Goodyears Bar, CA
My husband and I are at the planning stages for our small farm in Goodyears Bar. Our goal is to have a 1/4 acre vegetable farm, flowers, and chickens, in addition to the heritage (100 year plus) apple orchard. At this point we are building infrastructure (access road, septic, and well) in addition to planting meadows and hedgerows. We will also be engaged in forest management, as about 50 of our 60 acres is timber on slopes.
