Hello everyone, new to permaculture!

My fiancé and I recently purchased 160 acres in a remote corner of SE Oregon! Want to build our desert food forest and challenge people to think differently!

We are just getting started on our property, first is to get more self reliant and get a garden going! Soils need tons of organic matter! We brought in a few cows and chickens for rotational grazing and biomass!

So much to learn and do!

Welcome to permies!

How exciting for you guys to get a new place and want to do all these good things. We love hearing about projects and progress, and all things permaculture.

Hi Jesse, how is it going there? Do you have a house or somewhere to stay, and are you living there full-time now? What have your first projects been?

I like the area, have been to Malheur Wildlife Refuge several times. Have you met some Basque folks in the area? How is your grazing going? Look forward to hearing more.

Jerry
