Propagate is an agroforestry project developer and operator helping farms integrate commercial tree crops, especially chestnuts, into working landscapes. We design, establish, and manage tree based farming systems that can be paired with pasture, annual crops, livestock, or ecological buffers to improve resilience, soil health, and long term farm economics.

Propagate provides the technical and operational support that makes agroforestry repeatable at commercial scale. Our work spans planning, technical assistance, project development, and long term management to reduce risk for farmland owners, growers, and partners to help turn tree crops into reliable agricultural production.

Founded in 2017, Propagate has supported agroforestry planning on more than 55,000 acres across the United States. Through regional hubs in New York and Kentucky, we have planted more than 250,000 trees and own and operate a 580 acre agroforestry portfolio across New York, Tennessee, Ohio, and Kentucky. Propagate is a Techstars alum, an Elemental Impact portfolio company, and has been recognized twice on the Inc. 5000 list.
