Any grants available?

Just a thought, what about PYO (pick your own)?.........can`t say i`ve seen anything like it here.
My neighbour has gone down this "turismo" route and has the said 7 sheep plus he`s planted Apple, citrus.cane fruits and lots of other stuff........don`t know what he intends do do with it all but watching him graft while I sit and watch I have often thought that it would make a great little PYO spot.................just wondered.

Hi, thanks for the reply, I was starting to think there is only me and canoeman on this forum! Sounds like your neighbor is part of the co-op grant thing which covers apples etc. As I am over 40 I can not apply for that one without setting up a younger business partner, which is the sort of rubbish I am trying to get away from. I like your idea, but I know someone who does it un-officially and even picks it himself (PIH?) and struggles to sell it at a pittance. I know there will not be much money with the economy the way it is but this sort of money is from the EU. Do seven goats get the same grant as seven sheep or a mix of both?
Regards
Knocker.

Hello Dennis

Fred and me where at the river bar in Gois a little while ago and someone you says he knows you had a similar idea but with Cherries. He just cut some branches down and came back with them for use now that's a novel idea. I says that if he is up in time we may see you at the Miranda market a week on Sunday.
