Farmers, school teachers, and anyone interested in local farming may be interested in attending the University of Florida’s Fruit and Vegetable Production Conference on November 6th.

Speakers will talk about ways to revitalize your local economy through local produce. The conference will also focus on how to establish, market and manage fruits and vegetables in central Florida.

In a recent article, Orange County Extension Director Richard Tyson said, “Farmers will find three important elements in this event: classroom education, recommendations from actual growers, and on-site demonstrations.”
