ABOUT OUR NURSERY
The Forest Exchange is a nursery producing trees and shrubs for agroforestry practices.
We offer plants with exceptional traits for food production, habitat creation, and climate resilience.
We believe that woody plants play a vital role in a future that is resilient to climate change.
They help us to imagine abundant futures where food literally falls from the sky.


The nursery is located in Delaware County NY, on the north-western edge of the Catskill Mountains, in a valley where the Susquehanna and Delaware watersheds meet.
We have both spent all our lives in these two watersheds,
which have been tended to for thousands of years by the people of the Lenape Nation and Haudenosaunee Confederacy.
Our Offerings
We offer bare root and containerized plants and hardwood cuttings from carefully selected cultivars. Some are named (Thomas black walnut, and Wyldewood elderberry for instance) others are exceptional wild specimens.
We encourage biodiversity in our nursery, including beneficial insects and fungi in order to minimize the use of external disease and pest management inputs.
You can purchase plants in our online store for most of the year. During the warmer months, we attend pop up plant sales and offer on farm pickup for containerized trees and shrubs. During the winter, you can purchase "bare root" plants online for spring shipping. We also sell wholesale to farms, garden centers, and landscape designers. The farm is not open for drop-in sales at this time. Sign up for our newsletter and follow us on social media for the latest info!
