Here is what you need to know about the movement. 🌿🍏

The Smith Ave Community Food Forest and Annual Garden in St. Paul, Minnesota, shows how easy it can be to grow food in our neighborhoods, even on a relatively small plot of land.

By combining perennial food-producing plants with an annual vegetable garden, this community space provides fresh food, supports pollinators, improves the landscape, and demonstrates what is possible when public and neighborhood land is put into productive service.

We do not need hundreds of acres to strengthen local food security. Small plots in parks, neighborhoods, schools, apartment communities, churches, vacant lots, and other shared spaces can produce healthy food while bringing people together.

Imagine community food forests and gardens like this throughout St. Paul and across Minnesota.

We can grow food where people live.
We can transform underused land.
We can strengthen our neighborhoods.
We can create healthier and more resilient communities.

This is how simple local food production can be.

This is how embarrassingly simple it can be to grow food where people live.

At the Smith Avenue Bridge Scenic Overlook in St. Paul, Minnesota, a public food forest demonstrates how ordinary public spaces can become productive landscapes filled with edible plants, perennial crops, habitat, and community value.

Instead of maintaining land that provides little more than appearance, communities can grow healthy food, support pollinators, improve soil, manage water naturally, and help residents reconnect with where their food comes from.

Imagine food forests growing in parks, schools, neighborhoods, apartment communities, government properties, and other underused spaces throughout Minnesota. The solutions to many of our most complicated problems may be far simpler than we think.

We can grow food locally.
We can create abundance.
We can strengthen our communities.
We can build a healthier and more resilient Minnesota.

What if Minnesota could improve food security, public health, local employment, neighborhood safety, and economic resilience through one practical strategy?

By transforming underused land into community gardens, food forests, orchards, and regenerative growing spaces, we can produce healthier food, support local farms and businesses, and build stronger, more self-reliant communities.

Minnesota has the resources. Now we need the cooperation and political will to put them to work.

If farmers only listened to this intelligent pioneer, our soil and our health would not be in such terrible decline.

J. Russell Smith helped pioneer the modern idea of perennial agriculture by showing how productive trees could protect soil, reduce erosion, and support more resilient farms.

In his influential book, *Tree Crops: A Permanent Agriculture*, Smith challenged annual monocrop farming and promoted layered systems that combined trees, crops, pasture, and livestock.

Find his book on Amazon. https://amzn.to/3QZGmYG

His work helped shape modern agroforestry, silvopasture, regenerative agriculture, permaculture, and food forest design.

Read the full article to learn why his message still matters today: farming should fit the land.
