Episode 84 - Eliza Greenman is a tree crops specialist, horticultural historian and agroforestry practitioner living in Northern Virginia.
Eliza Greenman is a tree crops specialist, horticultural historian and agroforestry practitioner living in Northern Virginia. Her passion is in uncovering our Nation's horticultural tree crops history in order to identify, find, and save a diversity of endangered tree species and cultivars from disappearing. She believes that in giving these trees a human-scale purpose, they have a much better chance of being preserved, understood, and further improved for today's changing times.
In 2018, Eliza created HogTree, a farm business which works to offset livestock feed costs through diversified orchards and tree cropping systems. Today she raises pigs for charcuterie in a young, diversified orchard containing pears, apples, persimmons, chestnuts, oaks, and mulberries. Her small batch charcuterie ships nation-wide from her Hogtree website, www.hogtree.com.
