2025 WV Forest Farming Field Day

Spend a day learning about forest farming with hands-on workshops, engaging presenters, and an expert panel discussion. The 2025 WV Forest Farming Field Day explores the potential of a diversified forest farm to bring sustainable agricultural income while contributing to biodiverse forest ecology.

This full-day event will feature classroom and outdoor sessions in the YMC forest farm and will cover diverse topics. We are finalizing our offerings, and a schedule will be published soon!

Where will you be?

You will be joining us at the Yew Mountain Center, a 500-acre Botanical Sanctuary and educational center. Our mission is to provide programs that explore Appalachian ecology, culture, and the arts while promoting personal and community wellness. We are the home of the West Virginia Forest Farming Initiative and a stop on the Mountain Medicine Trail.

Why Participate?

Network with new and experienced forest farmers. Learn various aspects of starting or expanding a non-timber forest product enterprise.
