Members are from across the country and have experience farming and studying edible, medicinal, decorative, and craft-based products in woodlands. The community provides woodland owners and managers with information about startup, best practices, and markets and policies. Non-timber forest products are a key part of the US forest-based economy. Examples of high-value products include shiitake mushrooms, medicinal plants such as goldenseal, decoratives such as pine straw and salal, and craft products such as cypress knees. farming is the sustainable cultivation of these products under the protection of a forest canopy that has been modified and is maintained to provide the correct shade level. farming is an agroforestry practice that provides income while high-quality, long-term trees are being grown for future products or forest conservation. Who is part of the forest farming community? We are forest farmers, university faculty, and agency personnel working together to provide useful farming information.
