PERSONALISED FOOD FOREST DESIGN MENTORSHIP
Food Forest Design
Here's the process:
Whatever your context (small backyard, blank-canvas paddock or an existing orchard), we'll get to the crux of accelerating your food forest journey and skipping years of costly mistakes + misplaced effort.
Informed by permaculture design & syntropic agroforestry, these food forests integrate into your property and lifestyle in a way that matches up with your context.
Break free from supermarket dependence by taking control over your food source and unlocking greater value, productivity, and health from your land. Create a better life for you & your family.
Book a free call and we'll chat to get more clarity about your vision for the property, and to make sure we align together. Depending on how we decide to move forward, you may also get some 'homework' to prepare for the consultation.
We'll organise a day for an initial site visit (or online session), where we'll observe the unique characteristics of the site (sun & shade, wind exposure, slope aspects, soil profiles, existing vegetation etc). Then we'll send the drone up and draw a few concept maps together based on our site analysis & previous discussions.
We'll begin honing-in together on key areas and certain patterns to help guide your next steps forward. This is where the richest ideas and practical steps forward are delivered, giving you confidence with that "where do I start" feeling. Addressing your biggest 'roadblocks' or 'overwhelm' into hands-on solutions.
...
An initial Concept Design package includes all of the following:
-
Computer-rendered design that shares main ideas and patterns from the visit & discussions
-
Assortment of actionable next steps and useful resources + notes to assist your project

A Letter From Byron
CEO + Founder
Backyard Paradise is a New Zealand based Food Forest / Agroforestry Design + Installation Service.
I'm making myself available for one-on-one coaching. Overcome the knowledge or practical gaps keeping you from getting started or reaching your projects full potential. Let's work together to design + create a successful & productive food forest that will nourish your family and stand the test of time.
If you're thinking to yourself.. "what does he know that I can't figure out?" - The answer is nothing. You shouldn't purchase this session. Do it your way. Make the mistakes I made. Waste time, effort & money on a system that struggles. Learn the hard way. When you don’t get the results you hoped for and find yourself feeling overwhelmed & going nowhere fast, it might be time to consider a different approach.
The advice I share, comes from real, practical experience. That, combined with being coached by some of New Zealand's most advanced growers & designers, gives me a unique perspective, not only as a professional designer, but also what it takes on the ground to succeed with your project.
I've been running a successful permaculture design business for nearly 4 years (with clients all around the North Island), have coached countless people via valuable in-person & online events. All while converting the traditional orchard where I live, into a productive food forest demonstration site.
In early 2019 I moved to an overgrown, neglected orchard in the Bay of Plenty alongside my family. With a background in Ecological Restoration, I began applying + practicing Permaculture, Living Design and Syntropic Agroforestry. Since then I've been working non-stop, transforming the orchard into a series of diverse & abundant agroforestry systems - Now enjoying over 200 different species and countless learning opportunities to share with you.
It's become a 'research / demonstration site' where I document the journey and figure out what works (and what doesn't!) Let me help you avoid those mistakes that I made.
I've been working with clients all around the North Island to help them create productive, edible ecosystems in backyards and on farms. Regenerating an overgrazed gully into a lush subtropical food forest. Incorporating large-scale banana systems into organic dairy farms. Converting small urban sections into thriving edible jungles. Transforming 'blank slate' lifestyle blocks, intentional communities and bare paddocks into productive ecosystems, full of life.
Remove yourself from increasing prices, toxic chemicals and decreasing quality of industrial systems. Reconnect with your inner human and start your food forest. Create a ecosystem around your home, where fresh food is abundant year-round, the land is bursting with life, and the future is secure.
