What is the Northwest Vegetable and Berry Farmers Conference?

The Northwest Vegetable and Berry Farmers Conference is an annual education event sponsored by the North Willamette Horticulture Society, which is a group of farmers, OSU Extension agents, and other agricultural professionals. The conference is offered each January to share the latest news in organic and conventional vegetable and berry production. Speakers come from near and far, from local farmers and Oregon State University Extension researchers to national (and sometimes international) experts.

Exhibitors share their latest technology, products, and cultivars with conference attendees.

The Clackamas Soil and Water Conservation District has been a long-time supporter of this annual event. District staff provides valuable information to conference attendees in both the trade showroom and in presentations or panel discussions. Professional suppliers including seed and amendment producers, equipment distributors, and organizations who support Oregon agriculture also attend this popular event each year as exhibitors. As a bonus, pesticide re-certification credits are typically offered to participants.
