Our Story	The Family Garden has been in operation since 2007. Founded by Jordan Brown and his wife Diwa, the farm was initially located in Bell, Florida. In 2015 they relocated to east Gainesville, and bought the 20-acre parcel that we currently grow on. We grow all our fruits and vegetables using organic methods, selling both wholesale to local restaurants and businesses in North Florida, and direct to consumers at the Alachua County Farmers Market. The farm also runs a small CSA program.

Growing Practices

The Family Garden, or TFG, grows with dignity and respect for the land and the people who care for your food. The amazing thing about organic farming is that it doesn’t only benefit the farmer and the consumer, but also the the land and the people who tend to it. That’s why every season we strive to use the most sustainable and mindful practices possible. Not only does this produce the best food, but it also strengthens our connection to the land and enriches our lives. We’re committed to demonstrating the value of this connection, and the joy that it can bring to the entire community!

C’s Food Forest

Avocado Tree, Food Forest, nursery, Orange Tree, Unexpected Fruit Tree

Within a few miles of here is a food forest stewarded by Craig, AKA Florida Fruit Geek.

The food forest was an orange orchard, comprised of grafted trees. The base of the trees were sour oranges, so when a hard frost killed back the grafted tops, the sour orange base started shoots.

Craig’s sour oranges are absolutely electric. For cautious eaters, I recommend them to be used as a salad dressing.

Craig runs a nursery from which you can order online.

Craig’s food forest includes:

Oranges
Clementines
Mulberries
Bananas
Loquats
Papayas
Avocados
Kale
& much more (including a Jackfruit!)

Petition: EcoCamping

EcoCamping, EcoProposal, GrowHere, LegalizeMe, petition, Proposal

“EcoCamping” is living pro-generatively with Earth: residing outdoors and in temporary or earthen constructions, remediating soil, and sowing seeds of edible & functional plants.

By sanctioning EcoCamping, we gain: a life-supporting climate, the regeneration of our pollinator populations, development of new polycultural crops, and free local produce.

In collaboration with city governments, academic institutions and citizens, developing an EcoCamper program increases the value of our land by fostering healthy, beautiful and productive living environments.

GPT-3: Write a compelling case for starting vertical gardens on buildings in downtown San Francisco.

As an iconic city known for its unique architecture and innovation, San Francisco has the opportunity to lead the way in sustainable urban agriculture by implementing vertical gardens on buildings in the downtown area.

Here are some of the benefits that starting vertical gardens on buildings in downtown San Francisco could provide:

Increased Green Space: By utilizing the vertical space on buildings, we can create more green space in the city without sacrificing valuable land. This can help to reduce the urban heat island effect, which occurs when cities trap heat, making them warmer than surrounding rural areas.
Improved Air Quality: Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, which can help to improve air quality in the city. This is especially important in downtown areas where there is a high concentration of traffic and pollution.
Enhanced Aesthetics: Vertical gardens can enhance the beauty of buildings and create a more visually appealing cityscape. This can improve the overall quality of life for residents and visitors to the city.
Increased Food Production: Vertical gardens can be used to grow a variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs, providing a source of fresh produce for residents and reducing the carbon footprint associated with transporting food from rural areas.
Economic Benefits: By creating vertical gardens on buildings, we can transform unused or underutilized space into a source of revenue. Restaurants, hotels, and other businesses can use the fresh produce grown on-site, and surplus food can be sold at local farmers’ markets.
Educational Opportunities: Vertical gardens can be used to teach the community about sustainable agriculture, nutrition, and the benefits of green space in the city. Schools and community organizations can use the gardens for educational purposes, promoting healthy eating and environmental awareness.

In conclusion, starting vertical gardens on buildings in downtown San Francisco would provide a variety of benefits for the community, including increased green space, improved air quality, enhanced aesthetics, increased food production, economic benefits, and educational opportunities. By utilizing innovative and sustainable solutions like vertical gardens, we can create a more livable, healthy, and sustainable city for all.

I am a fruitarian, a style of life where one handles a lot of seeds.

I would like more fruit trees in the world.

I plant the seeds in pots of mixed biochar soils and chart them on PlantDiary.

I give the rest away, with biochar soil, to provide others with fruit trees.

I believe everyone should have fruit trees.

GPT-3: Write a compelling case for starting a food forest at Dolores Park in San Francisco.

Dolores Park is an iconic public space in San Francisco that draws locals and tourists alike to enjoy its stunning views, open green spaces, and community events. While the park is already a beautiful place, it has the potential to become even more valuable to the community by establishing a food forest.

A food forest is a type of garden that mimics the structure and function of a natural forest ecosystem but is composed of edible plants. This would provide a unique opportunity to create an immersive, educational experience for park visitors, showcasing how food can be grown sustainably and organically within an urban environment.

Here are some of the benefits that establishing a food forest at Dolores Park could provide:

Increased Food Security: As the world’s population grows and climate change continues to disrupt traditional agricultural practices, establishing a food forest can help to build resilience and food security in the community. By growing a variety of fruits, vegetables, and nuts, a food forest can help to diversify the food supply and provide a sustainable source of fresh produce for the local community.
Educational Opportunity: A food forest would provide an excellent opportunity for the community to learn about sustainable food systems and the benefits of locally grown food. The park could offer educational tours, workshops, and classes, providing visitors with the knowledge and skills needed to start their own food gardens.
Improved Biodiversity: Food forests are designed to mimic natural ecosystems, which can increase biodiversity in the park. This would create habitat for wildlife and support the growth of native plant species, providing environmental benefits to the community.
Community Building: A food forest would provide a space for the community to come together and work towards a common goal. Volunteers could help with planting, maintenance, and harvesting, fostering a sense of community and ownership over the park.
Health Benefits: Access to fresh produce is essential for maintaining a healthy diet, and a food forest would provide an opportunity for the local community to access free, nutritious food. This would be especially important for low-income families and those living in food deserts.

In conclusion, establishing a food forest at Dolores Park would provide a unique opportunity to create a sustainable, educational, and community-building experience for the local community. By leveraging the power of nature and sustainable food systems, we can improve food security, increase biodiversity, and promote health and well-being in San Francisco.

Blue Heron Farms

certified organic, farm, organic, source

From their website:

“Blue Heron Farms is a 20-acre certified organic farm operating in a small sheltered valley in Corralitos, California, that is passionate about growing a diverse array of high quality vegetables and flowers.

Blue Heron was started in 1985 by Dennis Tamura after studying gardening with Alan Chadwick in the 1970s and running the U.C. Santa Cruz Farm & Garden Apprenticeship Program for several years. Now operated by him and his wife Lori Perry, Blue Heron is driven by the hard work of a wonderful group of workers from Jalisco and Michoacan, Mexico, a passionate flower crew under the leadership of long-time field and market worker Kelly Brown, as well as a dedicated market staff.

The farm is additionally blessed with a cool climate, soft soil, and surrounding live oaks and habitat that is home to deer, bobcats, and coyotes. Although the work is demanding, we at Blue Heron are fortunate to be farming on the Central Coast, where people value organics and we can sell directly to loyal farmers market customers, chefs, grocery stores, florists and wedding couples.”
