The Food Forest Small Spaces Solution: Strategic Permaculture Designs For Every US Zone
Think you need acres of land to grow a food forest? Think again.
Here's the reality:
- Fresh food shouldn't cost a fortune-or require a farm. But when you're stuck with a cramped patio or a postage-stamp yard, it feels impossible to grow more than a few herbs.
- Small spaces get chaotic fast. Which dwarf trees actually fruit in pots? How do you layer plants vertically without it looking like a jungle?
- Most guides ignore you. They assume you have room to sprawl. You don't.
The Food Forest Small Spaces Solution: Strategic Permaculture Designs for Every US Zone is different.
Here's how it works:
1. Pick your USDA Zone (1-13). Flip to your section.
2. Choose from small-space designs: Balcony-friendly fruit trees, patio shrubs, vertical vines, and even mushrooms that thrive in containers.
3. Plant with confidence. Every layer is pre-planned for tight spaces.
2 canopy layer plants, 2 understory plants, 2 shrub plants, 2 groundcover plants, 2 herbaceous layer plants, 2 root layer plants, 2 vertical layer plants, and 2 fungi plants! Mix, match, or follow them verbatim.
Why this solves your problem:
- No yard? No problem. These designs can work for limited space.
- No more wasted money. Every plant is tested for small-space survival (goodbye, dead dwarf citrus trees).
- No guesswork. Layers are mapped for so your tiny Eden stays tidy and productive.
This isn't a compromise. It's a revolution.
Imagine plucking peaches from a patio tree, harvesting blueberries from a railing planter, or snipping tomatoes from a vertical garden-all while knowing your food is safe, fresh, and yours.
Small space. Big harvest.

About the Author

Audra Haldane is an agricultural engineer and bestselling author revolutionizing modern homesteading. For over a decade, she’s transformed barren Appalachian hillsides and Scotland’s rain-drenched slopes into thriving, climate-resilient ecosystems—proving self-sufficiency is possible anywhere, whether you’re on a 10-acre farm or a studio apartment balcony.
Audra’s actionable books, The Homestead Blueprint, Homesteading Mastery, and The Food Forest Solution, have empowered thousands to slash grocery bills, build drought-proof gardens, and turn “dead” land into income streams. Dubbed the “Marie Kondo of homesteading” by readers, she specializes in cutting through the fluff to deliver no-nonsense strategies for raising backyard chickens, designing permaculture food forests, and harnessing off-grid energy.
When she’s not teaching urban gardeners how to grow mangoes in Minnesota or coaching suburban moms to preserve 6 months of food, Audra travels the globe studying ancient sustainability practices—then translates them into bite-sized steps for modern life. Join 50,000+ readers who’ve traded takeout for homegrown salsa, HOA battles for stealth chicken coops, and helplessness for true independence.
Follow Audra to start your self-sufficiency journey—no acreage, trust fund, or green thumb required.
