| On the news and incidental to the story, someone stated that they had just finished installing a 70 tree fruit orchard on their church grounds.
I thought "What a great idea." I don't know if the fruit is to donate to the hungry, or is intended to be a fund raiser for the church. Either way, it is a nice project and, of course, they have lots of volunteer labor. I think it would be an excellent project for other types of non-profit groups, as long as they have access to a bit of land and some reliable workers. |

| Oregon: I hope the volunteer labor part of the deal holds up over the long term. A 70 tree orchard is real work, and it must be sustained over a period of many years. I also hope there is a volunteer who is familiar with the insects and diseases common to the area, and willing to spray the trees on a regular schedule if necessary. Praying will not control insects and diseases on fruit trees. I have tried it. Don Yellman, Great Falls, VA |
