Goals details
Would like to start by covering cropping and interplanting using biomass to build organic matter and composting. Worm farming and biodynamic preparations liquid manure etc. Pollinator gardens to improve biodiversity and legumes for n2 fixation. After one season on small production my plan will move to a rotational system that allows for regeneration of soil microbes then test soil through NCSU to see what would grow best based on soil fertility type and texture. Nothing monoculture this would transition into a cooperative for food deserts subsistence farming for my family and hemp as a cash crop. If owner is open to agritourism this be a possibility.
