Taking Grazing to New Heights: Trees for Profit and Conservation
Austin Unruh is the founder and CEO of Trees For Graziers, a company
helping farmers in Pennsylvania and beyond take their grazing to new heights
using silvopasture. It’s his goal to make silvopasture as easy and cost
effective as possible for farmers, which is why TFG offers everything from
planning and funding acquisition to planting and aftercare, while also growing
silvo-specific nursery stock.
When not thinking about silvopasture, Austin’s favorite activity is picking all
manner of tree crops with his young family.
