Farm Name: Cash Mountain Acres
Farmer: Christopher Cash
Agroforestry Practices: Forest Farming
Agroforestry Acres: 6
Project Summary: Cash Mountain Acres is a rustic, yet inspiring family owned homestead on almost 80 acres, with virgin land dating back to the early 19th century. We established Cash Mountain Acres in 2022 after being blessed with the opportunity to purchase a substantial raw forest tract, with only several acres cleared. This is our journey from the suburbs of the big city to homesteading life. We have dedicated ourselves to conserving the property’s natural resources and wildlife habitat, with its treasures just waiting to be shared with the community. We plan to expand experiences as we progress in our homesteading journey, while evolving the infrastructure for our farm animals, our vast berry gardens and sustainable food forest.
Agroforestry Goals: Want to create a rural fruit forest for both animals and the local area.
Agroforestry Trees and Shrubs: Various fruit and nut trees. Apples, Pears, Medlar, Paw Paw, Pecan, Mulberry, Peach, Goji Berry, Blueberry, Blackberry, Raspberry, Persimmon, Plum, Fig, etc.
