Getting Ready for Pick-Your-Own — Do’s and Don’ts for the Upcoming Season

Tuesday, May 4, 2021     4:00-5:00 p.m. ET
Online

Join growers and ag service providers from the Northeast for an interactive discussion about what is working and what is not as we prepare to open our farms to visitors for the upcoming pick-your-own season. The berries are ripening and the Covid-19 pandemic is evolving – what does that mean for PYO visitor management this season? What did you do last year that you’ll continue and what will be different this season?

Featuring:

Deb Colitas from Valley Fruits & Veggies in the Lehigh Valley of PA

Claudia Schmidt from Penn State Extension

Lisa Chase from University of Vermont Extension

And YOU! Come ready to share your PYO questions and experiences managing visitors.
