The Organic Producers Group (OPG) meets once a month, April through July.  This year, a 5th meeting has been scheduled for August.

The meetings focus on organic and sustainable grape growing techniques with grower-to-grower exchange of ideas and practical information. The meetings are held at various host vineyards throughout the county and may include a vineyard tour, equipment demonstration and guest speaker.

Pre-registration is requested as a hosted lunch follows. There is also general discussion on timely pest and disease topics and their organic or sustainable controls and the application for 1.0 CEU of “Other” is in progress.
