Jude, welcome to permies! I am interested. What is your plan? I have 10 forested acres that I am slowly working on so I am always looking to see what others are doing.

Hi Miles,thanks! I was hoping to host a weekend workshop here with Shantree and Lorenna Kacera from the Living Centre in London Ontario but we do not have enough people(we need at least ten)so I think they are going to cancel it.It's sad because it would have been great and I was going to hire a professional vegan chef.I have no idea how to strt myself so not sure what my plan is,LOL!

Cheers to you, Jude! The thread title caught my eye. Good luck and welcome!

In Michigan USA here, zones 4/5, doing edible forest gardening

Hi Jude! It's Heidi! Just replying to this so I can follow any replies. I hope you find someone who can help out. Still really want to do this! I have a friend in my herbalism school who runs a permaculture farm with her partner near where I live in Vermont. I'll ask her if she has any ideas. I'm also meeting with another friend Thurs to talk about his own plans to start an edible forest garden pretty close to me so I'll talk to him about this too. Best of luck!

Hey Jude. I'm in Toronto, myself, but I'm looking for property now, probably in the area of Kawartha Lakes. If you are leaving your shade trees, you will need to work with shade in mind. I would suggest you look at mulberry and currant guilds, and forest guilds that like shade.
