HOW TO DESIGN YOUR COLD CLIMATE FOOD FOREST
An eBook that gives you site planning tips, species lists, implementation advice and more!
learn from my 10+ years of
food forest experience!
If you love the idea of feeding your family fresh homegrown fruits and nuts from your very own food forest then this book might be for you.
In this practical guide, I not only share my step-by-step process for getting a food forest design on paper but you’ll benefit from over ten years of experience designing and installing both my food forest and helping clients with theirs.
While I’ve found that the food forest concept has taken off in the last decade, the prospect of translating the idea into a manageable and doable plan is often daunting. And while there is a lot of information about tropical food forests out there, there is less of an understanding of cold climate food forests and less examples to draw from. And when the information does exist, it is often overwhelming. That’s why I decided to make this guide.
In this 35-page eBook, you’ll learn:
- A step-by-step process for how to design your food forest.
- A species list of cold climate trees, shrubs and other perennials that have worked on my site.
- Examples of cold climate fruit tree guilds.
- Common mistakes that people make when designing and installing their food forest.
- Critical reminders to start you out on the right foot.
- A sample implementation timeline.
- Recommendations on sourcing plants
- and much more!
Hi, I’m Kareen. I help people in cold climates grow their own food so they can eat healthier, live more sustainably and become more self-reliant. Through workshops, consultations, garden design services and my signature Resilient Homestead Program, I’ve helped thousands of people turn their yards into delicious edible landscapes.
In fact, one of my favorite things to do with my clients is to get them started on perennial food forest systems that will feed them for years to come. Which is why I decided to write this book. The recommendations in this book come from over a decade of experience establishing my own food forest and countless experiences helping clients with theirs.
In a world where biodiversity loss, desertification, the climate crisis, water scarcity and other ecological crises loom, planting trees is one of the positive ways in which humans can participate in regeneration, in carbon sequestration, in reducing our food miles and in becoming more connected to our food system. This book will help you in increasing biodiversity on your little piece of the planet while creating your own mini ecosystem of useful, nutritious and beautiful plants.
