A Food Forest is a low maintenance gardening technique that mimics a woodland ecosystem but substitutes woodland species with edible trees, bushes, perennial vegetables, herbs, vines, and annuals. Benefits There are many benefits to creating food forests. Food forests: • Can be squeezed into the smallest of plots • Can be built around an existing tree • Create a balanced ecology • Pump out fruit, nuts, flowers, herbs • Are simple to create and maintain • Provide habitat, pollination, fertilizer & pest management How To Grow a Food Forest?? Food Forests are grown like a forest, not in the forest. By observing the natural patterns of a healthy forest ecosystem, we see a lot of intimate, successful relationships. A healthy forest converts solar energy into biomass, so why not learn from it to grow our own food systems? This may take a moment to process since we are used to hearing and reading about spacing between plants and rows, nutrient and light competition. In short, we have a traditional view of agriculture that holds back natural succession and biodiversity. When I look at a healthy forest, it looks like everything is blasting out of the same hole! There are tall, overstory trees, mid-sized trees, small understory trees, shrubs, herbs, ground covers, and mushrooms, with vines climbing up through it all! It’s all pumping and working together, not neatly spaced out. Where there is sufficient water, land wants to become forest and return to ecological diversity. The forest may not necessarily be full of the species we favor for food, medicine, and drinks, but we can take the idea and the pattern and design our own food forest.
