Fernmount Food Forest

The Fernmount Food Forest is situated on a north facing, sloping acre on the border of warm temperate and subtropical climate zones on the mid north coast of NSW, 3 minutes from Bellingen. The land is roughly divided into four of the five permaculture zones and horticultural practice generally follows permaculture principles. The property has sold but the original posts are maintained for reference purposes.
