We encourage our members to consider participating in domestic and international exchange programs for young fruit growers. We also offer tours of local, domestic and international facilities and farms.
A group of young growers first visited the remote mountain village of Talolinga, Nicaragua in 2010. Struck by the many challenges the farmers there face, they decided to partner with Project Gettysburg-León (PGL) to initiate an Agricultural Extension Project.
Young growers are encouraged to look beyond their farm boundaries and participate in an exchange program.
Past tours that YGA members have taken - local, national and international.
There are many opportunities for young growers to get leaderships skills as well as other professional development opportunities.
