LOCATED IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA, THE FOOD FOREST COOPERATIVE IS A LOCALLY OPERATED SUSTAINABLE ENTERPRISE CREATED TO empower COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND challenge THE PATTERNS OF OUR FOOD SYSTEM THROUGH THE BLENDING OF ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC GOALS.
A food forest is a multi-layered, regenerative approach to growing food, including different varieties of fruit trees, herbs, and medicinal plants. The intent is for all plants to be edible or used to create value added products with a cultural and community driven focus. This food forest will be used to engage with the local community and offer educational opportunities around the value of culturally relevant, whole fruits and vegetables, medicine making, and learning about the many uses of edible/medicinal plants.
