I’m trying to cultivate more perennials. Currently, I have: strawberries, elderberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, concord grapes, loganberries, gogi berries, figs, comfrey, rhubarb, asparagus horseradish; also perennial herbs sage and rosemary. What do I need to add? Zone 7.

Jujube?
Dang you are stocked!
Got fruit trees already? If so then honey bees? Other kinds of blueberries?
Lavender and fruit/nut trees are about all I could really suggest. Muscadine maybe.
I forgot i have lavender. Actually have 45 lavender plants. I have wild muscadines! Need to cultivate some.
Thanks!
How many acres do you farm?
I have 44 acres total. i farm about 1-2.
Animals or crops? Is the rest not useable for farming?
crops. more is useable but there is a time and energy factor
I noticed a lot of berries. What about trees like apple, pear or peach?
need to add fruit trees
I have PawPaw fruit trees. They are really exotic for a native NA fruit. They grow in zone 7. But takes a long time before they produce.
I need to get some.
That’s awesome. I have 60 acres and 12 is farmed. But not by me - I lease the fields. You need literally millions in equipment to farm fields and it would make no sense.
I'm looking at giving Arctic Kiwi a shot.
French sorrel
Green garlic, (typical garlic with small bulbs harvested for their tops and flower stems)
Onion or garlic chives.
Haskap / honey berry is on the edge in 7
Nut shrubs / trees
I want to try Good king Henry don’t know what it tastes like but good for shoots and leaves like spinach for cooking.
Thanks
