The Finger Lakes Grape Program provides grape growers with research-based information to help improve profitability, product quality, and business sustainability. This is accomplished through a number of varying means of outreach, including direct e-mails, periodic newsletters, conferences, field meetings, and web-based content.
Outreach and Extension Focus
The Finger Lakes Grape Program provides unbiased, research-based information to the region’s grape growers in areas including vineyard and pest management practices, new vineyard establishment, farm business management and marketing and business development as a means of supporting the industry’s growth and long-term sustainability. The FLGP disseminates this information by variety of means, including printed and electronic communications, field meetings and workshops, and an annual winter conference.
