landscape fabric and impacted soil

I moved into a new house in the winter and this spring discovered the old owners had covered the garden with black landscape fabric and decorative wood chips. Now that the snow is melted I want to get rid of this stuff and try to put a garden in (mostly vegetables). I'm not sure how long the black fabric has been in place. The weeds aren't much of a problem so I don't think it's been longer than a couple of years at most, but the soil looks pretty impacted.
I need some advice on tilling and what to add to the soil to make it workable. It's a pretty big area: 10x30 on one side and about 8x30 on the other.
I had planned to get a couple cubic yards of triple mix and borrow a tiller somewhere. Help!
