Mission Statement

Chestnut Permie Farm

The mission of this blog is to document and explain one family's goal of establishing a sustainable homestead in western North Carolina.

The subject matter is expected to focus on land management, livestock, and gardening methods and efforts.

Our goal includes not using synthetic chemicals, pesticides, fungicides on our farm. We mostly plant open pollinated heritage seeds.  We try to follow a no till policy, and restore and maintain our soil with rotational grazing animals, composting, poly-culture planting, and mulch.  We try to follow the principle of returning the surplus to the earth.

We hope you enjoy reading occasional posts as we progress with our mission.
