30+ Survival Foods to Grow to Live on Your Garden (in Florida)

Through my year of growing and foraging 100% of my food and 5+ years of visiting and meeting with dozens of gardeners and permaculturalists across the state of Florida, I have created a grouping of 30 of the easiest and most abundant foods to grow in Florida.
This grouping of plants is ideal for laying the foundation for a food forest or creating The Survival Garden. We’re talking about growing a lot of food, with the least work, so you can truly break free from the grocery store!

Our mission is to assist people in attaining Food Freedom - breaking free from the global, industrial food system and growing their own food! We do this by providing the Food Forest Starter Bundle on a suggested donation basis. This bundle includes 30 of the easiest to grow, most productive foods in Florida.
