Read the PDF of: Solution Series: Food Forest Abundance with Jim Gale Interview

“We’ve got 44 million acres of lawn in the United States. The lawn is the foundation of enslavement and the biggest mass brainwashing scam in the world, as it takes more chemicals and resources than any other crop and it does not provide food.”

~ Jim Gale

By Corey Lynn and James White

In a world where the established order wants to propagate fear and gain control through the idea of scarcity, while at the same time providing “solutions” like lab-grown meat and gene-edited produce, taking control of your own food production is quickly approaching what marketers call the Momentum Phase.

Jim Gale is here to help America grow food abundantly. Gale, a Minnesota native, has been around farming and gardening since his childhood when he would visit his family farm in southern Minnesota. Looking back, he says now, “When I was a kid, we would go home to the farm…, those were the most incredible weekends of my life. They called me ‘nature boy’ growing up.”

At the tender age of 19, Gale had a life-changing experience as he decided to write his goals down on paper to solidify their significance. After completing that exercise, Gale went on to become a four-time, all-American national wrestling champion, which he attributed to his written goals.

After planning the concept of abundance gardening for over 15 years, Gale launched his Food Forest Abundance program just over a year ago. Gale, a permaculturist, has already had amazing results with his program, which encourages you to ditch your grass-filled front and back lawns and replace them with an edible forest.

This week, Gale takes us through how to make this dream a reality, reviewing the success they’ve already had and their team’s step-by-step process and describing how the program can help families, institutions, and towns convert their lawns to edible food forests.

In Money & Markets this week, John Titus and Catherine will cover the latest events and continue to discuss the financial and geopolitical trends they are tracking in 2022 and the Going Direct Reset. E-mail your questions for Ask Catherine or post at the Money & Markets commentary here.

Our interview with Gale, the cofounder of Food Forest Abundance, is one you’re not going to want to miss!

Talk to you Thursday!

  1. Love this fella’s energy!

    Currently in a rental… (smallish yard), and have yet to put Permaculture design into action… took a few courses years ago, and the lovely design science behind creating zones and a food forest are such marvelous things to build for the future.

    Would LOVE to have you guys interview Paul Stamet the Mycologist.

    Nature given reign and allowance, can deal with everything the Control Cabal dishes out.. even spraying and radiation.

  2. Excellent Idea’s and very exciting! Love the concept of Home based food forests where you can share with friends, neighbors and family ect… Now we just need to address the Nasties that are spraying our air, altering/manipulating and weaponizing our environment and deal with the situation.

  3. Thank you so much for this new series. What an amazing interview!

    Where can we find the new released book that James talked about in minute 31 “The down and dirty about growing food at home”?

  4. My yard is a forest with just a small area of sun. My husband and I work full time with the kids either gone or in college. I want to garden but just have a herb barrel this year ?. I always saw my property as a negative. I’m excited to learn more about what I can do!!! I’m going to share this interview with family and friends.

    as a negative- I am excited about learning

  5. Thank you Corey and James. Gale is full of great energy. I am looking to get some peaches planted in the fall to get things started. Looking forward to your next discussion. As Catherine always says…prayer is the number one solution. Perhaps you could consider this as a topic of discussion in the near future. Corey and James are bringing the solutions. Love to all.

  6. Thank you for having such an interesting guest. I’m certainly inspired to learn more about permaculture.

    I just want to tell new gardeners to take it easy so as not to get overwhelmed. Do one thing at a time and realize it can take years to learn how to grow in your area. Spend the winter reading and planning. The hothouse tomatoes at my supermarket are not a good source of garden seed. Neither will the machine harvested beans climb up space saving poles. There’s a steep learning curve and everything is more work than you expect, so it’s important to see the challenge as fun and not get discouraged by taking on too much at once. Read how to do things “correctly” and hone and adapt your skills from there. Starting my garden three years ago has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my adult life.

