Berries and more!
Growing small fruits on your homestead is an easier and quicker way to harvest fruit on your farm or homestead. Compared to fruit trees, these plants usually do not require the same length of time to establish, so your harvests can begin in the same season as planting or the next growing season. Learn about small fruit production as we discuss:
- Basic production of blueberries, brambles, and strawberries
- Home garden and edible landscape applications
The free program is February 22 at 5:30 p.m. at the Jackson County Extension office. Register by calling (618) 687-1727 or visit go.illinois.edu/HomesteadFruits.
