Steve Gabriel is an ecologist, farmer, educator, and author based in the Finger Lakes of New York. Along with his family, he stewards Wellspring Forest Farm, growing mushrooms and experimenting with agroforestry systems while healing the land for the past 15 years.

His curiosity stems from a love for the woods, the desire to see humans heal and reconnect, and the intersection of the practical and spiritual dimensions of farming.

Steve is the author of Silvopasture (2019), co-author of Farming the Woods (2014), and author of the forthcoming The Integrated Mushroom Farmer (Spring 2027).

When not farming or writing, he enjoys teaching, working with youth, playing drums, and spending time in the lakes, streams, and woods he calls home.
