped about finding this awesome community. I moved to Charlotte about a year ago and I would like to transition to somewhere near the Asheville area.  I am hoping to find work in the area of farming, gardening, animal husbandry, carpentry or some other trade skill.

I am working part time for 10$ an hour and it simply isn't enough. I have come to a point in my life where I want to enjoy my day to day work and at the same time have enough to cover bills and savings. I spend my weekends traveling to the Tryon NC area to help out a couple on their property. Picking pastures, feeding pigs and horses, landscaping, building projects, misc projects, whatever needs to be done. I find that I really enjoy it for some reason and I am looking to spend more time working like this.

I am not looking for an ideal / picture perfect situation just trying to see what is out there.

Any suggestions of people or businesses to contact?

I have attached my resume and added this link to provide a bit more information that isn't covered in the resume

Peace out permies!
