Visit This Nut Farm-Grape Farm Winery-others?

Do you have a few nut trees and go a little nutty when the fruit begins to fall? Then visit with me and some other (nutty) gardeners at this Walnut Farm. This will not be a technical instruction story but a simple example of what goes on at a small WALNUT FARM. These thumbnail photos show what it takes to run a small nut farm.

Have you ever thought about making your own wine? You would certainly need plenty
grapes, either buy them or even raise enough for yourself. Let's visit this NJ farm.

The pictures are beautiful. I come from N.J. We always went to the farms and bought bushels of apples. dad and I would peel all day so mom could make her apple pies[ she would freeze some] and apple sauce to have with a baked ham. We also would get luther hill corn.
