Looking for land to farm in Portland metro area

Land Seeker Description

I’m a beginner grower and aspire to become well versed in herbalism. I’d like to grow culinary and medicinal herbs as well as edible flowers. I’m interested in selling to restaurants and at farmers markets, and want to make tinctures and other related products. I’m located in southeast Portland and don’t need housing at this time but I would be willing to relocate within the area. I’d also love to nurture some prairie or woodland for biodiversity and light foraging
