About

Breadtree Farms is a certified organic farm based in Johnsonville, New York, managing 84 acres of land where we steward over 25,000 food-producing trees and shrubs including chestnuts, hickory, oak, and fruit trees. We specialize in agroforestry practices such as silvopasture, which combines tree cultivation with rotational grazing of sheep and cattle to enhance soil health, sequester carbon, and promote biodiversity. Our operations include drying, shelling, milling, and chestnut processing, supporting food system development and sustainable agriculture. We focus on conserving soil, cycling fertility naturally, managing pests with ecological methods, and building habitat for wildlife. Our farm produces chestnuts, honey, maple syrup, and future crops like hickory oil and persimmons, aiming to create resilient, regenerative food systems that serve regional needs and climate goals.
