Actually, Fern Forest has very fine soil, some of the best in the state. Having deep dead soil is no better than shallow dead soil. It takes more work and money to rebuild dead deep soil than shallow dead soil. Expect dead soil. We have acid rain, and a lot of it. This isn't an obstacle but it requires understanding to deal with. Ag works out here, and has historically--it still will as long as you don't destroy what you have with an excavator. Be careful. Hand clear. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, it will set you back a decade. Machinery on site does NOT save you labor, I promise. There are a 1000 years of tricks, many have been lost, some have been rediscovered.
I have brought in no soil on site, and will be in commercial production by the end of the year. (commerical now, but would rather invest in expansion). 3 years invested. You'll go faster as I had to learn it alone.