  7. This is so exciting! What a fun interview! I never would have guessed he was from Minnesota. lol His accent reminded me of family Christmas parties when I was young and all of cousins from MN would visit. I am so over my lawn, they are pretty much dry beds of weeds anyway. I am IN! I am looking into this ASAP. Homeschool planting in our front and back yard in sunny Los Angeles is in session! We have an old old orange tree that was here when we bought 20yrs ago. The harvest was huge this year without any work on my part really, I donated a huge bag to the homeless and elderly. The rest I am making orange sorbet with my blender/ice cream maker and trying to can marmalade but I end up eating most of it myself. Thanks Corey and James! Great show! -Jennifer

  8. I work part time in a big hardware store. I receive request to recommend a chemical or two to get rid of the pesky dandelion or the awful black berry bush. Some where in the conversation I bring up, these plants have some good uses. Such as roasted dandelion root, ground up is a good coffee substitute (careful its a strong diuretic), and the leaves and flowers can add flavor to your salad, and there is a recipe for dandelion waffles. For the black berry’s, I tell them about the large hedge row that provides us with 100lbs of berry’s, basically a year supply of jam, powerful antioxidants, and some good smoothies, both leaded and unleaded.

  9. We have a held cow in the freezer from a local grower. We also get 3 dozen or so eggs per week from a local friend who has chickens. Now if we could on,y find some local veggies we would be set!

    1. You’ll want to get a pressure canner. That way, when the power goes off, you don’t lose everything that’s in the freezer.

  10. It is harder and harder to find non toxic food each year. Even at farmer market, 99% of vegetables are not ‘bio’. And it is not only because of greater profit, the plants cannot survive alone like 20 years ago. You could plant a tree and do nothing and still have fruits in few years. Today, the tree will not survive. Weather, pests, toxic clouds.. Even the food labeled as ‘bio’ it is not 100% bio.

    Don’t know if it is natural or ‘war on food’, this is the evolution of food growing in Europe. At least valid for east Europe:
    – 1990s acid rains appeared. plants would die after rain, a lot of growers started to grow only under plastic
    – late 90′: plants diseases exploded. even some wild plants were affected. official explanation is that they were brought from America and Asia. But America was discovered long time ago. Pesticide use increased.
    – Bombing of Serbia: a lot of trees died overnight close to Serbian border. no official explanation
    – No more clouds in the summer. no official explanation. we have clouds few hours when it is raining than no clouds at all for weeks. people started using artificial shadings
    – Insect attacks exploded. more chemicals needed
    – 2010: Bird number increased tenfold now even trees need a net. Just to get an idea how bad is, one day a friend of mine have seen few birds in his cherry tree.’it is to warm now I will wait til evening’. there was not a single cherry left in the evening.
    – New laws that try to make it harder to grow your own food. Official explanation: EU is forcing us. Somehow we are no more in a union, there is a master-slave relation now.

    I do not even want to think what some farmers do for more profit, like spraying glyphosate on wheat one week before harvest to force faster ripening.

    2. Unfortunately, it looks more and more like a significant intentional destruction of the food system for central control and depopulaton.

      “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”

    1. Thank you for these videos. I have gardened all my life and just last year I decided to cover the whole garden in hay. We have always mulched but not so much at the end of a season.
      We live in grass country now and it grows marvelously and early in the spring. My husband was happy that there were much fewer weeds this planting season. We have a very short growing season from June to September.

      I got more hay and mulched heavily during the season with much fewer weeds. After the harvest in Sept I will mulch even heavier than last year and I hope there will be even fewer weeds.

      I love her approach and it makes me feel good that I came up with a similar solution without needing outside advice.

  12. We made 4 garden beds this year – we’ve already planted in two and are preparing the other two for next year. I’m planning on growing potato towers, but I haven’t broken the news to my husband yet.
    Every morning, after my date with Wim Hof, I hang out with my potatoes and cabbages, drink my coffee, and sing Gregorian Chant. I’m a complete nerd and a card-carrying Luddite. Or I’ve gone completely insane. I love it.

    3. Elizabeth, I know we are Soul Sisters! That insane love that I have for my garden–Wow!
      One thing I’ve learned about growing food is to grow what you LOVE to eat! It’s a lot more fun and makes any weeding/hoeing/etc. a ton more worthwhile…Pick your favorites,
      folks, check to be sure they will grow in your area, and just get with it!
      Much luck with your green thumbs way way up!
