[QUOTE="beltane, post: 8114926, member: 167179"] Yes I am in 7b and yes, there are farmer's markets all over where I live in North Carolina - it is a farming state. Thank you for the tip on Joel Salatin - I appreciate it and will look into it! I have seen that documentary -- that is in California, *very* different than here in North Carolina. For instance here, we need 0 irrigation, whereas in California they are constantly under drought conditions. But the notion of what they achieved is what I'd like to do here and hopefully successfully enough to be an example for other farmers. I have contacts with the small farm unit at NC State but they are offering only vegetable farming coop support and that is not what I plan or want to do. There are other farms here, yes, but no one is doing what *you* are doing in Britain. Not here. Not yet. Not really. In some people's backyards, sure. But here, people compost and plant tomatoes and a row of cucumbers and think they're farming. lol I just want to try some different things, things that people here aren't doing -- but are common in Britain. I'd like to build some hedgerows -- hawthorn can grow here (hell, anything can grow here in NC) and I would love to see how it would improve field borders. As it stands, my land has wooded borders already and loads of supporting wildlife, just need more information so I can begin to make a plan. Thanks everyone who has responded so far. <3 [/QUOTE]
