trees

To buy a parcel of land in Southern Ontario for the purpose of starting a nut farm.

It is a long term project requiring a few years to enable the trees to become productive.

Nut trees indigenous to Southern Ontario would be sourced from local nurseries, purchased and planted on the land.

The land need not be rich in earth, in the sense a potato farm or grape farm needs rich earth. It needs only soil, water, climate and sun sufficient for growing nut trees.

11% of trees in Toronto are fruit-bearing trees, though few homeowners have the capacity to provide the special care that these trees need. Not Far From The Tree already houses a database of over 900 fruit trees from 750 Torontonians, and so many people have already approached us seeking help with pruning, organic pest control, what kind of fruit tree to plant in their yard, and general care for their fruit trees.
