Our FIRST EVER school food forest design
Check out our first ever school food forest design we had the pleasure of working on for the Creative Inspiration Journey School in St. Cloud, Florida.
The details:
The dream for the space: this space was designed with two separate areas in mind; a welcome area in front of the school as well as another area near the existing animals the school already had on site, with an emphasis on creating an educational space to teach and demonstrate perennial growing systems to its students.
Total design area: about 6000sq ft (equivalent to our “Family Food Forest” Design).
Designed by: Ian Scott and Brandon Moncrief
Installers: Cameron James, Ryley Morse, Henrique Ribiero, and Pablo Zambrano
A big THANK YOU goes out to Foresters Financial for their generous donation in helping make this project happen 😍as well as to all the volunteers who showed up to help.
Now who wouldn’t want their kids to attend a school like this that places such a huge emphasis on learning how to care for animals and grow your own food?!

Food forest designs are created to mimic the structure and function of a natural forest ecosystem, with the goal of producing a diverse range of edible and useful plants.

Benefits of working with a Food Forest Abundance designer:
They have expertise in plant selection: An expert can help you choose the right plants for your specific location, climate, and soil conditions.

They have the knowledge of ecosystem functions: An expert can help you design your food forest in a way that mimics the structure and function of a natural forest ecosystem. This can help create a more diverse, resilient, and productive food forest.
They are experienced with food forest design and implementation: An expert can help you avoid common pitfalls and mistakes when designing and implementing your food forest. They can also help you develop a plan for maintenance and management, which is important for the long-term success of your food forest.

How To Properly Prepare Grains & Legumes
With the western diet being so focused on grain-based foods in the modern era, the increase in disease has exponentially risen as well.
Chronic diseases such as eczema, allergies, diabetes, and other auto-immune diseases are included.
While well-meaning, the focus on whole grains over refined grains is just not enough.
Traditionally as a species we never ate these foods in the quantities consumed today, nor were they prepared how they are prepared today.
In the past when we consumed much less grains and legumes, we would take the proper steps to prepare it including soaking or fermenting.
Sourdough was the common bread before the introduction of commercial yeast.
Even corn was fermented to make tortillas in earlier times.
Some Asian cultures fermented rice as well in their ethnic dishes.
Science has shown us that if we soak our grains or legumes for a minimum 7 hours in water, with a small amount of cider vinegar, or lemon juice, that we neutralize the phytic acid.
Here are some ways you can start soaking your grains and legumes.

Is the price of food starting to worry you?
If you’ve been keeping your eye on the ever rising cost of gas and food, then you know how pricey a trip to the grocery store can be 👀
The other day we saw a story from Nunavut where a bag of frozen chicken strips was 60$! While the cost of anything in remote areas is always more expensive, this is a reality of being reliant on the mainstream food system.
There’s an old saying that goes, “if you want it done right, then do it yourself”, and this couldn’t be any truer when it comes to growing your own food. Growing your own food not only ensures that you are getting the healthiest and freshest produce, it also saves you money by not making frequent trips to the grocery store.
If you’ve been curious about starting to grow your own food but aren’t sure where to start, our food forest consultations are a great starting point.
Whether you’re working with a small space, all the way up to a homestead, our consultations are designed for you to ask all the questions needed in order to start growing your own food.
