Where we're at now.
We have been busy studying, planning and gathering resources and materials to start at the farm in Chillingham. We are using Holistic management, keyline patterning, Korean natural farming, alley cropping and Permaculture design to put together and manage a fully stacked, productive, biologically driven food producing glom. This is the culmination of our experience with 3 years of of trials and learnings. We are also drawing on our common experience of being makers, repurposers, and people of the land - one of us being 5th gen farmer. With this back up, essentially no physical works or infrastructure creation has been an issue - we have very little cash so this has been critical.
We have pegged out and have started a 'mosaic of succession', which is the pattern and fertility engine of our polyculture of annuals. This will yield fresh cut produce, which we have worked out by using holistic financial planning, will give us our biggest and fastest returns (best gross profit analysis margin in HM speak), providing cash flow to further invest in layering and complexity.
So we plant tomorrow, pics to come.
