I wanted to find out more so I visited the Winslow Food Forest located on the border of Milwaukie and Portland, Ore. </p> <p>I visited in the fall, and even then, the place was thriving with herbs, the last of the summer crops, and other late fall crops. </p> <p>After the tour, I sat down with Melissa Cullen, co-owner of the farm with her husband, Teague, and chatted about how they got the farm, what the challenges are, and how others can start their own food forests. </p> <p>For more info on Winslow, <a href= "http://winslowfoodforest.com/about/">visit their website.</a></p>
