Here’s some advice I’d repeat to you that I shared in another thread (to which a lot of people contributed a lot of good advice that you may want to read over):
As a beginner, I was too skeptical of fruits that I wasn’t familiar with. I thought hardy kiwis, for just one example, surely wouldn’t be very good or wouldn’t grow well here. Wouldn’t everyone else be growing them already if what these oddball nurseries were saying were remotely true? Similarly, I figured what did I need fancy, big, exotic persimmons for when I had native persimmons. I’m growing more Asian and hybrid persimmons now than pretty much any other fruit, and I still appreciate American persimmons as much as ever, but they’re plenty different. Some of the unusual things I’ve tried haven’t turned out great, but a lot of my favorite fruits to grow now are fruits that I had never even tasted before when I started planting trees.
And here, from another thread, are some thoughts I shared on the potential for growing organically that might be helpful to you:
