FAQs
Your Nature Coast Food Forest Landscape Blueprint will be fully customized to your climate, planting zone, topography, space, as well as to the beauty, functionality, and abundance you wish to have. Pricing is based on the desired size of your design (not your total lot size).
HOW MUCH SPACE DO I NEED?
We designed a food forest on 700 square feet in Orlando, FL and it’s loaded with over 40 food and medicine producers. Through the layers of a food forest and what’s planted, more can be yielded in the same square footage of space as an annual garden.
HOW MUCH WILL AN INSTALLATION COST?
An average backyard permaculture installation costs about the same as conventional landscaping. We can grow a lot of food for $10K.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET FOOD?
Food forests are forever. Perennial plants can take between 2 and 5 years typically, however, we also plant annual vegetables for your short-term food supply.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS?
You first share details with us about your space, how much you want to be designed, and what you want out of your food forest. Your designer will gather the information they need and use Google Earth and other tools to assess your property and create the food forest design of your dreams.
DO YOU PROVIDE INSTALLATION SERVICES?
Yes. We work with our network of local food forest installers, in locations all across the country and globally, to ensure your designed food forest is installed professionally and to the highest standards. If you are in a remote area, or an area that we do not yet serve, we will do our best to travel to you.
WHERE CAN YOU DESIGN AND INSTALL A FOOD FOREST?
Since our launch on Earth Day 2021, we have designed food forests for customers in 40 states and 15 countries, including resorts in Thailand, large farms in Africa, and single-family residences from Poland to Mexico and all around the United States. Our professional food forest designers can design in any location around the world.
I DON’T KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT GARDENING. HOW CAN I MAINTAIN MY FOOD FOREST?
Our food forest designs are low-maintenance and, over time, self-sustaining like a natural forest would be. We will create a design that suits your lifestyle and provide any necessary care instructions, support, and training. The best way to maintain is to observe and interact with joy. #FoodFreedom
