Personal experience and production goals summary:

First time homeowner and would be a new farmer.  I have not had the opportunity for hands-on experience (other than a couple of times gathering eggs on a relative's farm), but I spend the majority of my free time researching and watching farmers/homesteaders on Youtube.  I've attended as many livestock/4-H and farm/garden/orchard-related shows and programs as possible at the WNC Agricultural Center during the Mountain State Fair and the Mother Earth News Fair.  I have been growing my own garden in many forms over the past 7 years or more (haybale garden, in-ground garden, shallow and deep raised bed gardens, container gardens), all organic (in practices, but not certified) and I've attempted to make habitat for mason bees/other bees, but have not yet been successful, though bumblebees frequent my gardens.
