Gabriel, Farming the Woods

In a Chats in the Stacks book talk at Mann Library marking the 2015 Earth Day celebration, Steve Gabriel, author of "Farming the Woods: An Integrated Permaculture Approach to Growing Food and Medicinals" in Temperate Forests (Chelsea Green Publishing, 2014), highligts proven ways that forest owners and stewards can successfully cultivate, harvest, and market high-value non-timber forest crops. Providing an in-depth guide on productive ways to manage an established woodland, Farming the Woods 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. The book is co-authored by Ken Mudge (Emeritus Professor of Horticulture, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences).
