Winter Food Forest Accelerator
We’ve seen the same mistakes being repeated by eager food foresters time and again.
Luckily, we’ve also seen what really works!
Work with us to get a focused, practical food forest plan for your garden, before planting season kicks off. It will cost you less than the materials and trees it takes to grow a food forest, and it will save you in the long run.
Clear layout, smart species selection, and a simple 3-year roadmap — delivered within one powerful week.

“I wish I knew this five years ago!”
I spent so much energy, money and time on my garden until I learnt about sustainable farming from Dan. I am now very peaceful with the land we have got and am able to produce safe and healthy food for my family. It is so fulfilling for my soul to know that what I am doing is good for the earth too.

“Thank you for this course!”
The instructor is very personable and thorough, I really enjoyed the instructions, examples, and seeing the demonstrations throughout the course. Great job! I highly recommend this course to others who are looking for a program that offers everything you need to start or improve a healthy and sustainable garden.

“Excellent consulting.”
Dan has a wonderful way of carefully assessing the site and the expectations of a garden and helping to optimise what can be achieved. His body of knowledge is extensive and his manner of presenting it is easy and responsive.

Food Forest Accelerator
We’re currently taking on a small number of pre-winter clients who want to start or add to their food forest this planting season. In-person and online options available.
Why food forests?
- They capture carbon and water, attract wildlife, build soil, provide food, shade, privacy and trees for climbing.
- They produce more than they cost.
- Forests are often the most resilient ecosystem you can have in your garden.
- At a certain point, they start looking after themselves.
When it comes to creating food forests, we see people making the same classic mistakes time and again:
- Buy and plant fruit trees in year one.
- Dump compost into tree holes.
- Underestimate sectors like wind, water and your own time.
- Push forward with no long-term design or strategy.
- Plant too few legumes and support species.
If you want to do it the right way from day one and avoid these and other mistakes, this consult will put you on the right track.
Reach out today, for a free, no commitment, 10 minute discovery call — where we identify your needs, give you some tips, and find out if the Food Forest Accelerator is for you.
Maybe you’re already on the food foresting journey, and maybe you’ve already made some of these mistakes. Please reach out, so that we can help you get back on track, sooner rather than later.
