grow food beautifully
YEG Food Forest converts under-used spaces into elegant landscapes that produces an abundance of diverse and healthy food. Trade in your lawn maintenance for eating fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs.
What is a food forest?
A Food Forest produces a variety of fruit, herbs and vegetables throughout the season, offering fresh food and medicines every year.
These systems are designed based on the principles of permaculture and syntropy, and partners with Nature’s successional cycle through the use of optimized disturbance events.
These events help speed up the natural progression of the forest system, bringing it towards increased abundance and well-being. As a result, maintenance like watering, mowing and pruning, is significantly reduced.
why they are awesome
Food forests can turn a small under-used space, like a front lawn, into a highly productive area.
They can be designed to focus on fruit, vegetables, flower, or herbs or designed to include all of them.
Food Forests can be inexpensive to install and easy to maintain as they age.
The availability of fresh food in our grocery stores is less certain than ever. Producing your own food guarantees it is fresh, healthy and increases your family’s resilience.
