The West Virginia Forest Farming Initiative is a collaborative effort to grow a thriving ecosystem and economy for non-timber forest products and the people who love them in the Mountain State.
The WVFFI was started through a collaborative partnership of six organizations: Appalachian Sustainable Development, Partner Community Capital (formerly the Natural Capital Investment Fund), Rural Action, Sprouting Farms, United Plant Savers, and the Yew Mountain Center.
We are members of the Appalachian Beginning Forest Farmer Coalition. Our work is supported by the Benedum Foundation, the Sacharuna Foundation, and the Beginning Farmers and Ranchers Development Program.
