The Mississippi Fruit & Vegetable Growers Association is a
group of commercial fruit and vegetable growers with a vested interest in
promoting the fruit and vegetable industries in Mississippi.
It is coordinated by a Board of Directors (see below) which meets
periodically to chart the path of this group.
Some of the main activities each year are a four-state growers'
conference, a tour to one of our successful local farms, and a 2-day tour to another
part of the country.
For more information, feel free to contact one of the officers
listed on the MFVGA Board of Directors page.
