At Food Forest Abundance Minnesota, We are catalyzing a movement to convert as many existing lawns & farmlands into diverse, plentiful, and easy-to-maintain food forests. Food forests rely on biological & botanical advantages found in nature to eliminate the need for poisons & pesticide use whatsoever and are permanent fixtures that scale to any size, are adaptable to any climate, and have plentiful annual yield.
We have perfected a design system that enables the creation of food forests of any scale and made it available to the world. Individuals, families, and communities can purchase fully-designed plans to create their food forests. More food forests mean more resources for individuals & local communities to live healthier lives free from the industrialized food complex
We’re breaking down barriers by proving home food production is practical and economical. Our system demonstrates that anyone, regardless of resources or expertise, can create and maintain their abundant food forest.
Our mission goes beyond just growing food. It’s about:
We are facing a widespread global ecosystem collapse that will affect everything from our food supply to our current way of life. With our system, individuals and communities can take control of their food supply, ensuring health and security for all
We're tackling pressing concerns like access to pesticide-free, nutritious food and combating food insecurity head-on. Over 72% of food sold in the US contains residues of harmful pesticides & poisons. Food Forests are naturally designed to be pesticide-free.
By transforming lawns and farmlands into diverse, plentiful food forests, we’re not just growing food – we’re regenerating the environment. Our solution promotes biodiversity, reduces the need for harmful chemicals, and fosters a healthier ecosystem for generations to come

Centralized Food System
Our food supply chain is fragile and is under immense pressure due to worldly events. Certain areas are affected more than others, but we are all at risk.
Chemicals & Poisons
Our food supply chain relies on the use of toxic chemicals. Often, we do not know what we are consuming when we purchase from the grocery store.
Harsh on Environment
Food is trucked around in order to get to your mouth. It is also harvested using equipment that utilizes energy that is not clean or renewable.
QUALITY CONTROL
Know what goes in and on your food by choosing your soil and how you manage pests.
Grow food without the use of harsh and toxic chemicals.
FOOD SECURITY
Grow your own food and control where it comes from. If there is a food shortage, be prepared.
Be in control of the source of food and be prepared for self-sufficiency
NUTRITION & TASTE
Food has more nutrition when picked directly from the plant and eaten fresh.
It will also be the freshest and best tasting.
