Avocado Café is intended to be a meeting of interested avocado growers from California and elsewhere with an open discussion for ideas and inputs. Our organizing committee primarily consists of California growers but also has extension personnel and international members as well. Although we cover the “how to” aspects of avocado farming we are most focused on introducing new concepts and ideas to the avocado community to stimulate further discussion and innovation. We draw upon local, national and international speakers for these sessions. The sessions are recorded and posted to all interested parties on www.avocadosource.com.
