Workshop Information
We have designed this fruit school to present the current science of physiology. We encourage participation of industry members who need a refresher and those where this is their first exposure to the topic. We hope by offering simultaneous English Spanish translation* that a broad audience participates. *Minimum requirement of five Spanish attendees per location for translation services to be provided. Spanish translation will not be available at Hood River location.
The fruit school originates from Wenatchee at the CTC. The other locations will be delivered live and will allow for interaction during the Q and A sessions. Pre-registration is required.
