What You Walk Away With

Three Things. One Day.

Most people leave a workshop with notes. You leave with a plan, a system, and a real path to make a living from this work.

01

A Plan For Your Land

Custom food forest design for your property. What to plant, where, and when. Built around your zone, your soil, and your goals.

02

Our Actual Systems

The exact way Toni and I run our food forest. No theory. The watering rhythm, pest plays, harvest schedule, and what failed so you skip it.

03

GFC Certification + Business Playbook

Full lifetime access to the Florida Food Forest Masterclass and GFC certification. Plus the business playbook: how to sell harvest, build content, and turn this into income.

The Four Hours

How The Day Runs.

Tight, focused, and built to give you everything before the sun hits its peak. Includes a lunch from the food forest with Jermaine, Toni, and our family.

Hour 1

Walk The Food Forest, Hear The Stories

We start in the yard with Jermaine and Toni. Every tree, every bed, every system. What is producing, what failed, what we replaced and why. You see the truth of a working Florida food forest before any of the strategy makes sense.

Hour 2

Hands On Design For Your Land

We sit down with photos and measurements of your property. Together we map what your food forest looks like, what to plant first, the order of operations, and the timeline. You leave with this on paper.

Hour 3

Turn Your Passion Into Income

How to sell your harvest to local restaurants and stores. How to build content that helps people. YouTube strategy, social media, books, courses. The same seven revenue pillars Toni and I use.

Hour 4

Lunch, Q And A, And A Commitment

We sit down with a meal from the food forest. You ask anything. We answer. Before you leave, we agree on your first three moves and a date to check in. You drive home with a plan, not a dream.

What You Learn

Both Sides Of The Work.

This day is built for people who want to grow food and turn it into a real living. Not one or the other. Both.

01

The Growing

Hands-on food forest design and care from people who actually do it. Real plants, real soil, real Florida weather.

  • Food forest design for your zone and your soil
  • Watering, mulch, and pest plays that work
  • Florida-proven plants, fruit trees, perennials
  • Harvest schedule and storage tips
02

The Business

How to turn your passion into income. Sell your harvest. Build content. Make money helping other people grow.

  • Sell harvest to local restaurants and stores
  • YouTube and social media strategy
  • Books, courses, and digital products
  • Sponsorships, affiliates, and partnerships

Common Questions

Before You Apply

How much does it cost?
We share pricing once we have talked and confirmed it is a fit. The day is priced as a private experience and includes lifetime access to the Florida Food Forest Masterclass with GFC certification. If you are looking for the cheapest option, this is not it.
Why do you screen people?
This is our home. Toni and our family live here. We choose carefully who walks through our gate, and we have a duty to make sure the people we invite in are serious, respectful, and ready to use what we teach.
What if I do not live in Florida?
Most plant principles still apply across the Southeast and zone 8 and warmer. We adjust your design for your zone. People have flown in from out of state for this. Lakeland and Tampa are the closest airports.
Is Toni there the whole time?
Toni joins for the parts of the day where her perspective adds the most, including the food forest walk, the business and content section, and the meal. She runs her own work and her own channel, so we balance her time intentionally.
What is GFC certification?
GFC stands for GrowFitFL Food Forest Certification. It is awarded after you complete the Florida Food Forest Masterclass that comes free with your VIP Day. It signals that you have the system, the design, and the discipline to grow a working Florida food forest.
Do you offer this remote or virtual?
No. The whole reason this works is because you are physically here, walking the food forest, sitting in our home, looking us in the eye. There is a different program coming for remote students, but this is not that.

A few VIP Day spots open each month. That's by design.This isn't a Zoom call. It isn't theory. You come to our home here in West Central Florida. You walk the food forest with me. You sit at the table with Toni and me. You see exactly how we built this life and how we run it day to day.You leave with a plan. You leave with the clarity to execute it. Apply only if you're serious. Our family time is the cost of doing this, and we expect you to value yours the same way.
