The beginning of the Sweeney's Farms and Orchards
Sweeney's Farms and Orchards is in it's beginning stages. We purchased 14.6 acres of land in the very small town of Albany, LA in October of 2013. So far we've managed to clear anywhere from 3 to 5 acres and move our mobile home onto the property. For now we are living in Ponchatoula, LA until we have finished getting the mobile home ready to move into, which seems like it's taking forever. The last step in getting onto the property is building a front porch, which will be started on tomorrow. Our Orchard is also in it's beginning stages. Currently we have 2 myers lemon trees, 1 lime tree, 2 blood orange trees, 1 Louisiana sweet orange, 1 Navel orange, 1 pomegranate, and 1 avocado tree along with very young peach trees and cherry trees. All of which are all in pots for another month.
