About this event
This workshop is aimed at training growers considering production of different small fruits grown for direct market outlets (tailgate markets, farm stands, CSA, etc.). Craig Mauney, Area Specialized Agent, Commercial Fruit and Vegetable Production will lead the group at each farm in discussing production practices for growing a variety of small fruit in the region.
Specific topics include cultivar selection, site establishment (soil conditions and planting), fertilization, irrigation, pruning, harvesting, and resources for pest control. Workshop includes a lecture followed by a demonstration of how to prune blueberry bushes properly.
