in 2017 I started planting a food forest on a 2 acre abandoned property. we’re located only 10 miles south of the US Capitol but are surrounded by several hundred acres of forest and very few homes. our urban garden design, landscape architecture and permaculture techniques incorporate fruiting trees, fruiting shrubs, edible ground cover, edible flowers, and herbs and medicinal plants that will provide food for generations. it’s a long and slow ‘haul’, as we adapt, learn new things and are enjoying the process.

you DON’T NEED TWO ACRES to do this. i once planted ~12 fruit trees on the property of a residential home. if I can do it, so can u!

HEPPY™ lifestyle is about health and wellness, based on key interwoven pillars. HEPPY is growing and eating quality nutritious food; it’s physical exercise and physical health; HEPPY values mental health to include rest, meditation, enjoyment of nature, and working at what makes you passionate; it’s about being creative, artistic and INVENTIVE; and HEPPY emphasizes financial health by being conservative, patient and finding best value. Nutritional, physical, mental, creative, and financial health are pillars of a HEPPY lifestyle. it’s being selfsustaining – not talking selfsustaining by converting a standard residential home into a COMFORTABLE offgrid oasis.

i just started ;) so there’ll be vids for years to come :/ … ;). check us out!: https://heppy.org
