Apparently, the biggest headache is just sitting around waiting forever for the first real harvest, like seven or eight years. But man, they’ve definitely become a huge trend lately.

to love and have time is a luxury.
You might actually see a decent return on that investment in thirty years, maybe.
Walnut groves have always been pricey, and they aren't getting any cheaper.
Personally, I think blackberries or raspberries are a better bet. Though, some people swear by just growing basic green lettuce—you can grow it all year round, harvesting one batch while you're planting the next.

And don't forget the sheep, too. Especially out in coastal California where they're basically doing the work of a whole damn fire department to keep the brush from turning everything into an inferno.

Nothing surprising here, honestly. This has been coming down the pipeline for ages.
We’re basically famous for price hikes at this point.
Expect utility bills to keep climbing, too.
