Save old varieties of fruit trees

Hello

We are small family agricultural enterprise from beautiful Croatia (OPGKos Darinka) that just started with market conquest with our products.

This spring we planed to plant an orchard of old varieties of fruit trees on 3 ha (7,41 acre), but situation vith virus Covid 19 stopped us in that intent.

We already dug the holes for fruit trees, but we could not get the passes to acces the future orchard, so we could not plant them.

When strict quarantine was over it was already too late - vegetation started, and we failed for one year.

But we did not give up, this fall we want to realize that plan, but we are out of funds.

Please help us to plant old varieties of fruit trees and in that way we help in preservation of those old cultivars. Those varietes should provide fruits between June and October.

Intention is to have ecological orchard that will help in preservation of flora and fauna on that area and extend biodiversity of that area. Also, we plan to buid bug hotels, and certainly we will not use pesticides or herbicides in this fruit production.

In our fruit trees will be birds nest, and when we finalize the project also a small lake for wild ducks we hope will nest in that area. To protect our fruit trees we also must build the fence araund plantation because wild animals youst love young fruit trees.

From fruits we plan to produce jams, ciders, brandys and juices that you will be able to buy when you visit Croatia.

Part of fruit when they grew, we will donate to home for children without adequate parental care "Sveti Franjo" in Vugrovec.

We will regullary inform about project advance and progress.
