President's Message Good day everyone! The Fall season began unofficially - a few days ago and already we are already experiencing slightly cooler weather. Fall Farm Tours are scheduled in many counties. At our farm, the 2018 two-day farm tour brought almost 400 visitors. It is a great way to promote your business as many of the visitors will return over Christmas. If your county has a farm tour, check in to participating. If you don't have one, talk to your county officials or farm bureau about starting one. The 2019 VCTGA Annual Meeting was a smashing success. John Carroll put together a great program and David and Dreama Huffman hosted all at their Spruce Ridge Farm at the end of the three days. We are already working on a site for the 2020 meeting and hope to make an announcement very soon. Lastly, we are in need of volunteers to staff the VCTGA booth at this year's State Fair. Information on how to sign up is contained elsewhere in this enews. Please help if you can.. It is a great experience and a valuable tool in promoting our industry. As always, please let us know if there is anything you need. Here's to a great Fall season!
