Bev, at least with the fruit trees, Ron can take some fresh fruit in to work 
with the eggs and offer them to your other egg customers.  I didn't know you 
liked to ride.  What kind of horses do you have?  I have an Arabian gelding 
CMK breeding, lots of Crabbet.  Very intelligent, sane and athletic.  I love 
him to pieces.  I also have a house pig, a little pot-bellie.  That is why I 
don't eat pork anymore.  I have learned that pigs are way too intelligent to 
eat.  It is almost like eating children.  Can't do.
