Almost Self-Reliant
Mom and Dad have relied only on family to do the man-power needed to keep the orchard in shape. Our family is big enough to harvest. Well, I did call our parish agent, but the only piece of advice he looked like he wanted to give me, was to get my produce checked by the state. I already knew he wanted me to do that, but was hoping he'd give me some kind of advice on marketing. I told him, even if I got the fruit checked for its acid content, that I'd have hundreds of Lbs of good fruit and no buyer. Then he mentioned something about registering online with the state, which would be a free means of advertising what products I have to potential vendors, so I at least have that going for myself.
There is a grand opening farmer's market located centrally in our parish on the 15th and I've reserved a booth. I'll bring a little of everything we have, plus some crafts and hopefully we can move some oranges.
