Hello Evan!
I'm in SW Michigan and a beginner, brand new here on Permies.com though I have started and run a successful certified organic farm I started in 2009. Took a few years off and am just beginning again on a new farmstead with plans for a full scale permaculture design. It's just over 17 acres here and I've been on site for almost three years now, mostly observing and maintaining what's here.
Glad to meet you!
Kindest,
Karen
