An Edible Forest in the Finger Lakes

SHEF’s MISSION

Slate Hill Edible Forest (SHEF) is a 27 acre permaculture orchard, plant nursery, and research farm located in Marcellus, New York. Started in 2020 by Kevin and Zach, the farm’s main goal is to create a sustainable, enduring fruit orchard and botanical collection that can adapt to the changing climate and serve as a teaching tool for the future of farming.
