    hello, my name is dominic, and my wife, meghan, and i are starting a small farm in gadsden, sc. we are in the design phase, and are also working with a local architect to design a home built of natural materials found on site. currently, we're designing our perennial poly culture and clearing land for our annual vegetable/flower production area. our goal is to find a balance between ecological design/permaculture and a for-profit farm model using holistic management strategies.

    I understand how you feel.

    I sometimes start thinking about how much there is to learn/know, but then I realize that if I go with that thinking I'll never get started. Mostly now I'm just reading permaculture books as fast as I can. Will be fully retired in August and am hoping to really start digging in then. I will start following your project. I noticed there is someone in Lexington, GA, also. Will follow them too.
