Transform your orchard into a food forest

Stefan Sobkowiak

In this episode of the Food Forest Podcast, Louis De Jaeger talks with Stefan Sobkowiak, a permaculture orchardist, about creating productive and resilient food systems. Stefan shares insights on polyculture orchards, the tri-planting system, and strategies for economic sustainability. They explore practical techniques like efficient harvesting, innovative pruning, natural disease control, and the vital role of native pollinators. The conversation also touches on the experience of abundance, how regenerative orchards can yield significant produce with minimal inputs, and the importance of community sharing. Listeners gain both inspiration and hands-on advice for designing permaculture systems that nourish people, ecosystems, and communities.
