Polyculture Polytunnel PACKED With Food - Winter Self-Sufficiency

Growing beautiful fresh healthy food to nourish ourselves is our main focus at Freedom Forest and we grow ALL YEAR ROUND. Growing certain crops in polytunnels extends the possibilities of what we can grow in our temperate climate here in the UK and Winter salads is something I now really look forward to. Winter feels like the time our bodies need nutritious goodness the most and eating fresh greens, herbs and crispy salads all through Winter is a real treat. Looking after our soil to grow healthy strong plants is just as important as (and equates to) looking after ourselves and this year I have made a conscious effort to create more diversity in our polytunnels, in turn creating the best possible environment in our soil and for soil life. Polyculture is all about growing multiple plant species together, creating a miniature ecosystem that can support itself. In a polytunnel, this concept is brought to life by combining various crops, we mimic natural biodiversity, which strengthens the health of our plants AND maximises space. We are Dan & Laurie and our land is called Freedom Forest - Its 3 acres in the South of England where we are creating an edible oasis and trying to provide as much for ourselves, from our land as possible, where we are completely off grid. Our food growing journey began together in 2017 when we created our first No dig lasagne bed. Every year we grow more and more and now we are currently around 60-70% self sufficient in our food needs. Our style and methods are inspired by permaculture and we try to be thoughtful about how and what we do, to be as gentle on the planet as possible. In our videos you can follow our journey as we share our experiences and what we get up to at Freedom Forest. Our polytunnels provide us prime growing space for heat loving and slightly tropical edibles and we like to pack in as much as possible, so we create layers, much like in our food forest. This tour video shows how much everything has grown and come on since our tour 5 week before, when the plants had not long been in the ground.
