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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFarming the Woods\u003c\/em\u003e covers in detail: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow to cultivate, harvest, and market high-value non-timber forest crops\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eComprehensive information on historical perspectives of forest farming\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow to mimic the forest in a changing climate\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCultivation of medicinal crops\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow to create a forest nursery\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHarvesting and utilizing wood products\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe role of animals in the forest farm\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow to design and manage your forest farm once it's set up\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForest crops covered include\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAmerican ginseng\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eShiitake mushrooms\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRamps (wild leeks)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMaple syrup\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFruit and nut trees\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOrnamental ferns\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnd many more!\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is a \u003cstrong\u003emust-read\u003c\/strong\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 384\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 9.9 x 7.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 23, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44434222743654,"sku":"9781603585071","price":51.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/dzVLcFJndzNkWm13OFE3c3NJR21tQT09.webp?v=1770443448","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/farming-the-woods-an-integrated-permaculture-approach-to-growing-food-and-medicinals-in-temperate-forests-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
