Good afternoon. The UVM Fruit Program is conducting a survey to assess the state of the apple industry in Vermont in 2025. We are looking to gain insight into the direction that Vermont orchards are headed, as there have been new practices, cultivars, and rootstocks introduced over the past fifty years. As members of the VTFGA your knowledge and experience in these areas is very valuable to us.<\/p>\n

It has been 14 years since we have done a comprehensive assessment of the state of Vermont\u2019s orchard industry and we want to gauge grower\u2019s satisfaction and future intentions around the dwarfing rootstocks, cultivars, and other aspects of growing, such as crop diversification and value-added products.<\/p>\n

The information collected from this survey will be anonymous and will be made available as a public resource.<\/p>\n

The responses from this survey will help us to gain a firm understanding of the direction the VT orchard industry is moving and will inform us of the action steps we need to take now as a university, as a research facility, and as a community resource, so that we are prepared with the experience and tools necessary to answer growers’ questions in the future.<\/p>\n

Thank you,<\/p>\n

Eli Wilson. M.S. student<\/p>\n
