This is a list of plants for a food forest in at least zone 4 (winters can get as cold as -30 F, or 34 C). While Willowrise Gardens is unlikely to ever carry all of these species, it’s our secret ambition. If you are aware of a perennial food plant that grows in cold hardiness zone 4 (or lower–the lower the number, the colder the winters can get), let us know, so we can list it here. And while we are also happy to add some plants with medicinal properties, we’d prefer that this list focus on plants that can be eaten in/with meals.
