urban food forests

recently i was informed about this food forest being created in seattle, the city of my birth. it is an exciting step towards the vision many of us have of producing much of the urban population's food within the city. it may be the first public food forest in the country, but i found some projects in other U.S. cities that are similar.

oakland's planting justice is doing exciting work with food forests in addition to backyard and community vegetable gardens.

chicago's CROP is focusing on apple trees, but will be a community space where people can gather and share in the harvest.
