View Sponsorship Opportunities
Apple Social
Please join us at this casual networking event for all apple industry folks from Western NY, proudly sponsored by Valent. There will just a brief introduction of the Lake Ontario Fruit Program. Each of the four specialists will share their programming areas, along with their current research and extension projects (3 minutes per person). The goal is to get folks meeting one another in a more casual environment than structured educational programs. We would especially encourage young/new growers, processing growers, and folks who may not be very familiar with Cornell Cooperative Extension's Lake Ontario Fruit Program to join us.
Food and beverages will be available.
Some new equipment will be displayed, including the latest in John Deere, with Erik Quanbeck of LandPro.
Note to vendors - if you are interested in displaying any equipment at either venue, please contact Craig Kahlke (contact info below).
Come when you can, stay as long as you'd like!
Please preregister at the link above or with Craig Kahlke by phone/text (585-735-5448) or email cjk37@cornell.edu
