Here you can see the food forest begin to unfold, just 3 years ago this was a monculture coffee crop. The inga edulis, or ice-cream bean trees are six feet and higher, with medium term castor trees coming in. A short term corn crop is already established and today we are planting beans, which we love to eat!
The coffee bushes have had their lower branches cut, but canopy leaves remain and continue to produce small amount of coffee, while the main trunks send up more regenerative stalks.
