About Gemmo Forest

In a forest, each entity has a place and purpose. Step into a forest, and you are invited to remember your place, your purpose. Simply walking its pathways, slows your breath and heart rate. You are reminded of your unique essence and inner wisdom. The Gemmo Forest, in Keene, New Hampshire, offers this and more. Like forests since the beginning of time, their presence and products support emotional and physical health and well-being with food, shelter, and medicine. The Keene Gemmo Forest will do the same for all who live within or visit the Monadnock region. With the principles of permaculture as a guide, the planting of Gemmo trees, shrubs, and crops, mimics the naturally occurring polycultures on the land. In this model of biodiversity, we strive to meet the criteria for regenerative agriculture. We are committed to minimizing soil disturbance, maximizing plant diversity, keeping our soil covered, and maintaining root systems. The Gemmo Forest is a living, breathing model of co-creation between the land and all of its inhabitants. This cultivated intentional forest serves as a community classroom to promote proactive healthcare and allow for the local production of extracts.
