What is a
Tree Born forest?

Inspired by the patterns of bees, each
Tree Born forest begins as a 20m² hexagon-shaped forest glade. At its heart stands a central, chosen tree, encircled by a winding path and surrounded by layers of food-producing and support plants.
Why hexagons?
They create a cozy, nest-like space that’s easy to manage and protect from both wild and domestic animals. Plus, like a honeycomb, they fit together seamlessly—making it easy to add forests for new family members.

What Is a Food Forest? And Why Your Family Might Need One Now More Than Ever

How a Food Forest Builds Resilience for Your Family

A Tree Born food forest offers a regenerative, low-maintenance system that nourishes both land and life. Rooted in the principles of syntropic agroforestry, Tree Born designs support biodiversity, deepen family connection, and build resilience—one layered, living ecosystem at a time.
