Appalachian Forest Farming Coalition

The Appalachian Forest Farmer Coalition (AFFC), formerly known as the Appalachian Beginning Forest Farmer Coalition, is a network of forest farmers, forestland owners, universities, and governmental and non-governmental organizations that share a common goal of improving agroforestry production opportunities and farming capabilities among forest farmers.

Our collective aim is to increase awareness of forest-grown medicinal, edible plants and other non-timber forest products (NTFPs) through education and relationship building, and support conservation efforts through stewardship of existing plant populations and forest farming of native botanicals.

The AFFC website is home to a clearinghouse of forest farming resources, community calendar, initiatives, youtube video channel, and more. Visit appalachianforestfarmers.org.
