    Free Online Workshop

    with the giving grove


    Grapes are exciting and tasty fruits to plant and can grow in many USDA Hardiness Zones! However, keeping this vine fruit well-maintained and healthy can be intimidating.
    Join us as we learn from Program Managers Fred Conrad (Food Well Alliance in Atlanta) and Dean Gunderson (Seed St. Louis) as they discuss different grapes from Muscadine (V. rotundifolia) to hybrid species.

    You will learn basic facts and maintenance and get recommendations on what to consider.

    In this free virtual workshop join orchard stewards from across the country to learn skills together that can be used locally. Bring your questions - we will work with your city's team to answer them.

    This one-hour class takes place on Wednesday, March 20th at 12:30 pm CST


    We look forward to a grape time with you :)

                  EXPLORING the Benefits of                AGRITOURISM & VALUE ADDED PRODUCTS

    MARCH 26th, 2024
    VIRTUAL WEBINAR
    6:00 pm - 7:30 PM


    Are you thinking about expanding your farm business in a unique and creative way? Join us as we discuss some of the many options for diversifying your income through Agritourism and other services and value-added products. Agritourism refers to people visiting working farms or other agricultural operations for the purpose of enjoyment, education, or other active involvement.  Agritourism encompasses a wide variety of activities and provides a means for farmers to diversify and supplement their income.

    Using resources from TCLF (Texas Center For Local Food) and conversation with local producers for this class we will help you determine whether value-added products and/or agritourism is a good fit for you and your farm's success! The webinar's presenters include: 

    • Helen Dulac, an award wining jam queen and GROW North Texas staff member
    • Greg Joel, Farm Manager of Opal's Farm in Tarrant County,
    • Kimberly High owner of Joppy Momma's Farm in South Dallas,
    • Hyiat El-Jundi, Executive Director of F.A.R.M. and an experienced farmer with a wealth of knowledge about implementing agritourism as a business model
