In the eyes of many people, the practices of forestry and farming are mutually exclusive, because in the modern world, agriculture involves open fields, straight rows, and machinery to grow crops, while forests are primarily reserved for timber and firewood harvesting. Farming the Woods invites a remarkably different perspective: that a healthy forest can be maintained while growing a wide range of food, medicinal, and other non-timber products. 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.
Many already know that daily indulgences we take for granted such as coffee, chocolate, and many tropical fruits, all originate in forest ecosystems. But few know that such abundance is also available in the cool temperate forests of North America. Farming the Woods is the first in-depth guide for farmers and gardeners who have access to an established woodland and are looking for productive ways to manage it. Authors Ken Mudge and Steve Gabriel describe this process as “productive conservation,” guided by the processes and relationships found in natural forest ecosystems.
Farming the Woods covers in detail how to cultivate, harvest, and market high-value non-timber forest crops such as American ginseng, shiitake mushrooms, ramps (wild leeks), maple syrup, fruit and nut trees, ornamental ferns, and more. Comprehensive information is also offered on historical perspectives of forest farming; mimicking the forest in a changing climate; cultivation of medicinal crops; creating a forest nursery; harvesting and utilizing wood products; the role of animals in the forest farm; and how to design and manage your forest farm once it’s set up. 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.

Are you wondering which productive trees to plant in your garden? Or are you planning a forest garden? Perhaps you are planting an orchard but want a greater diversity of useful trees than is typical? Or you’d like to know what unusual fruit trees you can use? The answers to all these questions can be found in master forest gardener Martin Crawford’s new book.
Crawford has researched and experimented with tree crops for twenty-five years and has selected over one hundred of the best trees producing fruits, nuts, edible leaves, and other useful products that can be grown in Europe and North America. Each of the trees or tree groups includes details of:
• Origin and history
• Description and uses
• Varieties/cultivars
• Cultivation, pests, and diseases
• Related species
• European and North American suppliers
• Color photos with every entry.
The appendices make choosing trees for your situation easy, with lists of suitable trees for specific situations, plus flowcharts to guide you. If you want to know about and make use of the large diversity of tree crops that are available in temperate and continental climates, then this book―by an internationally acknowledged expert―is both fascinating and essential reading.

Useful Trees & Shrubs in Dryland PermaculturePrice: $14.95 Free Shipping
The reason I wrote this book is simple. There are so many of us in permaculture who still have trouble remembering which leaves, seeds, seed pods, flowers, and general tree shapes belong to some of the important Nitrogen Fixers and other trees that are often used in dryland permaculture. I also included several trees that most permaculture folks like to use due to their usefulness in producing foods, medicines, and for attracting beneficial insects. For those of you who don’t yet know, a Nitrogen Fixer is a tree or plant that has little nodules on its roots that house a very wonderful type of bacteria. This bacteria actually converts the Nitrogen from our air into deep, ground-penetrating fertilizer, and the leaves of these plants and trees are also an excellent source of high nitrogen fertilizer! Imagine what these wonderful plants can do for any soil that has become completely dead and useless. Their use is one of the cornerstones of permaculture. When used correctly, the Nitrogen Fixers and other trees in this book will provide nutrients and shade for a plethora of fruits, nuts and vegetables on your land. Another important factor I address in this book is whether or not your goats, sheep, or even pigs, can eat these plants in order to bring down the cost of feeding your animals. Furthermore, I wanted to inform the readers, in the quickest way possible, about the cold/heat hardiness, shade provision, and a few pertinent facts about their horticulture, food production and other uses in a farm setting. One last important item. I wanted this book to be eye catching and beautiful. I want your friends to pick it up and ask you questions about permaculture. When you design a permaculture site I want you to remember that you are creating a gorgeous food forest that pays homage to the millions of forests that our earth has created all on its own. It’s our job to creatively follow the earth’s design principles rather than fight against them. Thank you and enjoy.

Take a stroll through the garden of a self-confessed hortimaniac. Gardening is Marie Harrison’s avocation, passion…some might say, obsession. In her personal, witty style (she refers to her husband as Amiable Spouse, or A.S. for short), Marie divulges her own tried-and-true ways of gardening along the coasts of the southeast United States. Marie covers perennials, flowers grown from bulbs, herbs, shrubs and small trees, vines, edible flowers, and herbs for flower borders. A section of full-color photos captures these beautiful plants and flowers in all their vibrant glory. Charming pen-and-ink illustrations are sprinkled throughout the text. Marie discusses the edible and medicinal properties of various plants (there’s even a quick or two!), as well as coastal considerations such as salt tolerance; environmental issues such as pesticide use, beneficial insects, and exotic invasives; and gardening for birds and butterflies. She also offers her musings on the seasons in Florida and how she spends her time in the garden during each phase of the year. Whether you’re seasoned gardener like Marie or a tentative beginner just starting out with a windowsill herb garden, this delightful book will make you appreciate the dirt under your fingernails.

For those who are interested in more efficient, ecologically friendly gardens, or simply curious what the wide world of plants can offer us going into the future. Mastering the Growing Edge is a cutting edge work that broadens our view of garden tools and how easily we and nature can work together to create lush, productive gardens.

While Luke enters the scene from the angle of permaculture, food forests, and perennial gardens which he keeps in mind through the work, this book has application for any gardener from perennial ornamentals to annual vegetables. Those who have read Luke’s earlier work PASSIVE Gardening will find many additions here that continue to show the elegant, practical tools we can discover in healthy ecology.

Scientist/gardener Carol Deppe combines her passion for organic gardening with newly emerging scientific information from many fields ― resilience science, climatology, climate change, ecology, anthropology, paleontology, sustainable agriculture, nutrition, health, and medicine. In the last half of The Resilient Gardener, Deppe extends and illustrates these principles with detailed information about growing and using five key crops: potatoes, corn, beans, squash, and eggs.
In this book you’ll learn how to:
•Garden in an era of unpredictable weather and climate change
•Grow, store, and use more of your own staple crops
•Garden efficiently and comfortably (even if you have a bad back)
•Grow, store, and cook different varieties of potatoes and save your own potato seed
•Grow the right varieties of corn to make your own gourmet-quality fast-cooking polenta, cornbread, parched corn, corn cakes, pancakes and even savory corn gravy
•Make whole-grain, corn-based breads and cakes using the author’s original gluten-free recipes involving no other grains, artificial binders, or dairy products
•Grow and use popbeans and other grain legumes
•Grow, store, and use summer, winter, and drying squash
•Keep a home laying flock of ducks or chickens; integrate them with your gardening, and grow most of their feed.
The Resilient Gardener is both a conceptual and a hands-on organic gardening book, and is suitable for vegetable gardeners at all levels of experience. Resilience here is broadly conceived and encompasses a full range of problems, from personal hard times such as injuries, family crises, financial problems, health problems, and special dietary needs (gluten intolerance, food allergies, carbohydrate sensitivity, and a need for weight control) to serious regional and global disasters and climate change. It is a supremely optimistic as well as realistic book about how resilient gardeners and their vegetable gardens can flourish even in challenging times and help their communities to survive and thrive through everything that comes their way ― from tomorrow through the next thousand years. Organic gardening, vegetable gardening, self-sufficiency, subsistence gardening, gluten-free living.
