5 answeredThe conference starts on December 15, 2026.
It takes place at DoubleTree by Hilton Downtown in Manchester, New Hampshire.
The stated audience includes growers, Extension professionals, advisors, researchers and industry representatives.
It is most useful for New England vegetable, berry and tree fruit growers, since it runs more than 25 sessions over three days and most sessions pair farmers with Extension or research staff, with Farmer to Farmer discussions after the morning and afternoon sessions.
Growers and Extension staff at winter farm conferences usually wear casual work-style clothes such as jeans, flannel or fleece, with few jackets and ties. Manchester in mid-December is cold, so warm outerwear for moving between the hotel and outdoors is sensible.
