Thanks, I really appreciate how welcoming everybody is!

I'll be sure to take some pictures for you of a few other things we're doing. Over the last year, we've planted a couple dozen fruit trees and other perennials to add to our food forest. We already have several native species like hickory, blackberry, mayapple, sumac, and pawpaw that will provide food, and we've added apples, pears, peaches, pecans, cherries, and a few others. While we're too late in the season now, we also have an abundance of chanterelles, and I've spread morel spores around to try and encourage some morels to pop up. I'm not yet comfortable identifying edible boletes from the less-appetizing types, but that's going to come up eventually since they're a fairly low-risk venture around here.

We're very, very interested in permaculture and silvopasture, and are really thinking about this in terms of "how can we take care of the land so it takes care of us".

Good luck with your house search though! It must be a super interesting time to be on the market, with everything going on.
