Thanks y'all! We're really excited about it. We'll be starting about 400 trees this winter (mostly figs) for selling and our production plants. We plan to use about an acre for fig production (still finalizing which cultivars we'll be using). Would love to see some of you folks this coming spring and summer. Stay tuned to our blog or Facebook page if you'd like to keep track of the progress on the farm. __________________ http://threefoldfarm.org - Fig trees and farm updates https://www.facebook.com/ThreefoldFarm South Central PA (6b,7a) Want List: Ital 258, any figs found growing in PA, NJ, or NY

I'm late to the party this time. Congratulations, Tim. I know you are a hard worker and a good man. If anyone can be successful at this venture in our area, you can. I will certainly be there. If it is a u-pick figs, you may have to weigh me before and after, don't trust only the weight of the basket. __________________ SE Pa, zone 6b https://www.facebook.com/offthebeatenpathnurseries

Thanks all, your posts are really encouraging. Hope to see y'all through the coming year. Bill, yep, u-pick figs will be tough with you! Maybe we'll have to restrict you to those already picked ;-) Will likely have some sort of open house next summer so I'll be sure to put it on the forum when we do! __________________ http://threefoldfarm.org - Fig trees and farm updates https://www.facebook.com/ThreefoldFarm South Central PA (6b,7a) Want List: Ital 258, any figs found growing in PA, NJ, or NY

Grats on your lovely farm. I am so envious. Hopefully I can make it up if you do have an open house. It would be great to see it in person. Enjoy __________________ Wish List: @Hmari, @Maltese beauty, @Col de Dame Grise, @Bryant Dark, @Lynhurst White, @Melcedonia Dark, @Panevino Dark, @Paradiso

Tim, Congrats and good luck in your endeavors. Looks like a lot of fun. When I get tired of this corporate stuff maybe I'll join the foray :) I bet you could do really well with hoop houses and stepover type figs in your climate. __________________ Rob Maryland Zone 7 http://rbfigs.webs.com/

Tim look up using a trellis system for your trees. My cousin is doing it for his farm for his apple trees. He planted them pretty close together he said doing so causes the fruit to produce earlier than it normally would spaced out. Also he can put more trees up on less land.

Tim, you are not too far north of me in Maryland. I'll definitely try to visit at some point during the growing season. Best of luck with your new endeavor! __________________ Steve MD zone 7a

Steve, sounds good, please do! Rewton, the orchard I worked for over the past growing system grew apples on a trellis with good results. We'll likely plant apples, but only on a trial basis. We plan to focus on low to no spray fruits so apples and stone fruits are out on the east coast. I'll certainly be experimenting with some in-ground figs and may try some sort of stepover espalier with winter row cover system. We'll see! Main product for figs will be via pots though unless I can get solid production out of in-ground figs. __________________ http://threefoldfarm.org - Fig trees and farm updates https://www.facebook.com/ThreefoldFarm South Central PA (6b,7a) Want List: Ital 258, any figs found growing in PA, NJ, or NY
