The Texas New Fruit Grower’s Conference is aimed at educating new and prospective fruit growers through classroom instruction, experiential learning, and peer-to-peer networking. This event exposes individuals with no previous farming or food production experience to an understanding of the unique challenges of managing a fruit orchard and vineyard. Participants will learn how to select an appropriate site, choose crops that grow successfully in their area of Texas, establish a vineyard or orchard, and protect it from some of the unique weather and pest challenges that fruit growers encounter.
