Interested in these farming/ranching practices: Would like to use a permaculture or food-forest approach.

Background in farming: I have some agriculture-related experience.

Business plan and/or market in mind: I need help developing a business plan or finding markets for my products. I am also interested in providing food for New Mexicans who are impoverished or training them to grow their own.

Other information: I recently spent eight months as a farm manager in the Abiquiu area. I also work at Plants of the Southwest and have a number of classes under my belt, so I'm familiar with what it takes to grow plants in this climate. I'm looking for an acre or more. Ideally the land would be close to Albuquerque, but I can be flexible on location. I would eventually like to start an edible healing garden.
