Adams Acres orchard in Rialto, California

I want to save the last orange grove in Rialto, California. When I was a boy there were hundreds of groves in Rialto and now mine is the only survivor. In addition to oranges, I have added many varieties of fruit trees to learn which ones will do best in the rapidly changing climate. I have a Ph.D. in soil science from the University of California at Riverside. I am retired and need some financial help so I can pay my water bills and continue buying different varieties of heat and drought-tolerant trees, vines, and vegetable plants. I have a business license and hope to be able to cover a good part of my expenses in the future by selling my organically grown produce. I also want to demonstrate how much produce can be raised on vacant plots of city-owned land.
