Turn your land into a food forest that feeds you for years to come
Without it taking over your life
Start with one small guild you can understand, plant, and repeat. Then grow your land into a beautiful, productive, low-maintenance food forest one step at a time.
Inside The One Guild Food Forest guide, you’ll learn what to plant first, where to begin, and how to start building a beautiful, productive food forest without getting lost in endless research or second-guessing every decision.

You want a food forest
but it feels more complicated than it should
You may already have the vision in your head.
A beautiful food forest where you can step outside, harvest fresh food from your own land, and see it become more abundant year after year.
Not by spending every spare hour trying to keep it going.
But by building something that grows stronger as it matures.
That is the dream.
But when you actually try to begin, it can get confusing fast.
Suddenly, this beautiful idea turns into a pile of questions. What should you plant first? Where should things go? What should grow around your trees? How do you make it work with your soil, wind, water, animals, spacing, and climate?
Before long, the dream of a beautiful, productive food forest starts to feel like another overwhelming project.
But what if there was a simpler way to get started?
You do not need to design the whole property at once.
You do not need to understand every plant, every layer, and every possible combination before you begin.
You just need one clear starting point.


Hi, I'm Moreno.
I created The Forest Gardener to help you start your food forest in a way that feels clear, practical, and doable.
I’ve planted food forests in three different climates, run a no-dig market garden in France, built a permaculture-inspired homestead in Portugal, and planted well over 3,000 trees along the way.
These days, I’m building my third food forest in the Azores, where I spend most of my time planting trees, starting seeds, moving mulch, harvesting fruit, and eating whatever looks ready before the birds get to it.
What I teach comes from planting, mistakes, observation, and the belief that a food forest should feed you, fit your life, and become more productive over time without consuming every spare hour you have.
My goal is to help you build a beautiful, productive food forest one clear step at a time.
