trees and shrubs
hectares of food forest
The food forest will be laid-out on a 5.5 hectare parcel between annual biological pumpkins and potatoes. Per hectare some 1,700 trees and shrubs will be planted. Chestnuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, apples, apricots, cherries and gooseberries will not be lacking. It is to be expected that in five to seven years the first fruit, nuts, mushrooms and other goodies may be picked and gathered. A labyrinth will also be created and it will lead to an open air theatre in the middle of the food forest. Picking days and events for visitors will be organised here.
The food forest will be planted at Zonnegoed, a biodynamic farm in Flevoland.
In this project we work together with Agroforestry Foundation Netherlands (SVN) and Joost van Strien.
“Our food forest will harbour the growth of several thousand of trees, thus storing thousands of tonnes of CO2 into the bargain. So good for nature, climate and a beautiful package of wholesome, vegan food.”
— Joost van Strien, Zonnegoed initiator
