Long Story:

​

JAI Jungle

October 2018

 

JAI Jungle is a Food Forest in dedication to JAI OM born on October 14, 2016.  October 14 2018 marks the planting of some of the first Moringa trees of the forest located in Ocala, FL.  Ocala is in the growing zone of 9 in Marion County known to be the horse capital of the world.

 

We will be planting hundreds of fruit and nut trees in this 5 acre property and building structures for use of volunteer farmers and events. This will include outdoor bathroom facilities such as a beautiful outdoor shower and ecologically friendly composting methods.

 

A nursery on the farm will provide available species of plants and trees for sale that are growing in the food forest. We will specialize in natives and edible plants and trees.

 

Bambo will be planted to surround and protect the property from wind, natural disaster, smog, smoke, and sound pollution. Some of the bambo will be edible and others will be used for building material and compost.

 

We will grow annuals and make a seasonal schedule for the year to plant all the popular and highly used plants with favor to what can grow best, is eaten most replacing cost of food, and what customers request.

 

Classes and Events will be held featuring growing techniques, health and wellness, Non Violent Communication, Permaculture, and many other topics to teach, learn, and gain contacts.

 

1,000 Fruit and Nut Trees will be planted as a minimum over a 5 year period. Our first Tree planted was Persimmon ($40) from a local nursery.  Fig ($14) was next planted also from the nursery.  30 Moringa planted from seed (Lions Den seed).

 

Biochar Production on site to provide ecological carbon sink and soil amendment with potential for sale and educational classes.

 

Compost systems for 70% of waste on the farm if not more providing ecological amendments for soil. Rising that percentage by new methods to terracycle and consume less.

 

The house on the farm is for JAI and to be kept clean and organized.  Anyone entering the home must clean and organize, put things where they were found and clean up after others or stay outside please. All is recorded on video in the home and Grandma and Grandpa of JAI are always watching.  

 

Unity and Love is the tenant here. We lift eachother up with actions and words to avoid laziness and lack of kindness. We are aware of ups and down in life and promote rest, silent time, and motivators.

 

Conscientiousness is a tenant here. If you say you will do something do it or please explain why, with no remorse for intentional or unintentional pain to another is unacceptable here.  

 

Non Violent Communication is promoted here. Please speak up to get what you want. We hope everyone can have their needs met here with proper analysis and requests.

 

Organize. Put things where you found them.

 

Leave only footprints and take only pictures. If you don’t know please ask as every leaf is precious here. We are bountiful so please ask if you wish to receive.  We always accept donations graciously.

 

Volunteers are welcome and encouraged under specific conditions as listed here.  This includes visitors. We hope to uphold a high moral ground and safe place for all. Conflict is not discouraged yet dealt with immediately with Non Violent Communication.   

 

Manipulators and abusers will not be tolerated here. We are here to help the community and for that reason we are a safe space where everyone is asked to speak up about abuse or manipulation immediately.  No issue is trivial here. This is a safe space.
