Trees and crops, working together on your land

Vida Verde Agroforestry helps farmers and landowners design productive, resilient land systems that integrate trees with crops and livestock.

What We Do

Agroforestry systems for working farms

Every property is different. We help you identify the right combination of tree-based systems for your land, goals, and operation.

Silvopasture

Integrate trees into grazing land to shelter livestock, improve forage quality, and build long-term soil health. A well-designed silvopasture system pays dividends in animal welfare and pasture productivity.

Alley Cropping

Grow annual or perennial crops between widely spaced tree rows. Trees provide windbreak protection and additional income streams while your primary crops continue growing in the alleys.

Forest Farming & Riparian Systems

Cultivate high-value shade-tolerant crops beneath a managed forest canopy, or establish riparian buffers to protect waterways and build ecological resilience at your farm's edges.

How We Work

Design grounded in how land actually works

Agroforestry is not a one-size solution. Soil type, rainfall patterns, existing vegetation, market access, and your operation's daily rhythms all shape what's possible. We start by understanding your land and your goals, not by fitting you into a template.

Our process moves from site assessment through system design to planting support and long-term management guidance. We work with you through every step, building your own knowledge alongside the system itself.

Why Agroforestry

Trees don't compete with agriculture. Used well, they make agriculture possible for the long term.

Soil that improves over time

Deep-rooting trees cycle nutrients, prevent erosion, and build organic matter in ways annual crops alone cannot.

Multiple income streams

Timber, fruit, nuts, fodder, specialty crops — layered yields buffer against single-market risk and give a farm more ways to stay viable.

Resilience to weather extremes

Windbreaks, shade, and improved water infiltration help operations weather the kinds of variability that have become more common across US farmland.

The Process

How a project takes shape

01

Site Assessment

We visit your land and review soils, topography, hydrology, existing vegetation, and your current operation. What we learn in the field drives every design decision that follows.

02

System Design

Based on your site and goals, we develop a tailored agroforestry plan — species selection, spacing, phasing, and integration with your existing crops or livestock. You receive detailed maps and management guidance.

03

Ongoing Support

Planting is the beginning, not the end. We're available for planting-day support, establishment-period check-ins, and management consultations as your system matures and your questions evolve.
