Wool Bank Forest Farm sits on just over 16 acres in Northwestern Pennsylvania. Replacing a former monocrop hayfield, we will restore biodiversity and conserve natural resources through the cultivation sheep milk, non-timber forest products, pasture-raised poultry, pulses, and natural fibers.
We aim to magnify the link between conservation and local food production. Sustainable farming practices help preserve ecosystems while ensuring the provision of a wider variety of nutrient-dense crops to buyers and eaters.
Wool Bank Forest Farm celebrates the intersection of food production, forestry, and local food consumption through regenerative farming practices and riparian conservation initiatives. This social enterprise is an expansion of Philly Forests.
In 2025, we are establishing an agroforestry system to harness the commodity and wildlife habitat benefits that trees bring to a farming operation. Through the implementation of alley cropping, forest farming, silvopasture, and hedgerows, each good harvested will have benefitted multi-fold from the surrounding biodiversity. Sheep, chickens, and ducks will be rotationally grazed on pasture.
Changing the farming landscape is possible. We’ve done it before.
This is a movement of billions. Whether you’re most comfortable contributing time to help achieve our advocacy goals, money to purchase sustainably-grown goods, or attendance to agroforestry and watershed events, we need you!
