Want to Grow Fruit? Small Fruits for Kentucky

Blake Cothron Pre-Conference Workshop - Thursday, January 25, 2024 Recorded during the OAK 2024 Conference in Frankfort, KY, January 25th-27th Kentucky farmers continue to show a strong interest in small fruit production and building their practical understanding of growing small fruits and berries successfully and profitably to meet consumer demand. This workshop will dive into Kentucky-oriented strategies, organic pest and disease management, and considerations for Kentucky’s challenging fruit-growing climate. Participants will learn the species and varieties that have the best success rates and marketability within a wide range of small fruits: blackberry, raspberry, strawberry, honeyberry, gooseberry, elderberry, black currant, passionflower, grapes, Aronia and cold hardy figs. Through demonstrations and a hands-on opportunity to start an elderberry cutting, participants will leave with both the knowledge and plant material to begin their own fruit-growing endeavor. This workshop will equip participants with the skills to become organic fruit producers.
