 Join farmers from across the United States and Canada as we visit innovative and successful growers and marketers in our Annual Summer Tour. Our headquarters hotel will be the Four Points Sheraton Hotel, Chicago, so you may want to book a few extra days to see the lake front and other attractions in this beautiful city.
We will see a broad variety of strawberry farms, markets, tunnel projects, and have a lot of opportunity to talk with the growers, and for everyone to share ideas and perspectives. We'll also see the new Filtrexx growing system in production, which uses a growing sock that can utilize different soil or growing media.

 This year's NASGA Annual Meeting and Conference will begin on December 7 with our workshops and educational sessions for strawberry growers, meeting in Grand Rapids, Michigan as part of the starting day of the Great Lakes Expo.
The Great Lakes Expo actually gets under way on Tuesday, December 8, through the 10th, and there will be additional berry sessions as part of the expo's program.
This should be an excellent opportunity for our membership to attend our annual meeting as well as one of North America's largest farm trade shows. More than 300 exhibitors are available at this conference, along with three full days of educational workshops on a variety of topics, from growing to farmers' markets, to managing your web site.
