With support from the USDA National Agroforestry Center (NAC), a collaboration of Regenerative Design Group, Wellspring Forest Farm, and Inhabit Films completed a project to highlight innovative examples of silvopasture systems in the Northeastern USA. 

The project began with an inventory of self-identified silvopasture practitioners and resulted in nine case study videos of a wide range of farms utilizing pigs, sheep, goats, cattle, and poultry in their farming systems. 

Videos are released biweekly and can be viewed on the Farming with Trees YouTube channel and website. The final video will be released on March 1. 

On March 22 from 12:30 - 2pm, Wellspring Forest Farm will host a live panel discussion via ZOOM with four of the farmers where participants are invited to join and ask questions of the farmers. 

Participating farms include:

• Eric Shatt of RedByrd Orchard, Trumansburg NY
• John Hopkins, forester from Susquehanna Tree Care, and former owner of Forks Farm, PA
• Charlize and Bru Katzenbach of Sweet Sourland Farm, NJ
• Lisa Reilich of Painted Pepper Farm, ME

Attendance is free and open to the public. 

We encourage you to watch the videos ahead of time and come with questions:
