Desired locations
Plan
I'm looking for a hobby farm that I can practice regenerative farming and permaculture on. Somewhere between 5-20 acres in size. I'm less concerened about making money from it than I am from generating enough to keep the farm afloat while my income will come from my career as a boat captain. I've always had a passion for alternative practices such as permaculture, selvaculrure, aquaponics, and hydroponics.

Practices details
I'm looking towards chop and drop, permaculture, and aquaculture primarily. A semi-wild food forest that will largely maintain itself is way more my style than traditional row planting.
