The industrial food system is an experiment that is failing our health, our ecosystems, and our sense of agency. Many people sense this, but don’t know where to start, or how to commit in a way that lasts.A practical, place-based training designed to help you establish a resilient, abundant syntropic food forest — whether you’re starting from grass or working with an existing orchard or food forest. It’s structured to give you the principles, timing, and plant material needed for late-winter / early-spring installation, without overwhelm or guesswork.If you want to eat from a living system, reduce dependence on industrial inputs, and grow something that can outlast you, you’re in the right place.

What the Trainings Offer

The training series is designed to meet you where you are — and get you ready to act.You’ll learn how to design, establish, and manage a syntropic food forest that evolves quickly, produces abundance, and strengthens the land rather than depleting it. Whether you’re starting from grass or retrofitting an existing system, the underlying principles and practices remain the same.

The sessions are timed to align with late winter and early spring, giving you both the understanding and the plant material needed to move from intention to installation. This isn’t theory divorced from life. The training is grounded in a decision-making framework called The Living Compass, which helps ensure your commitment to a food forest is integrated with the realities of your time, energy, finances, and family — so it doesn’t become another “good idea” that fades.The format is practical, relational, and tested.

Seven events held between April and October 2025 resulted in two new food forest installations, alongside a growing local network of people learning and supporting one another. This year will see 4 new food forest installations, across multiple training days.
