[QUOTE="franklin, post: 4234410, member: 1118"] I am looking to plant a nice orchard using traditional varieties over 10ac. The way I have approached it is that there are folk who know a *lot* more than me, and so I have asked them for help. As they know it is a genuine project they have been keen to give advice from varieties; land prep; maintainence etc. I found my contact through someone I had lay a hedge for me. The question for me is, will 10ac of lovely traditional apple and cherry orchard add anything to my farm or will it be either a money pit, or worse a time pit and generate no income at all? I know everyone wants to own their own land, but do you really want to sink 200k into a nice field and then plant some trees? Nice position to be in, but beyond a dream what is the actual point if not to produce a product and make an income? [/QUOTE]
