I have been building my food forest for the last nine years in the deep south, I have done it on a shoe string , by my self. All I have learned has been from reading and applying. I can finally feed myself almost 90 percent from what I grow. There is very little interest in the community for permaculture. It is big farm factory business country. I get very lonely for likeminded people but nonetheless my forest flourishes and in the right light I feel like I'm in paradise. Someday my adult children will join me and their inheritance will carry them to the future. thank you It is 2010, Sept and I just found you.

I would like to know how one would go about setting up a food forest in a cool temperate climate such as that of the Northern US. I thought it would make for an interesting challenge ^-^ I find the principles behind the food forest to be deeply intriguing. The subtropical settings shown in the "Establishing a Food Forest" DVD could be extrapolated to South Florida conditions (USDA Hardiness Zone 10B) IMO. Even with all this karst one can perform miracles. Is it possible to take a full permaculture course somewhere in the Midwest?

One of our missions is to heal people and the planet together. We are building a food forest on our twenty acres in Southern Missouri and plan to teach the food forest principles to all of our members. We have saw-dust toilet with composting center finished, along with our first Cob House, Chicken House, dug well and first swales and berms going in around our Farmer Trees. Plans include greenhouse, nursery, forty Farmer Trees and visitor trails through the forest. We cannot heal ourselves without due consideration for the health of the environment.

I've started a food forest and larger permaculture design on a 100 acre site near Fredericktown Missouri. So far we've built an outhouse for humanure composting, live-in cabin, chicken coop and connected greenhouse, kitchen garden, and food forests. We've got one full time resident (me) and five more as of this summer. A great campaign you've gotten started here! I also purchased the food forest dvd and was similarly inspired.

I live in the Midwest US and also have Geoff Lawton's DVD. I'm not a certified designer; however, I am designing and planting a food forest on my property and plan on becoming certified so I can help plant food forests all over as well.
