Creating an Edible Forest Garden

Dani Baker, co-owner of Cross Island Farms (Jefferson County), has developed one acre of her certified organic farm as a multi-functional edible forest garden, incorporating numerous permaculture principles and practices. She will take participants for a walk-through and introduction to 300+ perennial cultivars of fruits, nuts, berries, and other edibles. Attendees will taste fruits, flowers, greens, and herbs in season, and go home with a potted plant to add to their own edible garden.

Registration fees are $20/person or $30 for two or more attendees from the same farm/family. Private farm tours are available that morning; email organic@crossislandfarms.com or call 315-482-3663.

Pre-registration is available online at www.nofany.org/events/field-days or by calling Jill at the NOFA-NY office, (585) 271-1979 x512. Complete events are online here: www.nofany.org/events-news/events/nofa-ny-events.
