Forest Farming Resources

Page under construction - check back soon for more information.

Since 2014, one of the primary missions of the Appalachian Forest Farmer Coalition has been to create, host and maintain a clearinghouse of forest farming information and resources, in order to help future, beginning and current forest farmers across the region.

 

Since that time, attention and interest in forest farming has grown, as have the groups, resources, events and available information. The resources on this website focus on eastern forests, local native forest botanicals and well established forest farming practices of this region. That being said, many folks outside of the Appalachians also want to learn more about local species and try to grow them in other temperate regions. The AFFC welcomes and supports knowledge sharing and exchange, while acknowledging that research and local expertise is always necessary.


Note: These resources are freely available to the public, and can be found or requested from their respective publishers. While these resources have been created for, or curated here on the AFFC website for the benefit of the forest farming community, all resources are used with permission and credit goes to the individual authors and original publishers. ​​
