Help planting an orchard, please!

Description

Howdy! I am hoping to find some help in our community with planting an orchard! I have access to a nice area with a beautiful view, and permission to erect a fence and plant an orchard with food forest. I already own dozens of apple trees that I plan to plant, as well as blueberry bushes, thornless dwarf raspberry bushes, strawberry plants, etc. Most of the plants have been in containers for the past year(s), so are overdue to be planted. Would anyone be interested in helping? While charity would be nice, I know most people do not work for free. I am low income, though, so likely cannot afford to hire help with labor. In exchange for help with fencing and planting, I would be willing to share some of my plants, seeds, food, chicken eggs, and/or layer chickens. Next year, I could also provide tutorials and materials (like scion wood) for grafting apple trees, or for rooting blueberry and raspberry cuttings. In addition to physical labor, I could also use help with advice about fencing out a horse and goats, and advice about equipment that would make the job faster and easier. Thanks! Alyssa
