We took the kids out to a blueberry u-pick this morning and while they had an absolute blast, it made me realize the potential of that business model. A food forest orchard would multiply the yields by spreading out the harvests from early spring to late fall (and perhaps even beyond). Here in North Florida, I could imagine a mix of mulberry, loquat, peach, jujube, fig, cattley guava, various citrus, persimmon, and elderberry (maybe more) over story. The under story could be filled with shrub fruits or vegetables, the list could be endless. With a simple greenhouse, you could add some true tropicals like banana, avocados, papaya (all of which I have grown successfully outside, but would do better in a greenhouse. As an added benefit, visitors would be picking in shade instead of baking in the sun. For all investors, I take sats 😜.
