Worth checking out, especially for those in the Eastern US: two sites with visions of community-supported perennial agriculture:
- Acornucopia
- Nutty Buddy Collective—In nut season 2018, they paid foragers for unprocessed nuts, which the collective then bulk-processed.
They're working towards more planting and use of resilient, low-maintenance nut trees such as oaks, walnuts, and chestnuts. Establishing and learning to utilize such staples is critical in a future of unreliable industrial agriculture, so read their sites, subscribe to their updates, get involved with their work, and/or take inspiration to encourage staple perennial polycultures wherever you are!
Warning: lots of silliness and puns throughout the pages. Nuts seem to encourage that for some reason.
