Elodie Eid is a forager and farmer who has a strong passion for bringing more nut crops to local food systems. She was first introduced to forest ecology at Binghamton University where she obtained a bachelor’s in Environment Science. Her deep passion for tree crops and food forests was inspired in part by her experience with Akiva Silver at Twisted Tree Farm, and she has always kept a small nursery of her own. Now at Arthur’s Point Farm in Ghent, NY, she is able to live out her passions by propagating trees and connecting growers in the Northeast.
