  3. Consider the property layout – Orchards can thrive on both flat ground and on slopes. Think about things like irrigation, drainage, sunlight, exposure and the underground water shed
  4. On-site assets – Does the property come with equipment? Are there barns and sheds for storage? Where can you keep things like fertilizer, seeds and extra tools for maintaining the orchard for sale in question. Does the property have an on-site well or natural spring? Think about where your water comes from and the quality of that water
