Riddle Farm

Marshall, North Carolina,

United States

We are in the process of restoring a 100-year old farm with the goal of raising heritage hogs, nubian goats, chickens, ducks, mushrooms, catfish and trout in a permaculture setting. There are 13 acres adjacent to us that we would like to purchase with others interested in building small, energy-efficient homes in a multi-generational setting. We are very much intested in helping those around us make the transition to a local, sustainable economy that respects and cares for nature. There are some small dwellings that may be available to rent while you buy in and build.
