How to start a garden nursery and fruit tree orchard?

I'm going to be buying about 100 acres for about 2 million dollars in central Ohio. I've always wanted to start my own nursery but I have a few questions about doing so. First of all where do I get the plants and trees? Also things like flowers and tropical house plants to sell. I'd also like to sell mulch, garden decorations, seeds, and also things like stone and patio pavers. Where do I get this stuff from, and probably in wholesale? I'd also like to plant peach, apple, nectarine, etc. trees so people can come and pick the fruit and stuff. I'd also like to try grapes and banana, lime, orange, and lemon tree in greenhouses. Where can I get the things like greenhouses from also. I'd also like vegetables and things. How much will all of this cost and how much money can I make a year from this business. There would also have to be like a water pond and a system to water all of the plants. Now I'd probably only want to use about 50 of the acres, maybe 75 alltogether of the 100

There are several wholesale nurseries out here in CA, like Monrovia, who can supply you. Check out where your local nurseries are getting their plants from. Home Depot gets many of their plants from Monrovia and Lowes has Jackson Perkins as their supplier. You are going to have to cost out which supplier is cheapest for the types of plant material you want. As for water and electricity, you will have to consult your local utility supplier to determine rates. You probably can build your own greenhouse, but you will have to cost out supplies to do so.
Reply:How much you make depends on what you know, and what you can sell. Many nurserymen produce large quantities of plants and flowers, for home and garden WITHOUT `buying in`. Obviously a knowledge of cultivation for a wide range of products is desirable. You will need to know your soil,climate, and customer base well. Good suppliers for plant material are essential, as is knowing your market, having good variety, and supplying knowledgeable advice. If you can specialize in a range of plants/trees/products, so much the better. Greenhouses can cost BIG, but are essential for houseplants, tender plants, and coffee shop ! You should `spy` on the BEST nursery you know - then do better !
Reply:Contact your region's Nursery %26amp; Landscaper's Association. I'm not sure what the organization's exact name is in your area, but here in Texas it's simply the TNLA: Texas Nursery %26amp; Landscaper's Association. There should be one for your area. There you can find the answers for all the questions you have.
Reply:20,000 an acre? Way too much.
