The food forest is growing

Thank you everyone for supporting our food forest project. In the past month, we've planted over 50 trees, including banana, mango, papaya, and avocados. We're excited to see which varieties grow the best and to create our own recipes using the fruits and vegetables from our forest. Right now, we have three people working on the project full time, and we receive help from volunteers and the locals for larger projects like tree planting. When we all get together, the work day goes by quickly.

We are starting to build a lower garden using pineapple bushes and various flowering plants. We are looking to include varieties of aloe as well.

The first goal of the food forest is to regenerate a degraded pasture. Next, we will focus on providing food to the local community and nourishing the local economy. We are looking to provide food throughout the year and continue to increase diversity within the forest.
