International Exchanges for Young Growers - New Zealand
Gary Jones of Pipfruit New Zealand coordinates a World Youth Exchange Program for young apple and pear growers. Placements last about one month, and the program is always seeking host farms.
Program participants of New Zealand Young Horticulturist of the Year continue to express interest in connecting with young specialty crop growers in the U.S. In 2009, YGA visited and met that year's Young Horticulturist winner.
