Food Forests
In this story, we meet Robert and Robyn Guyton and visit their abundant property in Riverton. They have spent many years developing a sparse piece of farmland into a lush, fruit-laden forest providing them and their family with a year-round supply of food. Robyn tells us about the history of their place, and Robert takes us on a tour of the forest, highlighting the types of fruits growing there. You might be surprised at the varieties they’ve been able to grow in chilly Southland! You can find more stories from Guyton’s forest garden on their Blog:
