Dani Baker is a self-taught farmer and edible forest gardener who began planning and planting the “Enchanted Edible Forest," a permaculture-inspired acre of over 300 different food-producing plants in 2013.In May of 2022 her book, "The Home-Scale Forest Garden: How to Plan, Plant and Tend a Resilient Edible Landscape" was published by Chelsea Green. Dani loves to inspire others: homeowners, homesteaders, farmers and landscapers to landscape their plots, large or small, with perennial food plants incorporating the permaculture principles that reduce their labor going forward while increasing the abundance of their harvest year after year.
