Tailgate Meetings

Our annual series of Tailgate Meetings are held every other Tuesday during the growing season, and are open to all commercial grape growers in the region. These meetings are a time for growers and FLGP staff to come together to discuss what’s going on in the vineyards, ask questions, and learn from each other. There is no set agenda for the most part, so bring questions, observations, thoughts, etc. and let’s talk about them. Bring a chair if you want to. Each meeting has been approved for 1.5 pesticide recertification credits by DEC.
