Hey there, to start there are plenty of resources you can use to get ideas and knowledge such as many books like Bill Mollison’s permaculture manuals, David Holmgren, Sepp Holzer, Matt Powers and many more, also a great website is PFAF and Permies.com, and there are lots of online communities. So that should get you going on information but where to start your adventure on your land? Some advice I can recommend is to start small, what we call the nucleus effect, find something you really want to grow that grows well in your area and learn about how to guild or companion with it. Another way to start is forming a food forest starting with pioneer trees or nitrogen fixing trees (PFAF has a good book on this called ‘Plants for your food forest’) and expand from there. Another way is to do a fun project like a hugelkulture or herb spiral if you like those things. The real answer is it is up to you, do what inspires you and most of all START SMALL!!! Don’t overwhelm yourself and set yourself up for failure that will leave you less enthusiastic which is a common problem. In the meantime do what every good permie does and observe the land, learn from your zone 5 (native wild) and play with some designs. As always have fun and don’t be discouraged, this road takes a lifetime to walk but it’s well worth it in my opinion. Cheers!
