Tour the Farm

Agroforestry Tour of New Forest Farm with Mark Shepard

Calling all conservationists, farmers, hunters, gardeners, chefs, permies, biology researchers and inquisitive onlookers. Join us for a full 3-hours of immersion into one of the most famous agroforestry permaculture systems on the planet! Amongst the combinations of our innovative systems for water management, plants and animals, there is loads to experience for whichever lenses you’re looking through!

This is start of tree crops harvesting season where you’ll begin to see hazelnuts from mid-August through September, followed by chestnuts, walnuts, apples, pears, grapes and more! You will also be able to visit our agroforestry “land managers”, our friendly forest-raised pigs, jurassic chickens and guinea hens.

We hope that you’ll find that living amongst your food forest is a way of life that you might enjoy.

Come equipped for all weather. The weather at this time of year is usually beautiful, but make sure you have on hand rain gear, sun gear and comfortable waterproof boots. There is a lot to see, so please arrive at this event on time, as we’ll be getting started promptly at your scheduled time.
