RE: Long Term Permaculture Shazzazle….

My list would be like:
Where do I poop?
Where do I shower?
Where to plant potatos?
Food forrest is a myth. Good luck harvesting some low hanging fruit and watching the rest get eaten by birds and stuff. No way will that produce significant calories.
Chickens are great; free roaming is absolutely impractical in most cases.
I really don't understand why you want to buy the land. Real estate trading is a whole industry, some people do it all their lives and you won't stand a chance against them.
What about Ireland? Maybe the English aren't the most popular of people there, but to me it seems quite attractive... but WALES of all places? Lovely people, but the weather, the architecture... I found it one of the most depressing places I have ever been to.
SW Ireland, where I'd be most likely to buy is just as wet as the Welsh borders! I am aware that to get calories out of a food forest would require some management, I'm not against usual agricultural methods either. Buying is just so I have some autonomy really.
It's a thought experiment in progress...!
You didn't even ask, but I will answer the question :D
I would suggest, to focus on one thing.
Want a hut in the forrest where people can meet, do the drum circle thing (I would melt of cringe, but to each their own :P)?
Then do that and only that. The forrest would be just the decoration and if it produces calories, that's a nice side-effect.
Rent it out as a permaculture learning experience center for meditation and things, host workshops or whatever, make it profitable and spend the proceeds locally: buy veg from a dedicated organic veg grower, get your lamb from some organic sheperd, your eggs from someone who runs their chicken organically. Pay them well.
Find a niche so you can integrate.
Everybody on their own will not work. Eventually you will burn out.
You need to connect and build relationships.
It's the only way to become independent from the system. Can't do it alone. What would even be the point?
Nice idea as it goes, I certainly don't want to be isolated.
You're welcome to the drumming circle anytime, there will be a dress code...
:D I'd join a DnB circle rave any day of the week :D
-where the mushroom farm?
-where the worm farm?
_aquaponics?
yeah, nah.
Pick one.
