Registration for the 2021 NSFGA Virtual Annual Convention is now open!  It will be held Wednesday, January 27, 2021 with the theme Sweet & Sour: The Business of Growing Great Fruit.

The NSFGA Annual General Meeting will be held virtually through ZOOM on Wednesday, January 13th from 1:00-2:00.  As members, this is your time to find out what the Association has been doing for the year. 

We are excited to announce that NSFGA, in partnership with HNS, is going to host a virtual Annual Convention for January 27, 2021 as Covid-19 is still very much with us. We are just in the process of finalizing details with the platform provider and will update you very soon. 

This year the NSFGA Annual Summer Tour is virtual for the first time ever. Each year the tour alternates between visiting orchards on the east and west side of the Valley as a way for Nova Scotia growers to learn local technical and research information. This year the tour is on the east side of the Valley.

Here's a sneak peek at the Nova Scotia Fruit Growers' Association's most innovative tour yet. Grab a front row seat with your host Michelle Cortens, Tree Fruit Specialist at Perennia.

Unfortunately, because of the uncertainty surrounding whether or not we will be able meet in large groups for a while, it has been decided to cancel the Nova Scotia Fruit Growers 2020 orchard tour.

The Department of Lands and Forestry (L&F) recognizes burning brush is an important part of orchard sanitation needed to reduce disease pressures for a growing season.  Burning for this purpose has been vetted through the provincial Fire Operations Committee and Regional Services director team. 

A message from Maylia Parker (Director, Air Quality and Resource Management)

The workshop set to occur on March 17th and 18th is cancelled.
