The Appalachian Beginning Forest Farmer Coalition (ABFFC) and partners have joined forces to put together this special webinar series for intermediate and experienced forest farmers* who want to learn more about common non-timber forest products (NTFPs) and expand their understanding of forest farming practices.

Each webinar in this series will bring together our best experts in the field, experienced forest farmers, and learning resources. Together we will explore common NTFP species and topics in-depth, as well as engage in discussions with experienced forest farmers with years of specialized expertise.

This first webinar in the series is

"Tree Saps & Syrups 201: A Deeper Tap into Species, Processes, and Products"

All woman line-up!!

Kate Fotos of Future Generations University

Britney Hervey Farris of Family Roots Farm

Rachel Taylor of Frostmore Farm

Missy Moyers-Jarrells of Laurel Fork Sapsuckers

Join Kate and a panel of producers as they step into the world of saps and syrups produced from maple and other tree species. Learn how production processes vary by species to ensure quality, and take a tour of the latest technologies and value-added strategies.

Kate will present first, followed by a panel discussion and time for questions.

Hosted on Zoom, the webinar will take place live at 6:00 PM EST on February 10, 2022.

*While these webinars are more in-depth than most of our beginner level website resources, we invite beginner forest farmers, and those who are less familiar with these species to review our NTFP modules to learn about the basics prior to our webinars. Each module will include videos or playlists, publications and articles that would be helpful in bringing a beginner up-to-speed for these in-depth discussions. These modules are on our ABFFC website at https://www.appalachianforestfarmers.org/forestfocus
