The first in-depth guide for farmers and gardeners who have access to an established woodland and are looking for productive, innovative ways to create a natural forest ecosystems that produces a wide range of food, medicinals, and other non-timber products.

“What a joy to read! 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.

My dog looks forward to this every day
Size: 2.8in for Small & Medium Dogs
My dog used to have separation anxiety every time I left the house. I tried to find things to distract her when I left, but nothing kept her attention long enough for me to get out of the house. I stuff treats in this ball and she keeps focused and gets all of the treats out. Perfect solution to keep her occupied as I leave for work. Very easy to put treats in and I’ve had it for about 6 months now, which is great because my dog chews toys to pieces within days! High quality ball. I love it so much (well, my dog loves it so much), I bought one to give my neighbor’s dog.

Good toy, wish it was slightly bigger
Size: 2.8in for Small & Medium Dogs, Size: 2.8in for Small & Medium Dogs
I got the medium to large size ball for my elderly boxer who has suddenly taken to chewing on everything. The toy has been a decent purchase. Pros: not incredibly stiff plastic for elderly dogs. Easy to manipulate to put treats in the spikes. Easy to clean. Seems engaging for my dog. Cons: probably not for super chewers. This size is probably too small for large or extra large dogs. My dog can easily fit this in his mouth and I wish it was just a little bigger. The ball can only hold one mini milk bone per slot, so it makes for treats to be really easily pulled out. Can't comment on durability yet, haven't had it for long enough. Overall, I like this toy. I just wish it was slightly wider or bigger.

Durable, Fun, Useful!
Size: 1.8in for Puppy Dogs
This treat dispenser is so great! For one thing, it's sturdy and will last forever. It will get lost before it wears out. This is my second order because I can't find the first one . . . so I bought this pack of two. In one, I put peanut butter. In the second one, I put toothpaste, just a squirt for each opening. My dog LOVES to chew on this even after she has consumed 98% of whatever I put in there. In short, it occupies her attention, which is a blessing! It's both a treat and a toy. It also bounces well and can be thrown as a ball. It will LAST far longer than any ofher other balls, too. My dog has a tiny mouth and larger balls are too big or too hard for her. If I could give it more stars, I would!

DURABLE
Size: 2.8in for Small & Medium Dogs
My dog loves these balls almost as much as she loves tennis balls, which she tears up within a day. These two balls have lasted over a week with no signs of wear. I was unsure when I ordered them but they do bounce, not quite like a tennis ball but enough to keep my dog's attention. When using toothpaste in these balls I had to put it deep into the openings or she just licks it off of the surface and when its that deep, it doesn't squeeze out like I think it should. It just stays in the crevasses and gets old and hard. As a ball it's great, as a toothpaste delivery system it's not so great.
