Educational Program for Grape Growers

Moderator: Hemant Gohil, Gloucester County Ag Agent

The 2018 Ag Convention & Trade Show features a Wine Grape session on Wednesday morning, February 7, 2018. Wine grape experts will present topics related to growing wine grapes in New Jersey. Wine grape presentations are being held from 9:30 AM-12:30 PM.

Topics and speakers include:

  • Avoiding Costly Mistakes During the Early Years (Hemant Gohil)
  • Case Study – What Worked and What Didn’t (Bill Heritage)

If you are interested in establishing a vineyard or farming wine grapes, we highly encourage you attend this workshop. Experienced grape growers can also benefit. Re-certification credits will be awarded.

Daily passes cost $50 per person per day. However, if you become a member of the NJ Vegetable Growers Association before Feb. 1, it costs $100 annually and two people receive passes for all convention days and gain access to the Tuesday evening social. See the NJ Agricultural Convention & Trade Show link for details.

Take this excellent opportunity to learn critical information about growing wine grapes in New Jersey and consider the possibilities.
