This session will be held tomorrow (Saturday, Jan. 21) at the University of Delaware Paradee Center in Dover.
9:00 a.m.—12:00 p.m.
All small-scale vegetable and fruit growers and market gardeners are invited to attend a roundtable discussion session on production and marketing of fruits and vegetables. Fruit and vegetable specialists and extension agents from the University of Delaware and Delaware State University will be on hand to answer questions and lead discussion. Topics will include sustainable production practices, new and alternative crops, managing pests, season extension, finding and growing markets, and opportunities to take advantage of the growing “buy local” movement. Time will also be dedicated to sharing information between growers – what works for you, what doesn’t, tool and machinery adaptations, innovative production techniques, and much more.
12:00 p.m.—1:15 p.m.
Potluck Lunch
All participants are encouraged to bring a dish to share for lunch and to continue informal discussions.
