How much space do I need for a food forest?

You can start small; we designed a food forest on 700 square feet in Orlando that is loaded with over 40 food and medicine producers. You can yield more in the same square footage as an annual garden by utilizing food forest layers.

How much will a food forest installation cost?

Costs are estimates based on the entire design space. We often phase out installations based on your budget to ensure the successful establishment of thriving edible gardens.

How much does it cost to plant a fruit tree?

Costs depend on tree size (including planting): Small (1-5 gallon) is $130–$330; Medium (6-15 gallon) is $330–$700; Large (15-25 gallon) is $700–$1,800.

How much does it cost to plant berry bushes?

Costs depend on bush size (including planting): Small (1-2 gallon) is $60–$130; Medium (3-5 gallon) is $130–$250.

What is the difference between a traditional garden and a food forest?

A traditional garden is usually composed of annuals that need replanting every year, while a food forest is a multi-layered, perennial system that mimics nature. Once established, it is more resilient and produces food across seven layers.

How does the 'Foodification' process work?

The Foodification process involves assessing your site's unique conditions, designing a layout that utilizes natural principles, and installing a custom, scalable edible landscape that works with your specific climate.

Can I have a food forest in a small backyard?

Yes. We specialize in designing for any scale. By utilizing vertical space and layered planting, we can maximize food production even in modest, suburban backyard footprints.

Do I need to use pesticides or fertilizers in a food forest?

Our goal is to work with nature. By choosing diverse, mutually beneficial plant species and building healthy soil, we aim to eliminate the need for harmful synthetic chemicals and fertilizers.

How do I get started with a design?

The first step is to schedule a consultation. We will discuss your vision, assess your space, and determine the best approach to creating your custom Food Forest Design Blueprint.

When is the best time to plant a food forest in Minnesota?

In Minnesota, the best time to plant is early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked, or in the fall before the ground freezes, allowing roots to establish before the heat of summer.

Become an Abundance Ambassador for Food Forest Abundance

Hello Everyone! It is Travis Holzem with Food Forest Abundance and I have an exciting announcement to make! But before I get there I want to say, I have been extremely fortunate to be one of the Founding Partners of Food Forest Abundance and the owner of Food Forest Abundance Minnesota which became the first Minnesota Co-Op Designer/Installer in Minnesota. Since starting the company I have also had opportunities to travel to Florida where my friend and CEO Jim Gale who is our Founder and Chief Storyteller lives, to Install Food Forests in the Orlando area, and we traveled to Austin, Texas a couple of times to film a complete food forest install from beginning to end while shooting an episode for The Highwire with Del Bigtree, and then the second time to film the Pilot for Land of Plenty.

At Food Forest Abundance we believe Permaculture-based design and landscaping that mimics nature is how we solve many of the world’s largest issues – from food security to climate change and health improvement – growing your own food locally is how we believe we save this world!

We offer remote and onsite design services with our team of 40+ permaculture designers, and then have trained Cooperative Partners to conduct the installation should the client request our services!

We have grown exponentially over the last year and have done designs in over 20 countries as well as in nearly every state in the USA. We filmed a trailer for a TV series with Steve Irwin’s (Crocodile Hunter) former producer while installing a Custom Designed Food Forest for Adrian Grenier of Entourage (HBO Series)
