Join UMass Extension and Parlee Farms for a twilight meeting! We'll tour the farm on a hayride and follow the talks with a light supper and strawberry shortcake dessert.

He'll discuss his use of the automated system for frost protection in strawberries during the May 18 freeze event. Representatives from Toro and Brookdale Irrigation Supplies will also be there to answer questions.
