Do you have excess Fruit?? Go to Farmer’s Market!

The joy of maintaining the tree and eating the delicious fruit are the main motivations for entering the tree growing world. Personally, I think that one can easily carry out a quite profitable scheme with fruit trees. You can do that with no trouble by operating a fruit stand or by taking an active part in a farmer’s market.

I was bit sad and depressed when I moved to Florida because I had left behind countless years of hard work which made me able to establish the luxurious lawn. But I readily overcome this depression and planned to establish a more beautiful and elegant lawn in my new house. I was unfortunate because the previous owner of my new house had taken no care of the lawn. Lots of un-maintained grass was the only thing I could see in my new lawn.

New climate, New trees!

I planned to do some new trees here in the new climate. I was happy because I was able to grow some trees that I had never planted before just because they did not suit the earlier climate. So I decided to get few orange trees because they grow so happily all over Florida. I had some very bad experiences with the trees I have grown earlier and I was totally unaware of the fact that orange tree is so easy to maintain. Valencia orange was my final decision to start off with just because they are the most popular orange genre of the Florida area.

The practical work started after I was done with the decision that which tree should I do. I worked 3 days to dig all the necessary holes and put the trees in them. I bought three trees of Valencia orange and that’s why it took so many days to prepare the holes. I planted the trees so well that I was proud of myself. Future years were as great as the initial experience. Trees grew vertically straight, caught no disease at all and most of all gave fruits exactly when they were expected to.

Lots of fruit:

First three or four years were not too good as far as the quantity of fruits were concerned. Still the fruit was not so less and I always got them for my personal use. I enjoyed a lot of orange juice in those years but I was bit worried deep inside because I was not getting so much amount of fruit from the three trees. I was not depressed at all but still I was not too happy as I had heard that people get thousands and thousands of oranges from several trees. I started considering myself bit unfortunate for that!!

But after one year my orange trees really took off. I was amazed one day when suddenly I looked at the trees and found 5 times as many fruits there as I had grown in any earlier time. Now I was unable to think what to do of so many fruit. I harvested them all and kept in my kitchen for few days but I was constantly thinking what to do with all this fruit now. My neighbor then suggested me that I should sell at Farmer’s market and that suggestion attracted me a lot.

The first day at Farmer’s market was awesome and I easily earned back all the money which I spent on the original trees. I felt my self so lucky when I found out that I was able to attract more costumers than any of the other participant of Farmer’s market. I then became a regular participant of Farmer’s market. I was happy that I was able to earn handsome amount of money by just selling oranges! I happily thought that this was the best use of those oranges as one human can’t eat them all. Final words, if you have got excess quantity of fruit, never eat it all or throw away. You can make a better use of them by simply selling them at Farmer’s market. That will earn you a lot of extra cash and that I assure you…!!
