This community is all about learning to live off your land and to be as self sufficient as possible when it comes to plant based food. I will share what I know about growing your own food forest, having pollinator gardens filled with useful herbs, growing a vegetable garden, and foraging. I will also include some ways to preserve the foods that you grow, living in the north makes this a required skill. I have over 20 years experience both from personal experiences as well as from my work. I am an ecologist who has also taught students about the environment for many years. I have my masters of science in environmental practices and I strive to make our world more sustainable and to protect our food systems.
