On Sunday April 7th,
FUN had the pleasure of touring Forested (http://www.forested.us/ ) under the guidance of our food forest experts, Ronnie
(a founder and director of FUN) and Christine. Forested is a ten-acre research forest
garden, located in the middle of suburbia. Its practices will serve as the
foundation for the food forests we plan to install on each FUN site.

Food Forests are ecologically
savy food producers, giving us fruit, nuts, berries, herbs, and mushrooms in a sustainable
way. Forested is a thriving, growing agroforest, proving that food production
can be successful with limited impact on the environment. It is a perfect
example of what can be accomplished with food cultivation when working with the
native ecosystem instead of against it…the diversity and abundance of edibles
was amazing.
FUN is excited about establishing
food forests at each of its sites and putting into practice the concepts of
permaculture. Thank you Forested for the very educational tour!
