The Food Forest is being developed by Annemarie and Graham Brookman and their children Tom and Nikki, to demonstrate  how an ordinary family, with a typical Australian income can grow its own food and create a productive and diverse landscape.
We are committed to the sharing of information through our courses and field days and at this website you will find some of the technical  information that we have learned in 15 years of sustainable gardening, farming and building. 
Many people have helped us with skills and knowledge handed down from previous generations and others have come up with stunning new ideas rooted in a fusion of modern science and a commitment to sustainability. More than ten of these keen, optimistic people now teach with us in a team which harnesses University and research experience, practical hands-on skills and a passion for the future of our landscape and the Planet.
The empowerment of people in understanding and working with natural systems is the most exciting part of working at The Food Forest. 
We welcome information from other sources and we are keen to link sites with other information providers; feel free to link this site to yours or to suggest it as a research address for students.
