252: #GrowQuince Tips | Part 2

#GrowQuince - it is easy to do!

In late 2019, Vermont Quince Company was awarded USDA-funded Specialty Crop Block Grant Program funding through the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets (VAAFM) to support commercial and backyard growers by compiling and disseminating resources and expertise about growing quince in New England. The #GrowQuince is helping to spotlight this forgotten fruit

On March 8, 2020, the #GrowQuince initiative kicked off in West Townshend with a roundtable discussion featuring regional quince growers, followed by a scion exchange. This episode and the upcoming episode 253 is from the West Townsend forum.

Part 1 #GrowQuince - Disease/Pest Management  

Nan provides an overview of the #GrowQuince goals and then renown horticulturist Zeke Goodband who has extensive experience growing quince for over 25 years leads this conversation.
