The Food Forest Starter Bundle: What’s in the Bundle?

Through my year of growing and foraging 100% of my food and 5+ years of visiting with dozens of gardeners and permaculturists across the state of Florida, I have created a grouping of the 30 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!

Many of you are requesting a bundle outside of the Florida region.
It is very much a possibility that we create a bundle for regions with winter including the midwest, northeast, middle Atlantic and possibly other regions in 2024 or 2025. If you'd like a notification if we create a bundle, please fill out the form on the Food Forest Starter Bundle Website where it says "Located outside of zones 8-11 and interested in a bundle?

[@anaveragemuppet]

Is there any chance these would be available for England someday?

[@TylerLukey]

I have grown and own all of these plants in my food forest and can say you did an absolutely amazing job of picking the best things to grow. You are such a great person to even think about doing this. This will save someone years of time, I wish I had this resource starting years ago! Keep up the great, inspirational work! Can't wait for others to find abundance and the joy of growing EASY things! People, these things are hard to kill- if you have a "brown thumb" I can tell you that this is the best way to get into gardening.

[@Robin.Greenfield]

Thank you for the feedback Tyler! I'm elated to be on this journey of breaking free from the grocery store and growing our own food!

[@-whackd]

This is the most brilliant idea, and its made so actionable! What I love about Rob is that he acts on and spreads his good values. He is a modern Johnny Appleseed.

[@Criterium1991man]

😊

[@EugeneYus]

What a wonderful idea. Do you have plans in the future to put together bundles for different growing zones?

@@Robin.Greenfield thank you Robin!

[@Myrddencodeweaver]

I'm in the process of planting my own food forrest in the Tampa area. This knowledge and gathering of plants is priceless as it saves me countless hours of researching! This is the most helpful thing you could have thought of to help get people started. Thank you!

[@Robin.Greenfield]

I am so glad to hear that. Thank you so much for sharing this with me!

[@everydayanimalswithrainfor1315]

Wow! That is a hell of a package!

[@marcventry8100]

Thank you for everything you’ve been doing. I’ve not only been sharing your videos with my local community but I’ve given various seeds peas, beans, greens, molokhia and elderberry, turmeric, ginger, elephant garlic, sugar cane, and more. Love to all.

[@PhoenixArk123]

Absolutely wonderful project, thank you for inspiring me.

[@thewiseturtle]

For those not in Florida, you might be able to get free cuttings and seeds and such from a local seed swap event, or even a seed library (at a book library, or elsewhere). In Maine, for example, MOFGA has an annual seed and scion swap in the spring (or late winter?) that has a vast abundance of free plants for the local area. There are also some libraries that give out seeds in the spring (Waterville is one I know of currently). If you don't have a local seed swap or library, consider organizing one!

[@01splitpea]

We're in process of moving. As soon as we're settled, I'll place my order.

[@bdhanes]

❤ Love it. ❤ Awesome work y'all are doing. ❤

[@raqueldelorbe5277]

This is an excellent resource for all of us. Thanks. I love the opportunity we have to share some cuttings and plants with others. Thanks for the motivation.

[@TheBanjoman]

Robin inspired me to grow food 5 years ago in Orlando

[@maritzamartinez3888]

I read your article on veganism and why are you down longer a vegan. I found it very informative and thought-provoking. My struggles to change the way I live and eat I do to the fact that I had cancer two years ago. My health is very important. My desire is to learn how to grow my own food and raise my own animals. I see the animals as a help in the fertility of the land. They also provide direct nutrition. I believe you were right everything must be down in balance. I will be buying a bundle so that I can start a garden in my backyard. I have followed your channel for years and I’m fascinated by what you’ve accomplished.

[@rosemoore473]

Well done beautiful you are amazing thank you so much 🤗🤗❤️❤️🇮🇪☘️

[@01splitpea]

Very groovy, Robert Greene! Thank you!

[@vampsprite69]

this is amazing!!! i hope many people in florida take this opportunity thankfully and i hope many people throughout all of turtle island gather specified native food forest starter kits for every biome in this beautiful place. we must revive these food forests that were lovingly cultivated over thousands of years by many different peoples and keep their legacies strong.

[@AnMarie711]

Would love to see a bundle for the pacific northwest area. What a wonderful thing you have done here.

[@chosenvideos0072]

Love this 😊

[@gardenweedsgrower]

Great work. And the best part is we don’t have to move off grid or to rural to live a natural life. I’ve thought about doing something like this for my neighborhood because like most communities we need to plant more shade trees and convert our wasteful lawns and backyards to permaculture food forest gardens landscapes with perennial drought and heat tolerant plants to provide shade and food year long for our family, friends and neighbors.

[@cziegle3794]

Yay top 7 comments and top 21 likes. Love this channel. Best to you and your family.

Would love a Southern California bundle in the future!

