Forest Forage Farm Tree Service
Diversified regenerative mushroom farm. Top products: gourmet mushrooms, fresh vegetables, herbs and flowers. Forest Forage Farm, established in 2019 in the High Country of Western North Carolina/Tennessee, operates as a diversified regenerative farm that uniquely integrates professional arboriculture with sustainable agricultural practices. Founded by Joseph Delventhal, a specialist in sustainable development and agroecology, the farm centers its mission on environmental wellness and local food-system resilience. Their mushroom production is deeply connected to their land management services, utilizing wood resources from tree service operations to inoculate logs for cultivation. This circular approach minimizes waste while maximizing ecosystem productivity. The farm cultivates a diverse array of gourmet mushrooms alongside seasonal vegetables, herbs, and flowers, catering primarily to direct-to-consumer markets through local engagement. Beyond food production, the operation serves as an educational hub, hosting community potlucks and workshops focused on permaculture and ecological stewardship, reflecting their commitment to training informed land stewards.
