The orchard
Apples, pears and plums, planted knowing the first real harvest is years out. An orchard is the longest bet a farm makes and the one that changes a place the most.
Trees go in well before anything else on this list is finished, because the clock starts the day they are planted. Everything an orchard makes possible later, cider, u-pick, a fall people drive out for, begins with that.

That is not a rhetorical question. What people tell us they want is what decides the order we build things in, so if this is the part that interests you, say so.
