Commercial Horticultural Production

Horticultural production in the Shenandoah Valley continues to experience marked growth in both direct market (farmers markets, CSAs) and wholesale arenas (i.e. Shenandoah Valley Produce Auction, Local Food Hub, etc.).  Given this growing demand, our training addresses various needs related to different types of production systems, season extension, harvest/post-harvest handling, and marketing strategies.
