Farming is not easy, not pretty, not wildly profitable. And I had no prior experience; then, why did I even get into it? I believe I felt a connection. Plus the challenge excited me - To be a successful farmer nowadays, one has to be equal parts entrepreneur and agronomist. As I dug into it, I also found farming to be fulfilling. That's how I branched into agriculture, as the Sanskrit aphorism "Vriksho Rakshati Rakshitaha" (Trees, when protected, protect you) took on a new meaning for me.

Almond Bloom.. Bees busy at work! They are expensive!!
Almond trees are not self-pollinating, so we need at least two different varieties of trees for a productive orchard. Bees pollinate alternating rows of almond varieties. Frost free, mild temperatures allow bees to work their best.
