By Food Forest Abundance
Food Forest Abundance was created by Jim Gale. Jim is featured in holistic podcasts, literature and more. Jim is one of permaculture pioneers who is making huge impacts in creating true freedom. Galt’s Landing is Jim’s off-grid, sustainable, self-reliant, food, water and energy producing, permaculture designed homestead. You can find photos and videos of them online. As a Food Forest Abundance Affiliate, I help expand the mission and vision for food to be accessible for everyone- for free.
The Mission
To build a free, healthy, and abundant society for
generations to come.
The Vision
Food forests growing in every community and in every yard.
The Problems
We are removed from our food production creating reliance on larger systems and
corporations we have no control over and who do not have our best interests in mind.
The Solutions
Perennial Permaculture Food Forests! Empower People to Grow Their Own Food.
Greater food security & self-reliance
Growing food locally and connecting to others
who do too creates greater self-reliance.
Healthier & higher quality food
People can control the quality and type of the
food they consume and eat it fresh. No poisons.
Sustainable, regenerative, decentralized
Localized, perennial food systems keep on giving
and produce useful waste. Working with Nature
Diverse ecosystems & healthier planet
Creating healthier environments for humans,
plants, and animals.
Less impacts from diseases of civilization
Growing a food forest means healthier food and a
stress-reducing environment.
It All Starts With Design
Your Starter, Family, Family+Friends, Community or Custom sized Food Forest Landscape Design will be designed with consideration of your climate, planting zone, topography, space, as well as to the beauty, functionality, and abundance you wish to have. The pricing is based on the desired size of your food forest design space (not your total lot size).
Once you’ve purchased your Food Forest Landscape Design, one of our certified permaculture designers will reach out to you to start the design process.
FFA is partnered with Evan Folds of BeAgriculture to provide you with professional soil fertility services. Evan will provide you with an Ecosystem Report, which contains Pro Tips, your custom Soil Test Solutions RX, a product audit and an ecosystem plan that suggests next steps for putting the plan into action. This program will improve your understanding of soil fertility and will dramatically help with setting up your food forest to thrive. The FFA Fertility Program includes a 30-minute onboarding and a 30-minute consultation call with Evan. Soil samples are an additional discounted rate of $25 + shipping. This amount is paid directly to Logan Labs.

Food Forests Everywhere = Freedom
Control money and you control the world; control energy and you control the whole continents; control the oil and you control nations; control food supply and you control the people. //// Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls oil control the nations; who controls the energy can control the whole continents; who controls money can control the world.
