Your food forest, at home
We design your food forest through a permaculture and ecological design process — from your vision to the first harvests.
Every food forest is unique: it grows from your vision, your land, and the life already there.
We support you at every step to make informed decisions, from the first sketch through the years that follow planting — the most decisive period.
From your vision to the harvest
Your vision
We start from your wishes, your lifestyle and your goals: feeding your family, welcoming biodiversity, creating a place to live.
Site analysis
Soil, water, sun exposure, wind, what's already there: we read the landscape to work with it, not against it.
Sketches
First design intentions, zones and moods — we lock in the overall structure together.
Detailed plans
Precise layout, plant palette by layer, and a realistic phasing plan for implementation.
Preparation & planting
Soil preparation and planting on site — often as a participatory planting day with the Heroes.
Co-management (5 years)
We follow your food forest's progress through the first 5 years, the most crucial period.

Three paths to your design
Every food forest starts with a solid design — and there are several ways to get one, depending on your budget and how much energy you want to put in.
Tailored design
Our collective designs your food forest from A to Z and supports you through co-management for the first 5 years — the offer described on this page.
