Nice pictures, great case studies, and well organized. . . . Farming the Woods is the source for temperate climate agroforestry.”—Jonathan Bates, Owner of Food Forest Farm While this concept of “forest farming” may seem like an obscure practice, history indicates that much of humanity lived and sustained itself from tree-based systems in the past; only recently have people traded the forest for the field. The good news is that this is not an either-or scenario; forest farms can be most productive in places where the plow is not: on steep slopes, and in shallow soils. It is an invaluable practice to integrate into any farm or homestead, especially as the need for unique value-added products and supplemental income becomes more and more important for farmers. Farming the Woods covers in detail: How to cultivate, harvest, and market high-value non-timber forest crops Comprehensive information on historical perspectives of forest farming How to mimic the forest in a changing climate Cultivation of medicinal crops How to create a forest nursery Harvesting and utilizing wood products The role of animals in the forest farm How to design and manage your forest farm once it’s set up Forest crops covered include : American ginseng Shiitake mushrooms Ramps (wild leeks) Maple syrup Fruit and nut trees Ornamental ferns And many more! This book is a must-read for farmers and gardeners interested in incorporating aspects of agroforestry, permaculture, forest gardening, and sustainable woodlot management into the concept of a whole-farm organism. Review: Grow your own Home Nature Library - Absolutely indispensable for the home nature library. At the intersection of delightful and practical. Bursting with tips and ideas. Review: I thought this was a really detailed and nicely written book with excellent instructions and photos - I thought this was a really detailed and nicely written book with excellent instructions and photos. I previously reviewed Integrated Forest Gardening and the two books together do a good job of supporting the others weak spots. I'm not going to go into as deep of a review as the two previous reviewers, but this book does a great job of detailing mushroom cultivation, forest polycultures, and alternative crops along with some economic info that isn't usually found in most books within this category. As an individual growing and managing my small forest for myself and not for profit/market, I didn't pay too much attention to that aspect; it is nice to know it's there if I change my mind. Also, like the previous reviewer mentioned, the ginseng grading checklist and other nifty tools are an added bonus with this book! Don't hesitate, buy it and you won't regret it! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #177,763 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #36 in Horticulture (Books) #80 in Forests & Forestry (Books) #113 in Sustainable Agriculture (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 417 Reviews | ## Images ![Farming the Woods: An Integrated Permaculture Approach to Growing Food and Medicinals in Temperate Forests - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91KmG3ntssL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Grow your own Home Nature Library *by B***E on September 15, 2025* Absolutely indispensable for the home nature library.

I love it! *by B***R on April 19, 2023* It really is eye-opening to what I believe many of us could begin returning to. I was recently reading another book that had a chapter on reforestation, mycology, and wildflowers called "Invent Soup" by Brock Bachelder. I'm actually reading several books on the atm, but this book is very thorough and digestible. I don't feel like it's too over my head, but here's to the future of many, many future forest-dwelling, soup, and dessert lovers! Once the machines do what they do! The Forests and the Soup are Real!
