Protect your plants from deer & accelerate growth

We highly recommend PLANTRA products for protecting our nursery trees & shrubs from deer, rabbits and other critters, and to accelerate growth.

For hazelnuts and other shrubs we recommend 2ft or 3ft Plantra Tree Tubes (although in cases of severe deer browse you can use 5ft Vented Tree Tubes to get the terminal shoot past the browse line and then remove the tube to allow the shrub to spread).

For Chinese chestnuts and other trees we recommend 4ft or 5ft Vented Tree Tubes.

Welcome to FOREST AGRICULTURE ENTERPRISES!

We are Redesigning Agriculture in Nature’s image.
The edible woody crops enthusiasts!

       In a world of deforestation, global climate change, species extinction, world hunger, soil erosion and oceanic “dead zones”, peak oil and economic meltdown, one begins to wonder if anything GOOD is being done about these issues. Rather than complain that “somebody ought to do something”, Forest Agriculture Enterprises has taken matters into its own hands… and, in turn, helps put them into yours.

      Our edible woody crops nursery specializes in cold hardy, disease resistant woody crops that are selected to thrive in Certified Organic and Permaculture systems. Our Permaculture nursery is the site of ongoing breeding and research with an emphasis on our own American and Hybrid Hazelnuts, Chinese and Hybrid Chestnuts, Cold Hardy Persian Walnuts,
Pine Nuts and more!


Our Mission:
       Our mission at Forest Agriculture Enterprises is to help people and organizations to do something positive and REAL to change the world. One way to do this is to plant trees. Not just any trees, however, but trees that produce food, medicines, fuels and fiber.  And not just trees!, but shrubs, vines, canes… in fact, entire ecosystems!

        By intentionally designing and planting perennial ecosystems, we remove carbon dioxide from the air, provide habitat for wildlife, produce food, prevent soil erosion, and begin the creation of ecologically sustainable human habitats. Permaculture, Agroforestry, Eco-Agriculture, Reconciliation Ecology, Restoration Agriculture … call it what you will, Forest Agriculture Enterprises is here to provide the plants, technical assistance and equipment to help create a healthier, more ecologically sustainable world for all.
