Ocala Food Forest
Permaculture and Florida Wilds
Located in Florida USDA Zone 8b/9a
From soil to plate, every person can make a difference.
Our mission is to help people achieve food independence.
Food is something we take for granted.
It is so easy to hop in the car and run to the grocery store or restaurant and get whatever food we want.
But what if it wasn’t that easy?
With all the crazy things going on in the world today,
I believe we should all start becoming as food independent as possible.
That is why in early 2020, my partner, Julie and I started a garden.
As I was researching garden ideas, I came across this great concept called a food forest. And so the adventure began…
Our Goal:
The Ocala Food Forest is a project in Ocala Florida, USDA Planting Zones 8b & 9a. The Food forest started plantings in late summer of 2020 and just recently received a certificate for our nursery (appointment only). Over time we will build almost 2 acres of an abundance of plants that provide food for humans, animals and insects to enjoy. We will also have displays to show how anyone on any budget or area of space can have a Permaculture Life. Our main plants are Permaculture & Florida Native plants, we will also so display and sale Florida Friendly plants.
Plant Nursery
See what is growing in the Ocala Food Forest & what we have for sale.
See what we have to offer as far as what grows in this zone (8b & 9a) & keep checking out what we have for sale throughout the year that you can add to your yard, garden, or food forest.
Buy the book I created to keep a log of 58 plants.
Unlike garden logbooks that you can find everywhere, this book is designed for permaculture.
About Me
Once I found out about food forests, I got very excited and decided to turn my entire yard into an edible landscape. The more I researched, the more I knew this was something everybody should start doing, because food independence is SO important.
Remember Victory Gardens during WWII? This is the NEW Victory Garden where everybody, regardless of living situation, should strive to grow as much of their own food as possible.
Not only will this create food independence, it will also play a big part in healing not only mind and body, but the entire planet.
