Beaver County PA, so more like central Western PA.

I have a cabin near DuBios,  get up there as often as I can.  Home is in Westmoreland Co,  thgat is where the garden and orchard are.  I did plant some fruit trees at the cabin,  3 made it,  2 died.  No garden at camp,  I can't take care of it that far away. 


Never doubt that a small group of dedicated people can change the world,  Indeed it is the only thing that ever has. Formerly pa_friendly_guy_here

I'll be moving to eastern Ohio in 6 moths or so. My wife and I bought 20 acres there. It is mostly wooded with an acre open. There is a ton of hard wood on it, a double wide and a garage where I'll build my wheels.

My biggest fear is screwing it up. there is a functioning woodland there. How do you take natural perfection and urge it to make food for you? I guess thats why I joined permies.

We are 40 minutes or so from Pittsburgh. Is there anyone close?

Sorry to take so long to get back. We are in Crawford County, just outside of Meadville, Pa. We move here this past spring. This area is where my wife grew up, but it is new to me. for our first garden here and livestock season things went pretty well, but I have a lot to learn. Any advice on plants, practices and such would be gladly taken.
Thanks, kent

Central Ohio here. Which ain't technically NE Ohio but we spend a fair bit of time in the Cleveland and eastern Ohio areas as well.

Isaac, we will be outside of Steubenville, but in the woods. It looks like 20 - 25 miles or so from you.

I am glad to see everyone here in this area. We are recent additions back to this part of the world and have a huge dream that we are working towards. I am not sure if we fit the "permie" definition, but we are very interested in a simpler, sustainable lifestyle. We have a home based business, (machine shop, foundry and metal fabrication) but we look to raise the majority of our food from our little farm. I would be interested in hearing of the others in the region and what has worked for you. I have an avid interest in designing and building and would be glad to help others with the expertise that our shop and farm could provide.
