Bermuda Business Spotlight

This month, we highlight Greg Wilson, Founder of Food Forest and a winner at the 3rd Annual Wave of Opportunity Pitch Competition. Greg and his team are building a sustainable local food operation focused on growing organic fruits and vegetables while promoting healthier lifestyles across Bermuda.


Food Forest produces fresh, locally grown food and organic compost, while also working with schools and community groups to raise awareness about sustainable growing and food education. The business has grown steadily since launching in 2021 and now supplies produce island wide from its market garden in Sandys.
