It sounds like you have a solid mix of fruits,nuts, and perennial veggies.  Plus I'm jealous of the space!   [br]
My vote:  Nitrogen fixers. You've got a advantageous mix to feed humans and animals.  But only clover and grasses to feed the plants that a feeding the humans and animals.  On the surface, and nitrogen fixers seem boring.  But once you look at a few lists,there are some advantageous perennial fruit-bearing (or other purposes) options.

There are tons of "lists" online like the one linked below.

A tree that's not on the list that will add some aesthetic beauty is the Eastern Redbud.  Not certain how it'll accomplish in your area, but it's a really advantageous looking tree.

A food forest permaculture guy you may be interested in is Stefan Sobkowiak.  He's Canadian, and but the concepts transfer just with different plants.  He uses a simple "trio" layout for biodiversity.  He uses the acronym N-A-P (nitrogen fixer - apple - pear/plum).
