Below is a list of the plants in the Food Forest, started in the summer of 2020, still young but should be in full production in the near future. The Ocala Food Forest is in the middle of two zones, 8b & 9a. If you live in the area of Ocala Florida then these should be the plants to think about when creating your own food forest. The plants that have failed after the long cold spell we had in early 2022 & the later cold spell in December of 2022 have been removed from the list. Some plants were protected with sheets and hopefully we will not have an issue like that again, but we may.
