Personal experience and production goals summary:
I am currently self-educating about forest gardening, perennial vegetables, and "natural farming" (via One Straw Revolution). I aspire to grow native herbs in a forest setting, selling the raw product to people seeking to make herbal products. I am very interested in growing native perennial vegetables as well. I have less than one year of experience in a commercial farm setting, and have grown several small gardens over the past few decades, but nothing that I've been able to maintain for more than a growing season due to my proclivity for moving often. I am looking to settle down and spend 5+ years with a piece of land now and to explore various experiments throughout the growing seasons.
