Our Food Forest

PLANTING OUR FOOD FOREST

Wanting to create a food forest seems to be a natural result of having a holistic view on your environment, in my case anyway.

What do you do when you decide to work with 10 hectares of land on which you also want to build ecological buildings and work with renewable energy?

Well, a food forest using permaculture principles fits perfectly in that picture.

WHAT DO I KNOW?

Well, a little bit more than I did yesterday. Much knowledge to be gained. But why reinvent the wheel when there are people who already have the expertise and are delighted to share it?!

WHERE ARE WE NOW?

At the very beginning! It is an idea that is about to be realized. From intangible desire to physical manifestation. Right now, we are right in-between! How very exciting, scary and joyous!
