Membership Meetings
Our membership growers meetings meet three times a year in January, April, and
September. These meetings are held at local restaurants including the Country
Roadhouse Grill in Chaffee and Papa Jakes in Springville. The purpose of these
meetings are for us to share ideas, current trends in the industry, and how we
implement these ideas at our farms. We usually have a guest speaker that shares
they’re knowledge and the latest information in the tree industry. Membership dues
are $20 per year. New members always welcome!
Summer Farm Tour
Each summer usually in late June early July, we have a yearly farm tour hosted by
one of our group members. This hands-on educational session is a great learning
experience for everyone. The day includes a tour of the owner’s farm, hands on
learning sessions, guest speakers, barbecue, and general membership meeting.
The host farm and the summer farm tour agenda is announced and scheduled at the
September or January meetings.
Erie County Fair
Every summer during the month of August the tree growers proudly promote the real tree industry at the largest fair in
New York State and the 10th largest fair in North America, the Erie County Fair. At our tent setup we provide the
public with brochures from our state and local organizations that give the latest helpful information for tree growing
and a list of our individual farms. We also have a display of trees, wreaths, and live trees from our members as well.
Our booth is located near gate 5 in between the Grange and the Historical Society Buildings. This year’s fair runs
from August 10th - 21st, 2016.
Plantasia Landscape Show
In the months of March and April we have a booth at the Plantasia Landscape Show. The show is located on the Erie
County Fairgrounds in the Event Center (Agri-Center) and the Expo Hall. Our booth is located in the Expo Hall. At
our booth we provide the public with brochures from our state and local organizations that give helpful information for
tree growing and a list of our individual farms. Since this show is a landscape show, we also provide information on
landscaping services and landscape trees that most of our members provide. This year’s landscape show runs from
March 31st - April 3, 2016.
