[quote=James Landreth]Hi Eric,
Welcome to the area!
My first question is: Are you thinking about southern western Washington, or southern eastern Washington? I've lived in both and there's a big difference between the two.
My second question is: Are you looking for suggested areas to live (towns, counties, etc) or specific properties for sale?
I've lived near Woodland, Washington and interned on a farm near Battleground. That whole area is really great. If you go west from there towards the ocean the temperature is cooler and milder, but it's further from the cities and I don't know what the soil is like there. The soils in Woodland and Battleground were a nice clay loam. I live further north now but not that far from either. [/quote]
Yes we are looking for suggestions for areas in Southern Western WA as we have family in Camas. Battleground has come to our attention before. Soil is important, but I understand that local zoning can alter a homesteaders plans. Are there homestead friendly areas where farm products can be sold and farm based events (u-pick days, weddings, farm to table events etc) are permitted? I would also entertain any existing farms for sale by permaculture savvy families. Thanks!
