Orchards and Vineyards
Fruit Orchards
Nut Orchards
The methods to produce food for the residents of The Resort at Forest Haven in times of a nationwide emergency will not be limited to the grain fields that will be cultivated and managed by the resort. Resort families will maintain two to three acres of orchards or vineyards of a cultivar of their choice on their own property. For example, if a resident family is passionate about apples or peaches, then they may choose a grove of fruit trees for their orchard. Or, if they are passionate about olives, then they can grow and maintain a grove of olive trees. Or if pecans, then they can choose to grow pecan trees in their two to three acres. Similarly, if they are passionate about having a vineyard, then they can plant their acreage in grapevines. The end result will be a total of 600 to 900 acres of fruit, nuts, and other crops that will help to sustain resort residents in a time of emergency or nationwide food shortage. However, in times when there is no food shortage or national emergency, the crop produced by a resident family’s orchard or vineyard can be used for whatever they would like. For example, they can sell their crop to a local organic market. They can package and sell it under their own private label. They can team with other resort residents and form a group label. They can sell their entire crop to a co-op for distribution. Or they can choose to keep their trees healthy and do nothing at all with their crop. Regardless, the options are totally up to them.

A Georgia peach, a real Georgia peach, a backyard great-grandmother’s orchard peach, is as thickly furred as a sweater, and so fluent and sweet that once you bite through the flannel, it brings tears to your eyes.

Whenever possible, I use local, fresh ingredients, just because it tastes and feels better to eat an egg or a tomato or a hamburger that wasn’t flown halfway around the world, that didn’t travel on a truck and get stuck in traffic jams, that hasn’t been sitting in a supermarket’s refrigerator case for days.

What is paradise, but, a garden, an orchard of trees and herbs, full of pleasure and nothing there but delights.

One of my ambitions is to move to Tuscany. I like the idea of getting a vineyard. I love being under the sun and being casual and comfortable. That’s my idea of heaven.
