Presented by CCE Eastern NY Commercial Horticulture Program
During the course of four sessions, horticultural experts and farmers will describe the possibilities and challenges associated with growing these lesser known crops. Specifics include site selection, production systems, pest issues, post-harvest requirements, recommended cultivars, and market considerations.
The first session will focus on understanding crop attributes that make commercialization possible followed by a site selection discussion. After that we will delve directly into the plants which will include:
- Ribes
- Elderberry
- Aronia
- Hardy Kiwi
- Hascap
- Amelanchier
- Ericaceae
- Shisandra
- Sea Buckthorn
- Paw paw
- Persimmon
- Figs
Additional plants may be added as requested and as speakers knowledge allows.
There will be downloadable resources provided to accompany all topics and webinars will be recorded and available for registered attendees.
This series of four workshops is $35/person or farm business. Please do not share the link beyond your farm business. Avid home gardeners are welcome to participate, but please understand that the focus will be commercialization of these crops.
