Where would you buy farm and what would you grow?

i am looking into that right now. I have lived my whole life in central florida, zone 9. i want to grow pecans and specialty fruits; avocado, carambola aka star fruit to over come the cold hazard to these i will grow the espaliered this will also maximize space on a micro farm. I will grow blue berries, black berries and try raspberries. This is in addition to seasonal vegetables and herbs. I will try to get double use out of the areas where trees and maybe where the berries are grown and raise chickens. At the price of land you must maximize land use. If you can go organic or grow specialty crops you are ahead. Certified organic demands top dollar and specialty crops are just that special.
