If you are getting Chickens then they will do a lot of the hard work for you
look up "chicken tractors" which is what bigmally is talking about I think - there's a good video by Geoff Lawton about the subject.
frost pockets - I mentioned them but might not be relevant. If the slope doesnt have a "hollow" at the bottom that raises up again; i.e. catching descending cold air, then you wont get them. I mean that mound on the right of below picture.
but apparently the frost hardy veg are some brassicas, leeks, parsnips, scorzonera and salsify
With the 3 sisters just plan around having the sweetcorn about 50cm high before you even plant the squash/beans because in the UK corn just doesnt grow fast enough (IMO).
also, there's a chooks forum for chickens
