Good morning:

The New England Fruit and Vegetable Conference, traditionally held every other year in Manchester, NH, will be hosted December 13-17 in an online format- the in-person conference will return next year. There are two sessions on tree fruit (Tuesday 12/14 and Thursday 12/16), plus several other sessions on fruit, vegetable, soil health, climate change, and other topics that may be of interest. Full details on the conference may be found at: https://nevbga.com/nevfc/.

The New England Fruit Consortium, our loose-knit group of regional Extension workers in the region, will again be hosting (roughly) weekly webinars on topics of interest starting on January 11, with a discussion on the spotted lanternfly. Stay tuned for details and registration information.

The Vermont Tree Fruit Growers Association annual meeting will be held March 1, 12:00-2:00 PM on Zoom.

More information on all of these activities will be forthcoming. In the meantime, throw another log on the fire.
