    Heart of Palms Ranch and Eco-Farm grows over 35 varieties of perennial and tropical produce. All growing methods you see are inspired by permaculture, regenerative agriculture, and soil biology.
    Guests at their FarmStay (airbnb) are always welcome to join a tour with Shelley to learn about the food forest!

    Wow, how blessed they are to have all that space though, and that is the way of FL growing if you want healthy food. Lots of organic matter, I am on the same path but slower going.. I am on the other side of FL but still so much further behind in my goals. But I will get there even if my husband keeps a lot of grass, I will go around it. Your cinematography on these tours is lovely. David the Good deserves a lot of credit for all these Food Forest Gardeners we see in our state, they just may not realize it. When people were still focused on native flowers he was growing edibles. Nice to meet you all, really enjoy Florida focused channels.

    I totally can relate to her! I also struggled roughly 10 years by doing things by myself, navigating by trial and error. I learned so many stuff from books, but I soon realized that there's a huge gap between theory and practice!

    Hello. I live in SWFL (Arcadia) which is Zone 9b I believe.
    We live on a private lake and we are very interested in Permaculture but we are just beginning our Food Forest.
    We’d love to connect with “local” people that have knowledge of Permaculture and could help us in becoming self-sufficient.
    Please feel free to reach out.
    We’d love to join her free classes!

      @floridafreeliving  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I believe this method of growing in Florida is the way to go. What type of things are you planting in those beds?

    Have you considered creating an UBUNTU community (aka, a Contributionism community)? It is a type of sustainable community that seeks to enable each of its members to pursue what makes them happy to do.
