The Food Forest Solution: Strategic Permaculture Designs For Every US Zone Volume Two
What if you could walk outside and choose between dozens of thriving food forest designs-each tailored to your climate, soil, and goals-without wasting years on trial and error?
Here's the truth:
- Growing your own food shouldn't feel like a gamble. Yet every trip to the store risks price hikes, recalls, or wilted greens.
- Even seasoned gardeners get stuck. Maybe you've started a food forest but hit a wall: Which plants work best together? How do you maximize yield without chaos?
- Most guides repeat the basics. They don't give you more-more designs, more options, more clarity.
The Food Forest Solution: Permaculture Designs For Every U.S. Zone Volume Two changes the game throughout its 600 pages.
Inside this 600-page book, you'll discover:
1. 10 brand-new food forest blueprints per USDA Zone (1-13):
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.
2. Nearly 1000 plants researched and tested for survival: Think of it as a "greatest hits" list for every layer in your climate.
3. Advanced strategies like pest-resistant pairings, drought-proof layouts, and maximizing small spaces-so your garden adapts as you learn.
Why this volume is different:
- No paralysis. Stuck between two designs? This book gives you options, not overwhelm.
- No dead ends. Every plant is chosen to thrive in your zone-and complement its neighbors.
- No fluff. Just 600 pages of actionable food forest blueprints.
Whether you're expanding your existing food forest or starting fresh, The Food Forest Solution: Permaculture Designs For Every U.S. Zone Volume Two hands you the keys to abundance. The best part? Once these systems take root, they grow richer every year-with less work from you.
Your pantry doesn't have to depend on a broken food system. Grow your own.

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.
