Hi, I have just about 25 acres of Orchard in Kent, near to Hever. Stocked with predominantly Bramley trees. My Father, back in the 70's used to pick them and sell them locally. Then came Golden Delicious from France and they became almost worthless overnight. So, we then sold them to Merrydown, this became un-viable in the 90's. So now, they grow, they drop, they rot, and its breaking my heart!
I'm looking for someone who wants to take it on. We have a tractor and cutter, a large cold store, but with no equipment in.
Is there anyone out there who wants to talk some more, who can use what we have in return for a small percentage of profit as and when the venture makes any. To be fair, I'm not that bothered as long as I can see the Orchard active again. I'm open to suggestions. I may invest if the proposition needs it.
Any one up for the challenge? Let me know
