What is a Food Forest?

A food forest is a system of gardening or farming that mimics the natural ecosystem of a forest and brings a variety of edible plants to your backyard!

It utilizes all seven layers of a forest to maximize the efficiency of the system and is composed mostly of fruit and nut trees, shrubs, vines, and perennial herbs and flowers.

A food forest is sustainable and low maintenance, and it can provide home to many beneficial wildlife such as birds, bees, and butterflies.
