Information

Join us for the first OGS Forest Farming event of the year!

Explore various ways to integrate tree crops into farm and forest landscapes through a hands-on workshop and tour at A Way of Life Farm.  We will demonstrate and practice basic grafting principles, and each participant will graft their own apple or pear tree to bring home.

We will tour the farm’s tree crops–including pawpaw, chestnut, persimmon, and pecan–and discuss how to establish new trees into a silvopasture or orchard, graft onto existing trees, and site considerations for planning.
