The Cornell Cooperative Extension Lake Ontario Summer Fruit Tour in Western NY will be held on July 18. We will feature tree fruit production technology and grower innovations on cutting edge farms in Niagara County. At the regional tours, we typically reach 250 growers from across the state and beyond.
LOF is also excited to be partnering with the Young Fruit Growers of Western NY (formerly the Future Fruit Growers of Lake Ontario), an exciting group that is becoming very well organized, to offer the 2019 Young Grower Study Trip to the Hudson Valley August 5 - 7.
