Annual Conference in Gulf Shores

The Alabama Fruit & Vegetable Growers Association (AFVGA) Annual Conference & Trade Show is held each February in beautiful Gulf Shores, Alabama.

 

Before the conference officially begins, attendees are invited to participate in an “Open House” style farm tour, featuring stops at farms along the route to Gulf Shores. It’s a great way to connect with growers and see innovative practices in action.

 

The conference offers a variety of educational sessions across multiple tracks, covering timely topics and practical insights for fruit and vegetable growers. Whether you're focused on production, marketing, or farm management, there’s something for everyone.

 

The Trade Show brings together a wide range of exhibitors offering products, services, and solutions to support Alabama farmers and enhance their operations.

 

One of the highlights of the event is the networking — especially during the AFVGA Tailgate Party, held with a stunning Gulf view and live music. It’s a relaxed, high-energy evening that brings together growers, industry partners, and friends from across the state.

 

We look forward to seeing you in Gulf Shores for another outstanding AFVGA Conference & Trade Show!”
