We work to fill Sioux Falls with edible plants.
1 in 8 individuals in Minnehaha County are food insecure, lacking quality filling meals.

We have successfully planted our first public food forest in Sioux Falls at Spirit of Peace UCC!

We empower people to feed themselves through agroforestry, edible landscaping and education.
What is a Food Forest?
Designed to operate as an ecosystem, a food forest focuses on trees, shrubs, vines, perennials, and self-seeding annuals that, once established, will need only a little help from people to be very productive.
What is Our Mission?
Our goal is to get as many edible plants as possible all over the city. We intend to do this by planting public food forests, designing low-maintenance edible landscapes for clients, and educating through classes.
How Can You Help?
If you are interested in having an edible landscape on your home or even growing your knowledge of sustainability, we can help! You are also more than welcome to make a tax deductible donation to help our cause as well.
