Berry Twilight Meeting at Saltbox Farm

This grower gathering, co-sponsored by UNH Extension & NH Vegetable and Berry Growers Association, will offer a holistic look at mid-season berry management for effective crop care. We’ll talk pests—focusing on spotted wing drosophila (SWD) and this season’s monitoring for cranberry and cherry fruit worm. Weed control options will be covered alongside a discussion on soil fertility best practices. Got plants loaded with berries but lacking in foliage? We’ll discuss what that could signal and how to respond. The tour will include raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries.

Come ready to learn and sharpen your berry-growing skills with fellow growers and Extension specialists.
