I am currently farming in central texas. I recently left a large 200 acre organic farm to manage a smaller 70 acre much more sustainable program. I will be moving back to the south east at the end of next season to set my roots near home. I am currently looking for land to continue my passion back in NC.

JohnMark Noone,
Where do you stand now in your plans to move to NC? Have you found land, or are you still looking? I am looking at a tract of land in western NC that is larger than I had in mind and may have some excess to lease or sell. Would like to discuss.
