This past fall, we at Food Forest Abundance took part in a pretty amazing project…
 
We got to be part of the design as well as the installation at the Creative Inspiration Journey School in St. Cloud, Florida.
 
The main idea behind this design was to incorporate a welcome area for all guests and students, as well as an educational space to showcase perennial growing systems.
 
Come take a look at what we were able to accomplish at this school…
 
Some of the things planted were…
 
Avocados
Bananas
Blackberries
Blueberries
Lemon Grass
Different kinds of spinach
A wide variety of herbs
Pineapples
Yarrow
Turmeric
Sweet Potatoes
Sunflowers
…and SO many more plants.
70+ to be exact!
 
A big thank you to….

• Foresters Financial for their generous contribution in making this happen
• The school for believing in us and trusting us to get this done right, and for creating this amazing space for all your staff, students, and guests.
• The volunteers who showed up to help
 
We couldn’t have done it without everyone's support!

Eating a variety of vegetables is generally good for overall health, and there are some vegetables that may have specific benefits for brain health.

Here are 6 vegetables that are thought to have brain-boosting properties:

💚 Leafy greens: Leafy greens like spinach, kale, and broccoli are rich in nutrients like folate and antioxidants, which may help improve cognitive function and protect against age-related cognitive decline.

💚 Tomatoes: Tomatoes are a good source of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant.

💚 Bell peppers: Bell peppers are high in vitamin C, an antioxidant that may help protect against cognitive decline as well.

💚 Sweet potatoes: Sweet potatoes are high in beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is important for maintaining healthy brain function.

💚 Pumpkin seeds: Pumpkin seeds are high in zinc, a mineral that is important for cognitive function. Zinc helps with the formation of new brain cells and the synthesis of neurotransmitters.

💚 Beets: Beets are high in nitrates, which have been shown to improve blood flow to the brain and may help improve cognitive function.

Which ones will you be growing in your garden this year?

In this video Kevin showcases how he is growing black soldier fly larvae and using scraps from his compost to convert it into animal feed for the black soldier flies.

This allows them to grow, become high protein, high fat, and high calcium feed for his laying hens.

Kevin shows us how we organizes and sorts his seeds in the winter, when he has more time to do so. He classifies them in a fashion that will make the spring planting much easier.

We are in full ascension in 2023. It's time to raise our own frequencies, that is the way we can influence others when they see our light. In the new year, ask yourself the question when you are doing sometime, will this raise my frequency or not?

Kevin shows us seeds that he bought to prepare his garden for the spring. Now is the time to prepare for the spring, don't wait as they can be harder to get later on.

If you're tired of not knowing what goes into the food you buy at the grocery store, then growing your own food is the solution.

By taking control of your food production, you can be sure that you're eating fresh, healthy produce that hasn't been treated with chemicals or preservatives.

One of the main benefits of growing your own food is that you have complete control over the quality of what you eat.

Plus, you can be sure that your food is fresh, since you'll be picking it at the peak of ripeness.

For a limited time, we are offering 30 minute complimentary strategy sessions with one of our expert permaculture designers.
