Learn about the fundamentals of silvopasture and experience firsthand how to plan for long-term tree regeneration and intensive livestock management. About the farm: Wild East Farm is a 44-acre beauty in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The landscape is a diverse mix of open pastures, flowing streams, and woodlands. “We envision a contiguous farm ecosystem that will take decades to develop. In the early years, we are producing crops that are familiar, reliable, and economically viable for a new farm business including annual vegetables and pastured poultry. All the while, we have established agroforestry plantings over 11 acres and are preparing the land to holistically graze ruminants- with intentions to transition to these forms of production over time.”

Forest Farming Tour dates announced!   Most farms in Western NC and the Southern Appalachians contain forested land. These forest farm tours and on-farm workshops aim to train beginning forest farmers and land stewards, both novice and experienced, to understand the wealth and history of woodland botanicals and forest products.   Additionally, this series will explore the opportunities for land stewardship and possible income streams within existing farm operations while also promoting health, respect, and diversity for forests.   Integrating Trees and Grazing Livestock In A Silvopasture System Join Noah and Lyric for a tour of Wild East Farm, where they have established ~12 acres of crop tree plantings designed for pasturing livestock throughout.
