Sources of Seeds and Planting Stock for Forest Farming

By: Jeanine Davis, Margaret Bloomquist, Katie Learn, Mary Saunders Bulan

Forest farming is an emerging agroforestry practice that fits well in the North Carolina landscape. There is a growing number of forest landowners planting and expanding forest farms with native woodland botanicals (e.g., ginseng, goldenseal, and black cohosh), forest food crops (e.g., ramps and elderberry), and decorative/florist plants (e.g., galax). Finding wholesale suppliers of seeds and planting stock for commercial operations, however, is challenging. We created this publication to help forest farmers find the seeds and nursery stock they are seeking. Companies are listed by region: North Carolina, South, Midwest, and Northeast. This resource will be updated regularly.
