Webinar: The Best Perennial Crops for Northern Food Forests

Using his three priorities for selecting perennial plants and crops: productivity, ease of cultivation, and palatability, Ben Caesar will highlight fundamental features in a properly designed and maintained food forest – from crops, nut trees, fruit trees to berry bushes, perennial vegetables and salad greens. He will cover cultivation details, site location, sun/shade preferences, and how to use the produce in the kitchen.

These perennials will not only provide healthy, organic food without much work, but also help you cultivate a deep relationship with the land that resides just outside the kitchen door.
