@axeandroothomestead: “Where do I start?” It’s the most common question I get when someone is starting a new food forest growing space. My personal approach is to think about it as a series of guilds. I’ve talked about guilds lots before here on my feed—and you can find more info in my book The Sustainable Homestead. But I think of a food forest as a culmination of multiple series, and each series consists of multiple of guilds. Plantings could be interspersed with stepping stones or pathways for ease of harvest. Too overwhelming? My advice… start with one tree. Create a guild. Add on over time. 👍🏻
