Description

We currently have costumers interested in organically grow fruits and vegetables. We grow Osage Orange (Maclura pomifera) trees for the fruit for biochemicals and bioenergy. We practice agroforestry row cropping with the trees and vegetable production. Hopefully, we will obtain our USDA organic certification within one year. We have a pilot plant in which we process the fruit. The seeds are high in oil (38%), proteins, and starches and the fruit mass is high in iso-flavanoids and phytosterols. We also are experimenting with raising Black Soldier Fly Larvae and Silk Worms. The fly larvae are feed and raised on the fruit and the silkworms are grown on the tree leaves (the tree is in the same family as the Mullberry). Our objective is to create an industrial tree crop that will produce bioproducts, biochemicals, and bioenergy while sequestering large amounts of carbon. The trees begin bearing fruit at 7-10 years and will produce fruit for over 75 years. The wood is the densest and the strongest tree in North America. The trees are disease, insect, drought, and freeze resistant. The wood tree posts will survive for up to 100 years.
