Stay tuned for our 2025 schedule of events to include our Ask an Expert webinar series, ASCFG Conference & Trade Show, farm tours, and more!

The ASCFG will host seven Regional Conferences throughout North America during 2024. The purpose of these two day regional conferences is to celebrate and highlight local excellence and expertise, and to connect ASCFG members with other growers in their regional community. While each gathering will vary in content and format, and will be informed by close collaboration with each ASCFG Regional Director, all events will include a farm tour, educational speaker sessions, and plenty of time to make connections.
