Fruit bearing tree like mangos and oranges. [body] => Hello Michael and Esther, If you already have the land, you can begin by working together with the children to plant say 1 acre with the fruit trees. If you can afford grafted trees, they will take a shorter time to yield and then you can use the proceeds to increase the farm. What will usually happen, (and God works the same way, many times!) When people come and look at your 1 acre and you share your 11 hectare idea, they will be willing to make input. God told the children of Israel at the crossing of the Jordan, that where they step, the water would separate... sometimes He waits for us to step out before opportunities open..

Hello Michael and Esther,
If you already have the land, you can begin by working together with the children to plant say 1 acre with the fruit trees. If you can afford grafted trees, they will take a shorter time to yield and then you can use the proceeds to increase the farm. What will usually happen, (and God works the same way, many times!) When people come and look at your 1 acre and you share your 11 hectare idea, they will be willing to make input. God told the children of Israel at the crossing of the Jordan, that where they step, the water would separate... sometimes He waits for us to step out before opportunities open..
Joseph
