For the average Floridian, the percentage of consumed food grown within 100 miles has declined rapidly over the last several decades.
We have replaced natural, locally grown food with processed, chemical laden “products" which travel hundreds or thousands of miles before they hit the dinner table, to the detriment of our health and the sustainability of our environments.
The overall mission at OnSite Tree is to localize food, and to do that, we need your trees. Forida consists of mostly sand, devoid of the nutrients necessary for abunant food growth. Tree waste in the form of wood chips and biochar serves as the carbon base for compost, a nutrient-dense soil ideal for growing food. Here is just a short list of what can thrive in our region under the proper conditions:
Citrus, such as oranges, grapefruits, lemons, limes, and tangerines
Avocados
Mangos
Guava
Papayas
Bananas
Various Berries - blueberries, strawberries, mulberries, etc.
Pineapples
Passion Fruit
Dragon Fruit
Tropical Herbs - basil, mint, lemongrass, and oregano
Various peppers
Tomatoes
Olives
Okra
Sweet potatoes
Taro
