1/18/2024 - We have a wonderful program developed for the Winter Vegetable Conference in Asheville, NC on Feb. 21-22, 2024. We added a whole new session specifically for the smaller scale, direct market farmer in WNC. Sessions include Making the Most of Your High Tunnel, Crowdbreeding Dwarf Tomatoes, a farmer panel on Wholesale Organic Tomato Production, Adding Cut Flowers to Your Crop Mix, Diversification Strategies, Farmers Market Vendors, Producing Seeds for Regional Seed Companies, and Cover Cropping for Vegetables. In addition, in the regular sessions, there will be one on Using Drones for Precision Weed Control. Check it out on our Eventbrite page.

This conference is sponsored by the NC Tomato Growers Association. NC Extension personnel are responsible for the educational program.
