Enjoy Kev's wisdom and practical demonstration of managing frost with his tropical systems, improving poor sandy soil with organic material and growing crops to sell at a local market from these syntropic food forest / agroforestry systems in Napes, Florida.

If you're new to the channel, my name is Byron. I specialize in syntropic food forest design, education, installation, and management. My journey began in 2020 when I started converting my family's diseased citrus orchard into an agroforestry farm + demonstration site. Since then, I've continued to learn from top experts & practitioners around the world (New Zealand, Brazil, Costa Rica, Florida) at these agroforestry hotspots.
How I Got Here:
- 2020: Began transforming a citrus orchard into a thriving food forest.
- Shared free agroforestry education online, building a strong community.
- Installed countless food forests for clients in the last few years.
- Traveled to Costa Rica, Florida, and Brazil, documenting and sharing my experiences.
- Learned from and worked alongside the top names in Syntropic Agroforestry.
- Launched the 'Food Forest Pioneers' teaching others how to start their design business .
- Created an accessible group-consulting program 'Food Forest Fellowship'
- Launched the FREE Training: Food Forest Secrets inside the 'Food Forest Family'
Today:
- Our programs help people design and manage regenerative food forests.
- Content from global training sessions shared within the Fellowship.
- We continue to innovate to make agroforestry education accessible to everyone.
To all aspiring agroforestry practitioners, remember that every challenge is part of your epic journey. Keep pushing forward, and you'll either achieve great success or gain invaluable stories.
Both outcomes are victories.

It was an honor finally getting to hang with you and show you around. Super grateful for the awesome drone shots!! Keep up the amazing work man! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Loved the connection brother! Can’t wait to see how things keep growing for ya 💪💪
I just subscribed to your channel Kevin. What fantastic work! And you learned Portuguese by watching agroforestry videos! Abraços do Brasil 🇧🇷

Kevin is the real deal.. I guess lot of people should know about him to get inspired to do what is absolutely and urgently needed.. Syntropic Agroforestry has all the answers for farms of all sizes to live by the farm and also save the planet doing so and we need too many pioneers to spread this idea all around the world.. Thank you Kevin for being there and Thank you Byron for helping me to get to know Kevin's work.. With lots of respect from Trichy, Tamilnadu, India...
So happy you see a drone shot of his system. I follow him, and I'm also in Central Florida. Started my system this year.
I live in Central Florida too. Started my system last year.
Been following Kev’s channel for a while; great to see him featured here! 🤙
Same here...
Kevin Cruz the real deal! Thank you for showcasing the brother Byron! Awesome to share some chocolate persimmon, cocos and time with you all! God Bless
The peach is probably a florida prince, we have them in hawaii and they dont need any chill hours. You can air layer them easily, even small branches. Also btw a super underrated subtropical fruit is garcinia xanthochymus, should fruit well in florida and NZ. Its a sour warhead fruit, kinda similar to tamarind but with a creamy mangosteen texture.
I've got 3 Florida princes, we love them. They're great producers.
THANK YOU for visiting Kevin! I love his page!!!! ❤❤❤
Kevin is a living legend!
I am from Somalia and want to start food forest in Somalia. These videos gives me energy and new ideas thank you for your videos
I love seeing so many diverse farms and see what they do on their property! It helps motivate me to do more here in Ghana
I just discovered this channel today and I’m loving it. Every video is an instant like and fav! Keep it up bro
To be a keen observer is a must in order to execute such an endeavor to convert a land into a syntropic one.
Cheers & mabuhay, from my end--the Philippines!
Awesome talk Kevin n Byron! A lot to see and learn over there.
Thank you so much for sharing about our projects in Honduras 🙏🏼
Our pleasure! Keep doing the amazing work out there 💪💪🌿
@@byron.in.new.zealand 100% Thanks!
Just so you know, Black Sapote has natural Canabinoids in it, small concentrations. ✌
You can also activate the endocannabinoid system through exercise and certain natural things like cacao. Echinacea binds to the cannabinoid receptor site and tonifies it. Combined, assists anxiolytic properties. Its nice learning about new sources of shared phytochemicals!
That's funny cuz I don't even like black sapote but I crave it like crazy!
Pioneers, great video, if there were more guys like Kevin the world would be a better place
Bien Kevin. Sólido con el sistema.
I feel you brother, started mine a few years ago, didn't know they had a name for it.
It's always exciting to see what can be accomplished in a few short years. I'm working with very sandy soils myself and brutal frosts so it's really uplifting to see that I'm not completely insane trying to do this... I just need to be creative and patient
Thanks for sharing
, hope to see you next trip over
Yoooo, hey from the South East New Eden, USA
"Get seeds in the ground." Words to live by.
Love to see Kevin on the channel! Great stuff!
I LOVE this vid...really great to see similar climate to ours in NZ re frosts. Thanks Kevin and Byron for the vid.
Doing this in a semi arid environment. Shade trees are essential
My team and I are starting a food forest in Cambodia.
You gonna post content? I'm starting one in Ghana
That was great! Super inspiring. Keen to talk with others doing syntropic agroforestry. Will check out the food forest family.
Cheers
playing with the machete during an interview, relax
How big is this farm? What’s the species density on this farm?
What is the name of the fruit that you said tasted like a gingerbread man at the beginning?
Jamaican Cherry (Muntingia calabura)
@@Kevin-Cruz thank you!
Blue Java banana is not cold tolerant??? I purchased it as one of the “hardiest” bananas!!!😢 Which varieties are strongest with cold and frost in your experience?
Carolina King & Texas Star
@@butterflyj685 Thanks!
