A food forest is a diverse, perennial garden that mimics a forest ecosystem and patterns found in nature. It typically involves a variety of perennial plants and incorporates 7 layers of edible plants including, fruit trees, nut trees, shrubs, herbs, vines, rhizomes, mushrooms, and perennial vegetables planted in a way that creates a lush, diverse, self-sustaining landscape environment that provides fresh produce right in your own space.
Imagine your yard filled with abundant fruit trees, berry bushes, herbs, and vegetables that come back year after year, with minimal maintenance and a huge boost to biodiversity. This natural setup also helps restore the soil, and increase water retention, making it a sustainable, eco-friendly solution.
“Permaculture principles focus on thoughtful designs for small-scale intensive systems which are labor efficient and which use biological resources instead of fossil fuels. Designs stress ecological connections and closed energy and material loops. The core of permaculture is design and the working relationships and connections between all things.” ~Bill Mollison

Food forests integrate and draw from the disciplines of permaculture, regenerative agriculture, ecology, biology, and other natural sciences. Together, these disciplines create a living set of tools and practices that can help us engage with nature and our food production in a meaningful way.
A diverse community of life can grow in a small space, making food forests especially suitable for urban and suburban environments. At a deeper individual level, the practice of food forestry can help us cultivate ourselves and transform the ways in which we see and live in the world.
