The easiest food to grow … Organic Apples. Delicious and excellent Cash crop.

If you are looking for an easy food to grow consider the Apple. About 15 years ago we planted 2 Apple Tree Seedlings that cost about $20 each. We were told that we needed at least 2 so that they could cross pollinate. I'm glad we planted 2.
We chose the Golden Delicious and Empire Apple Varieties. We do not use any chemicals or pesticides on these trees and now get thousands of delicious organic apples every year.

What do you do with thousands of apples? Well we eat an apple a day starting in August... then we make apple pies, apple crisp, apple sauce, apple vinegar and dehydrated apple chips... ok that's a few hundred apples.

What do we do with the rest ?

We sell them. To deer hunters, horse farms, and Dairy cow farmers. A large organic apple can sell for $3 per apple. We sell ours for $1 an apple and $100 for a bushel.

There are about 130 apples in a bushel and this summer and fall we sold over 60 bushels of apples. That's a $6,000 income from 2 dwarf apple trees. We even sell the apples that start falling from the Tree in July and August. Who buys such apples ? Deer hunters amd Horse Farms. We get $20 a bushel for these apples.
