Garden Dr. Teaching Farm – A Living Permaculture Experience 🌱
Welcome to Garden Dr. Teaching Farm, a thriving permaculture farm located in beautiful Dunnellon. Our farm is dedicated to teaching and demonstrating sustainable growing methods that work in Central Florida’s unique climate.
At Garden Dr. Teaching Farm, we believe food should be grown naturally, responsibly, and in harmony with nature. Our farm showcases real-world permaculture systems designed to regenerate the soil, conserve water, and produce abundant food year-round.
Visitors can explore a diverse ecosystem that includes:
🌿 Food forests filled with fruit trees, bananas, figs, citrus, and tropical plants
🥬 Seasonal vegetable gardens grown using organic and regenerative practices
🐓 Chickens and farm animals integrated into the natural farming system
🍌 Specialty crops like bananas, Okinawa spinach, and other nutrient-dense foods
🌳 Shade trees, pollinator plants, and biodiversity designed to support healthy soil
The farm also serves as a hands-on teaching space, where guests, students, and gardeners can learn practical skills such as:
• Permaculture design
• Growing food in Florida’s climate
• Composting and soil building
• Natural pest control
• Small-scale sustainable farming
Founded by Kevin Gunter “The Garden Doctor”, a former aerospace science teacher with over 15 years of experience educating students, the farm blends science, ecology, and practical gardening knowledge to help people grow their own food successfully.
Whether you’re interested in learning permaculture, buying plants, exploring a working farm, or connecting with sustainable agriculture, Garden Dr. Teaching Farm offers a unique and inspiring experience.
🌱 Come see how nature grows food the way it was meant to.
