BUILDING COMMUNITY & FOOD SECURITY

These demonstration sites are volunteer-planted and stewarded, connecting landless community members who are passionate about regenerative agriculture and permaculture with homeowners who don’t value monoculture lawn spaces. We secure these donated spaces for 5 year-minimum periods, allowing the maturation and development of thriving food-bearing ecosystems with the goal of donating large amounts of produce to nearby free fridges and mutual aid food banks.

In 2024, we will be planting 7 more food forests in Cully, Brentwood-Darlington, and Montavilla.

CRYSTAL SPRINGS FOOD FOREST

This is the first Food Forest of ours in deep SE Portland. This 1300sq ft design uses principles of the forest garden design. Planting will begin in April 2024.
