Space of Love – Anthony Anderson

Posted by Jake. 5 Comments

Hope everyone is having fun in their gardens this summer..!

One of my biggest inspirations…Anthony Anderson…is creating three…young food forests.  One… in Arizona…. and another project in Minnesota.  Both food forests are coming a long nicely.  If you tune into Anthony’s website and videos…you’ll learn more than you could in a few years at most brick and mortar.. places of learning.  There’s more informational content on that website..and in his videos than most libraries.

I absolutely love the guy..and am so grateful for everything he shares!!

Just in case…here’s the link to Anthony’s site…  Raw Model

You… just might find yourself creating your own food forest…from the stuff you learn….that’s what happened to me!!!

His third project…is here in Hurricane, Utah.  His ideas and contributions are all over the garden here.  We’re working closely on methods…sharing seeds…supplies and creating/being an awareness of sustainable living.  Thanks for all the support brother…we wouldn’t be doing this without you!!!

Here’s the food forest in Arizona, that he Alexandra and Andrea from Blackbird Naturals … are creating together…as well as a very very tasty chocolate truffle business….mmmmmm…I can still taste them!!  Thanks… Blackbird Naturals…love em!!  Huge gratitude.. for the inspiration from Arizona you “three”…and for sharing these “spaces of love” with us!!

I love watching them …GROW!

Cheers to…FREEDOM!!!

Heads up…Goji Berry is a Local!

Tis the season…to be hunting GOJI BERRY!

Been on the lookout on my hikes around these parts, hoping this is the year…to find that elusive, yet ever present GOJI BERRY.  In the video, you can hear David mention 15 varieties found in the southwestern deserts.  I’m seeing them listed in local herb/plant books too!  This video will show you what you’re looking for….

For the Utah wildcrafters, some of the varieties mentioned a lot, are LYCIUM cooperi, LYCIUM andersonii, and LYCIUM pallidum, keep an eye out, and if you spot one, shoot me an email…!!!  Would LOVE to grow the local strains a long with their Asian brothers.

Happy hunting….they’re out there!
