Tour a mature forest of edible fruits, nuts, and berries that Iowa Nut Growers Association president, Gary Fernald, started planting on 24 acres in 1967 near Monmouth, Illinois. Gary will explain the growth conditions, pollination requirement, and other techniques of food forestry as you stroll through the edible forest and see what the mature trees look like.
