Join specialists Anya Osatuke, Janet Van Zoeren, Anna Wallis, and Robert Haddad for a conversation about fruit and berry phenology and pest management and food safety. This is the last fruit and berry twilight meeting of 2024!

This series of monthly meetings will examine seasonal changes in tree fruit and berry crops, demonstrate scouting techniques, and discuss integrative pest management solutions to maximize the health and productivity of berry and fruit plantings. Robert Haddad joins us to cover food safety for berry and fruit growers, from water testing to food packaging.

Meetings will now be held from 6:30PM – 8:30PM on the last Thursday of every month, from April through July. Attendees are encouraged to bring pictures or descriptions of pests they are concerned about on their farm.
