Our Mission:

Advance forest agriculture, so forests and people thrive together.


VIDEO: our vision for remaking the world with forest agriculture

Our 50 year vision is for forest garden ecosystems to sustainably supply a large portion of all food and forest products people need and use for healthy living. We have a special focus on the eastern United States where the Forested research garden is located. We also offer education and services with worldwide application.

He is passionate about production ecosystems, and brings a background in agronomic science and sustainable landscape design.

He is a regular speaker on forest gardening at venues such as University of Maryland, the U.S. Botanic Garden, and the Maryland Master Gardeners' Conference.
