NYNGA joins the NNGA's 111th Annual Meeting Aug 7-10

The NYNGA has opted to support and promote the conference jointly serving as the Northern Nut Growers Association 111th Annual Meeting and the Chestnut Growers of America Conference in lieu of a 2022 summer meeting. The conference will be held close to New York at the Berks campus of Penn State University, in Reading, PA, from August 7 - 10. The agenda includes two days of presentations and a wide range of associated field trip options all focused on nut growing and nut culture. Several of our members will give presentations and we will get together for social events. This joint meeting is an excellent opportunity for our membership to engage more broadly with experienced growers and scientists working outside of New York State.
