Hello!
I've been avidly reading and researching and getting ready to plant a food forest (starting with a tree guild) and put in a year round greenhouse.  We bought some property near Silverton/Molalla in Oregon.  I would love to visit some already-thriving food forests in the area if possible!  I'm willing to pitch in with labor or money for the privelge.  Unfortunately I am getting started on this journey later in life, with kids and a job, so I'm unable to take advantage of some of the marvelous internship opportunities out there, but I sure would love to see and learn what I can all the same.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  TIA!

Following!

I myself am about to embark on this same journey up in cowlitz county Washington. Just about to close on our new house on 2 acres. Would love to see some like minded forest gardens up out this way.

If you ever up Seattle way you would want to visit Beacon Hill's food forest https://beaconfoodforest.org/ it is one of the great urban food forest projects undertaken.

Not a food forest but if your down Eugene way be sure to stop by Maitreya Ecovillage.

Some of the people who lived at Arcosanti work for OSU (Oregon State University) doing permaculture,

https://experience.oregonstate.edu/feature-story/growing-food-osu

https://workspace.oregonstate.edu/course/Permaculture-Food-Forests



I would recommend checking out permaculture at OSU and that area.

Hi Shelley,
I'm very near to Silverton and also interested in food forests right now.  I'm just a beginner, 47 yo woman, but let me know if you want help with labor or any other way you might want to connect with another local learning permaculture!  You can text me at 541 588 2254 or reply here with a way for me to contact you.
Tracy
