Hi Bobby,
Looks like you are in the same area that Masanobu Fukuoka was from. Have you read his natural farming book called, The One Straw Revolution?
I highly recommend it! It will surely be a great source for you. I myself live at 1600 meters so its very hard to grow what I want to. My family and I run a petit hotel in Nagano. This spring I hope to buy or borrow land at a lower elevation so I can begin organic farming using Mr. Fukuoka's methods.
Cheers,
James
