ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The opportunity exists for owners to operate and manage this farm themselves at the end of the current lease to the Batlow Fruit Co Operative in May 2007. In this way excellent returns could be made by a family working the orchard themselves. Gross product sales are currently around $1 million with expenses for casual staff, fuel, chemicals etc, being around $350,000 to $400,000. This allows an excellent financial return for a hard working family unit.

Alternatively you can buy this farm and have a secure income without any management or financial hassles. The lease agreement with the Batlow Fruit Co Operative is an annual one, renewable in May of each year.
