The Alabama Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association’s (AFVGA) annual Conference and Trade Show will have a new date next year.
Normally held each fall, the association will meet next year on Feb. 9-10, 2023, in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
AFVGA Executive Director Blake Thaxton is excited to welcome growers to the Lodge at Gulf State Park for a second year.
“After talking with our board of directors, we decided that pushing the conference date to the slower winter season before the spring rush was the best move for growers across the state,” Thaxton said. “We want to provide quality, timely educational sessions that will help farmers across various specialty crops improve their bottom line.”
The AFVGA conference coincides with the annual meeting for the Alabama Sweet Potato Growers Association.
Registration opens Nov. 1 at AFVGA.com. Contact Thaxton at bthaxton@alfafarmers.org for more information.
AVGFA is an affiliate of the Alabama Farmers Federation, the state’s largest farm organization representing over 330,000 member families.
