In addition to attending the Great Lakes Expo<\/a>, UVM Ag Engineering attended the New England\u00a0Vegetable & Fruit Conference<\/a> in Manchester, NH. This conference\u00a0is very well suited for the small-scale and highly diversified farmers that populate the North East.<\/p>\n

This conference is filled with a variety of vendors at the trade show, presentations covering specific details of individual crops and varieties, and even talks on designing your\u00a0farm with an eye on food safety. Another interesting activity that went on was the\u00a0farmer to farmer sessions that are not presentations but a lead conversation to discuss what works and what doesn’t on your farm. A lot of tips, tricks, and common complaints\u00a0are all brought up and shared during this literally circled up conversation.<\/p>\n

If you’ve never been here are a few photos from the event, which was very snowy in mid-December.<\/p>\n