Thank you for creating and sharing these videos. You are so inspirational to many as well as myself. Thanks for what you do.

[@tikoy1955]

Good video. This is a great idea for Florida. I sure do admire what you are doing for our world, land and us.

[@experiencelife7206]

Working on this in central fl. Thank you for all the knowledge you are sharing. ❤

[@KEENDARLING]

Wow - so amazing def want this bundle I have some of these plants but plan to share with my family who also garden and desire food security

[@DeLong740]

What a great idea. I’ve been spending lots of money the last few years trying to get what I need growing.

[@pascalxus]

Hi Rob. I think what you're doing is Awesome! If you put together another package, i have some ideas to help people get through the winter. As you know, the scarcest months for harvests are Dec - April. to get through this period, i would suggest the following three staples: Potatoes, Winter Squash, and Fava Beans. the 3 of those can all be stored for long periods of times and so are ideal. Anyways, that's what I'm growing next year!

[@chichi9851]

I so wish you had a New England bundle!

[@jessicaheger1880]

While it's true that some people call that plant Mexican sunflower, it is wrong. Mexican sunflowers are red-orange, while Bolivian sunflowers are bright yellow, fragrant, and grow much taller.

[@ajobimlover]

THANK-YOU for this!!! Brilliant!

[@Dheeidjdndbd]

What an incredible thing! Thank you for creating these resources.

[@marlenemcmillan8891]

Excellent ideas

[@theyoungforager]

Love from the UK! You inspired me to start growing food. I even started growing lettuce and spinach on my windowsill! Also do you edit your own videos or does somebody else edit them?

[@sarahpalm7661]

Love this!!! Over the last year I've started growing 95% of these plants. Do you know how septic tanks fare with the toilet paper plant used? Been watching for several years and think what you are doing is amazing, I hope to inspire people with my gardening channel like you have inspired me. I just started, but gardening has always been a passion of mine. Hope to meet you one day and talk plants.

[@bonilla2022]

Nokomis, Florida here, VERY interested. 😎

[@deborahvalentine2279]

This is genius.

[@off-gridsimplyhappyrodriguez]

I'm desperate for this,but in middle Georgia 😢

[@MarjNap]

I want to thank you for all the work and knowledge sharing you have provided on Florida gardening. The plants that thrive in Florida are very different from the rest of the country making normal gardening books and advice with limited usefulness here. I have filled out the Food Forest Starter Bundle, but it is on the waitlist. Do I wait to send my donation check when it's ready or send it now?

[@pushweightfishing2341]

What's up Rob I have recently found your channel and I live in orlando too close to downtown and tryed to grow a couple things to see if I could and have really been enjoying it and when I found your channel I just couldn't stop Benj watching all the vids you put out still got I think 5 more to go but I am really Enjoying all the information that you are giving out and I hope one day I can get to a point where I can grow all my fruits and vegetables. I'm really nervous about trying to grow more things for a fall harvest but I'm starting to think I can make it work with the info you and a couple more youtubers that I have been watching. Do you have any suggestions on what Varieties would be good for a newbie trying to go in orlando thanks

[@madeleinejourdan3745]

What a brilliant idea. How do we access it in South Africa or links to likeminded groups

[@user_mokttfat]

good

[@silvergurl6762]

Hey there! I’m on the waitlist. Any idea when it will be available? Thank you

[@estherimmer5766]

Do you send the bundle also to Israel? Can you also teach were the plants are growin? In shade, hlf shade or full sun? Half shade how many hours sun?

[@sek4110]

I am in Punta Gorda Florida and want to order the starter bundle. I saw there is a waiting list now if I read your site correctly. Any idea how long the waiting time would be to receive the bundle?

[@errol5603]

Also my soil is alkaline clay

[@wifigrannyl.1354]

QUESTION: Do you think this bundle would grow well in SE Texas. I think our climates are similar. Thanks

what is the cost of the bundle? or suggested donation?

[@VanPham-sp5fz]

❤🎉😮

[@errol5603]

I like your video and would buy the forest bundle, but I live in East Texas Zone 8a. So I think that many of your plants may not grow here. What do you think? Also my soil is alkaline clay.

[@luisaaldrete5840]

hello would l be able to plant in south texas.

[@fairywar]

Oh why only for US? 😢 we want food freedom in Europe as well and in most Mediterranean countries our climate is like Florida

[@Robin.Greenfield]

We are focused on what we have experience with and that is Florida. Also shipping regulations internationally are prohibitive, as well as the plants ability to be in a box that long.

[@gordonspears6320]

Mediterranean climate is very different from Florida. Mediterranean climate features hot dry summers / mild wet winters. This is much like California, but very unlike Florida which has hot humid rainy summers / mild dry winters.

[@mitalenfai]

yes I Amen. 🌱🟢
