Just joined - my wife and I have a small farm on the side of North Mountain in Rockbridge County. We're on the first range on the eastern side of the Allegheny Mountains. We have a small market garden currently producing squash, zucchini, tomatoes, and watermelon, three older apple trees, around a dozen pear trees in various states between grafted and root stock waiting for fall grafting, 15 root stock for apples, and 30 elderberry bushes. We're prepping beds for fall harvest. We're in a ramshackle house two miles up in creek in a holler. The house has five (maybe six) different stages with the first one from around1835. Lot's of work. We share space with a German shepherd and two Tennessee Fainting Goats and hope to add some chickens soon. We went full time on farming the land last year - I'm 74 and new to farming, so there's a lot of learning going on.
