Personal experience and production goals summary:

I'm looking to move back home to NC to be closer to my family. I currently own a 6-acre farm in Oregon that is used for horses and chickens. I would like to rent small acreage with pasture and hayfields somewhere in Western North Carolina, preferably within an hour or two from Boone or Ashville. 

I grew up on a conventional dairy farm in Caswell County, NC. My interest is mainly in maintaining horse pasture for personal use and hay production for sale. In addition to dairy farming, my base of knowledge includes horsekeeping on small acreage, pasture maintenance, vegetable and flower gardening and raising chickens for egg production.
