Prepper Food Forest: 35 Forever Plants
Prepper Food Forest & Perennials
A Food Forest or forest gardening is a low-maintenance, sustainable, plant-based food production system based on woodland ecosystems, incorporating perennial vegetables, fruits, nuts, and herbs.
For a prepper, a food forest can augment ones primary stored food supply located at ones bug out location or residence. It is advantageous to have planted a food forest before a collapse of society. If the plants are spaced out far enough, they can blend in with natural environment for camouflage factor.
A perennial is a plant that comes back year after year. This differentiates it from annuals, which must be planted each year, and biennials, which only live for two years. Just plant your garden or orchard once, and your plantings should last for several years, maybe even several decades.
While all plants listed below are perennials, they may not grow perennially in all locations. In your local climate, plants that come back year after year may not be able to survive over a more extreme winter or summer. Research and check for compatibility with your region before you buy anything by referring to the USDA hardiness zones listed on the seed or plant's label.
