We are offering both in-person trainings and Zoom On-line trainings this winter.

In-Person Trainings -Our list of scheduled in-person trainings is provided below.  Please select the training you would like to attend and call the number provided to register for the class.  You must pre-register for the training to attend - our COVID precautions do not allow walk-ins on the day of the training at this time.  Each training lists the maximum number of growers that may attend due to social distancing and space limitations.

Zoom On-line Trainings - Registration for these trainings will be handled solely through Eventbrite. A link to registration for each individual training is provided below. A link to the Zoom meeting will be included in the bottom section of the Eventbrite receipt emailed to registrants. You must click on that link on the day of the training to attend.  Please note that you must register and also attend the Zoom training to receive credit. Refunds will be issued to anyone registering but not able to sign in to the event. No checks or other payment will be accepted after the meeting has occurred.

There is an option to purchase a second ticket if two spouses or a parent/child will be attending a training using the same computer.  A single grower cannot receive credit for more than 2 hours for a single training.  A maximum of 50 growers will be allowed in any training.  If you find that a particular training is sold out, please select another one.

If you have never used Zoom before you may like to read our Simple Zoom Installation Instructions for Computers, which contains helpful images.  You may also go to the Zoom download link at https://zoom.us/download#client_4meeting before the meeting to download the Zoom program (this will only need to be done once).  Growers using a smart phone to view the meeting should go to the download link above to install the Zoom mobile app for their phones.
