Local authors, teachers and researchers Ken Mudge and Steve Gabriel love the 
forest. They met in the MacDaniels Nut Grove in 2009 when Steve took Ken’s 
Practicum in Forest Farming class at Cornell University. Through the 
frameworks of forest farming and permaculture they found a way to see the 
forest for more than just the trees. The two began working, researching, and 
writing together which resulted in a new book from Chelsea Green Publishing.

Farming the Woods combines Ken’s decades of research and international 
agroforestry experiencewith Steve’s permaculture and farming knowledge to 
offer readers a plethora of concepts and ideas for growing a range of 
non-timber crops in their woods. Mushrooms, medicinals like ginseng and 
goldenseal, fruits, nuts, and wood products along with design and management 
considerations are covered in this book which has been called:

“A must-read for anyone interested in agroforestry, forest gardening, or 
utilizing forests for specialty crops. ” 
—Martin Grawford, author of Creating a Forest Garden

Join Ken and Steve for an evening to celebrate the book and learn about some 
of these crops and the farmers around the US growing them.

Books signed by the authors will be available afterwards for $35.

The event is free.
