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

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

What has a hazelnut in every bite. "Squirrel sh!t"

 

[Ffermer Bach]

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

I stayed on an organic sheep farm in New Zealand, many years ago, and if I remember correctly he was planting macadamia nut trees and grazing the sheep underneath, so to me, that sounds a good idea, not that I would do it here! All trees in hedges here.

They are currently trying to make a living by, effectively, begging.

More begging?
You get first chance to buy the first batch of mozzarella or name a cow

Not bad on top of the £500,000 start up from the government in 2018

 

[Av Gorritt]

Do they not offer anything in return for the funding ? I have a few hazel shrubs i planted 20yrs ago here in the Isle of Harris, never seen a nut

Yes , me too, and I'm a lot further south than you are .

What! How?

Just Google fife buffalo farmer

I think the amount of nuts the farm produces may only just power the workforce needed to harvest them.
How long does it take to grow a high yielding nut tree?

 

[Henarar]

it will drive them nuts in the end if their not already

 

[Mr Mackay]

all you need to open a hazel nut is your pocket knife

Yes , and its amazing how often you can stick said knife into yoursef!!

shouldn't do if you do it correctly it only needs a twist

anyone know what the promised return/liability is to the funders/investors? be interesting to compare it to a bank because I'd be surprised if any bank would touch this project with a pole

Global Vegan Crowd Funder is a not-for-profit crowdfunding platform run by vegans, for vegan / ethical projects and initiatives

globalvegancrowdfunder.org

Take a look at Gina Bates (@hilltopgina): https://twitter.com/hilltopgina?s=09

My understanding of crowdfunding is that it's money give no string attached (NSA). There is no liability or return on investment. The people handing over the cash are donating it, not investing it.

What! How?

He wouldn't be able to market it as Buffalo mozzarella though would he ? thought that was one of the regional foods protected in the EU and could only be made in parts of Italy, of course he could sell it after the 31st of oct.......

I've got the scars from practicing to do it correctly [ouch! emoji]

 

[Longlowdog]

I've planted lots of hazel bushes. No nuts produced in 13 years.

Well the cows went home to Holland ? Not sure why , perhaps the crowdfunding did not come up?
So is nut harvesting for hazel milk Mozzarella the answer?

problem is you have been putting your nuts next to the wrong type of bush
