Quality of land

Our 12.5 acre homestead is situated on a west-facing slope with a few wet spots in some areas that dry out in the spring, but with 650 ft elevation there's no flooding issues. Our land is managed using permaculture principles and natural methods, completely organic, though not certified. We’ve never used synthetic chemicals or pesticides. The soil has been nurtured through years of no-till practices, heavy mulching, composting, and cover cropping to build fertility and support microbial life. We grow a diverse range of crops including a no-till medicinal herb garden, a Three Sisters garden, a food forest, berry patches, and a small vineyard. There's also a hoop house and room for a few more.
