Series: The Food Forest Solution

What if you could walk outside and choose between dozens of thriving food forest designs-each tailored to your climate, soil, and goals-without wasting years on trial and error?

Here's the truth:

- Growing your own food shouldn't feel like a gamble. Yet every trip to the store risks price hikes, recalls, or wilted greens.

- Even seasoned gardeners get stuck. Maybe you've started a food forest but hit a wall: Which plants work best together? How do you maximize yield without chaos?

- Most guides repeat the basics. They don't give you more-more designs, more options, more clarity.

The Food Forest Solution: Permaculture Designs For Every U.S. Zone Volume Two changes the game throughout its 600 pages.

Inside this 600-page book, you'll discover:

1. 10 brand-new food forest blueprints per USDA Zone (1-13):

2 canopy layer plants, 2 understory plants, 2 shrub plants, 2 groundcover plants, 2 herbaceous layer plants, 2 root layer plants, 2 vertical layer plants, and 2 fungi plants! Mix, match, or follow them verbatim.

2. Nearly 1000 plants researched and tested for survival: Think of it as a ""greatest hits"" list for every layer in your climate.

3. Advanced strategies like pest-resistant pairings, drought-proof layouts, and maximizing small spaces-so your garden adapts as you learn.

Why this volume is different:

- No paralysis. Stuck between two designs? This book gives you options, not overwhelm.

- No dead ends. Every plant is chosen to thrive in your zone-and complement its neighbors.

- No fluff. Just 600 pages of actionable food forest blueprints.

Whether you're expanding your existing food forest or starting fresh, The Food Forest Solution: Permaculture Designs For Every U.S. Zone Volume Two hands you the keys to abundance. The best part? Once these systems take root, they grow richer every year-with less work from you.

Your pantry doesn't have to depend on a broken food system. Grow your own.

Audra Haldane is an agricultural engineer and bestselling author revolutionizing modern homesteading. For over a decade, she's transformed barren Appalachian hillsides and Scotland's rain-drenched slopes into thriving, climate-resilient ecosystems-proving self-sufficiency is possible anywhere, whether you're on a 10-acre farm or a studio apartment balcony. Audra's actionable books, The Homestead Blueprint, Homesteading Mastery, and The Food Forest Solution, have empowered thousands to slash grocery bills, build drought-proof gardens, and turn ""dead"" land into income streams. Dubbed the ""Marie Kondo of homesteading"" by readers, she specializes in cutting through the fluff to deliver no-nonsense strategies for raising backyard chickens, designing permaculture food forests, and harnessing off-grid energy. When she's not teaching urban gardeners how to grow mangoes in Minnesota or coaching suburban moms to preserve 6 months of food, Audra travels the globe studying ancient sustainability practices-then translates them into bite-sized steps for modern life. Join 50,000+ readers who've traded takeout for homegrown salsa, HOA battles for stealth chicken coops, and helplessness for true independence. Follow Audra to start your self-sufficiency journey-no acreage, trust fund, or green thumb required.
