Food Forests

A food forest is a productive forest system designed to provide specifically for human needs and the needs of the animals that we would like to include in our system. Forests consist predominantly of perennial species and are an example of what we call climax vegetation (a community of plants, animals, and fungi which have developed over time and reached a steady or stable state). A food forest is a low maintenance, self-renewing system and an excellent, productive use of vertical space.
