My husband and I just bought a mostly wooded property (hobby farm) and are very excited to start our dream of being more self-sufficient by building an organic permaculture fruit orchard. We appreciate all methods and especially Stefan Sobkowiak's method, but tweaked to fit our vision and property. We are looking for an accountability partner we can share ideas and concepts with and/or an experienced mentor who can guide us through the process of designing, building and maintaining an orchard and provide us with some wise lessons learned.
I am currently following the free online university lessons by Dr. Will Hooker and reading the book "Building your Permaculture Property to Design and Develop Land" by Rob Avis, Michelle Avis and Takota Coen. We have successfully grown 2000 sq foot of vegetable gardens in summer 2020. This year we start our new life on this amazing property.
Hoping to start the work in July/Aug. We just want to do this right, the first time.
