Hello
Orchards contain trees and this is what can be seen on landscape, if you do
a survey.

>From trees you can get some fruits, but it is once in a while, the crop is
only once per year, and only if you get lucky, some years there is nothing,
depending on wheather conditions.

Therefore the tag 'trees' seems better to me.

The farm produces something, and the tag 'produce' seems better (to me) for
a farm than for an 'orchard'.

Agree with Warin, who wrote:

Looking at the wider application to farmland leads to things like potatoes,
these are not trees.
The  use of the tag tree for things like strawberry plants is not good.
They are NOT trees!
Other plants, such as 'shrubs' too are being tagged as 'trees' too.
Personally I prefer the key 'produce' as it does mean what leaves the farm
(or orchard).
These is also no problem with produce such as milk - tree=milk or crop=milk
make no sense.
Then there are palm trees that produce dates ...

If you want to keep it simple .. I think 'produce' is best.
