What Is a Food Forest, and Why You’ll Never Garden the Same Way Again

At the Church of Nature & Magical Food Forest, we don’t just grow food — we grow ecosystems. A food forest is a regenerative way of growing where every plant has a purpose, every layer works together, and nature leads the way.

Instead of tilling rows or spraying chemicals, we plant in layers: tall fruit trees, berry bushes, medicinal herbs, root vegetables, and ground covers — all harmonizing like a forest orchestra. This method mimics how nature grows in the wild and brings the land back to life.

Here on our farm, our food forest includes:

  • Elderberry bushes for immunity
  • Comfrey to nourish the soil and heal the body
  • Wild garlic and chamomile for natural pest control and calming teas
  • And a canopy of mulberry and fig trees to feed and shade the garden below

The magic? It gets better every year without taking more from us. It’s low-maintenance, deeply abundant, and sacred. Once you plant a food forest, you don’t just grow food — you grow freedom.
