Vegan bought a farm in Scottish Highlands to grow a NUT tree forest

Crowd funding to raise the cash

 

[betweenthelines]

Be interesting to see how many people the farm can feed when down to nut production rather than meat

 

[curlietailz]

Could be an interesting experiment
Will productive but trees grow in the Scottish Highlands?
Who will pick them

 

[Cowabunga]

Good idea to get other people to fund your farming even though I'm sure they will get some kind of government tree planting grant/subsidy. How can they fail? It's nutty.

Red squirrel population should do well ,they wont be short of food

I think this is the guy behind the scheme [emoji848]

 

[curlietailz]

Anyone know where the farm is ????

Thats what you call milking vegans. Whoever is doing this gets to keep the farm someone else has paid for. Clever marketing. I think I'll claim to be a vegan and set up a similar gofund me page

Do you think they realise the Scottish Highlands get quite cold and quite windy quite often?

Having visited the hazelnut growers who supply Ferrero Rocher for their choccies when we were in Chile last year, they have a snowballs chance in hell of growing them in Scotland!

That was my thought
Scottish Highlands
Very cold very wet and very windy
Nut trees no doubt do grow there, but I think it would hardly be a viable commercial venture
And I doubt there are loads of nut pickers available to harvest the nuts

Come on, get off the fence. Tell us how you truly feel.

Trust me I restrained myself

Plenty of hazelnuts here but we are 200 miles south

 

[Henarar]

Perhaps they will keep sheep in between the nut trees

It’s proberly a 1-2 acre allotment that had a couple sheep on

Vegans and the internet have a habit of making it up... there could even be no land or ‘nut’ farm and someone’s cashing in with a crowd fundee

You dont have to be a V**gan to grow them ! Pine nuts ( pinus pinea) selling at more than £50 per kilo online, native European species
