Last year, a group of students (of which I was one) helped to start a student run farm. Its called SOFT, Student Organic Farm Training, with its goal being to give us hands on farm experience before we graduate. We have a deal with a local market who agreed to buy produce from us when its available, and made our first sale recently, 30lbs of lettuce, not much, but you got to start somewhere!
We have quite a bit of land to work with still, I've put in 5 different bananas so far (Lakatan, Pisang Jari Buaya, Obino l'Ewai, Tango and Pama). I have a bunch more that will hopefully go in soon, and I'm currently growing out about 50 or so Senorita that we can hopefully plant before January.
In addition to bananas, we have lettuce, tomatoes, starfruit, loquat, mountain apple, and papaya on the farm. However, around the edge of the farm, there is a giant row of lychee trees, a giant row of mango trees, about 25 or so different citrus and a bunch of other trees mixed in (jakfruit, longan, chico, miracle berry and many more), which if we want to, can begin to manage and sell the fruit, but so far they have just been the equivalent of a snack bar.
Over the summer, our adviser planted out all these 'Dwarf Brazilian' plants next to our farm, and told they are ours to manage, harvest and sell. I didn't count them, but I think its about 40-50 plants.
