I love that you have the land to do this. Whenever I visit a good farm I find it very hard to leave, there is that core earth connected aspect of self that has always wanted to live and work on a farm.
What a great life, thank you for sharing some of it with us!
Have you ever grown Avocado? I have an interest in farming Avocado in CA as a long term investment. There is always a shortage of US grown Avocado especially this time of year. This seems like a great cottage industry to me.

This was just a cold frame. During the winter I can only grow winter greens. Theres actually quite a lot you can grow. If the temp drops below 20 degrees, which rarely happens here I may put a few barn heaters just to keep the chill at bay, but during the day I have to open the doors on each end or it can get pretty warm in there.
Yes, I'm from Florida so I grew and sold lots. I think that organic avocados is a good investment. In CA you have less moisture so your citrus and avocados are more dense, taste different.
My BIG greenhouse there is an older video below. (that is my voice btw)I had quite a hit one year and lost quite a few tropical fruit trees but I'm working on the greenhouse over the winter and looking to create more aquaponics and hydroponics. Because its so costly to cover it with the solar poly we want to use next (Solexx for anyone in the know) we are carefully looking into affordable ways to fully operate this huge ass greenhouse.
But I do know quite a bit about growing tropical fruit trees in containers if anyone needs helps. I am especially knowledgeable at growing citrus. In the video you'll also see true curry leaf which is very sought after for cooking, however now its been proven to have huge health benefits. I will definitely be bumping that project up. I started growing and selling goji berry plants and did awesome this last season.
