“In addition to planning the 2010 convention, NAFDMA has coordinated yet another amazing Advanced Learning Retreat,” says Kerry Engel, Alberta representative on the NAFDMA Board of Directors. “Maybe this should be the year that you take in one of the NAFDMA events.

“The 2010 Advanced Learning Retreat is being held at Huber’s Orchards and Winery, Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Huber’s is one of the most complete farms associated with NAFDMA. It will be an incredible learning experience to be able to see how they integrate it all into one business. This is the place to visit before developing a farm’s long range plan.”

A visit to Huber’s will give farmers a chance to visually evaluate options. Huber’s Orchards and Winery has:

  • over 550 acres of tree fruit, small fruit, vegetables, pumpkins, vineyards and Christmas trees
  • a Family Farm Park including animals, pedal carts, mountain slide, gemstone mining, tile, rope, bamboo and corn mazes, and other activities
  • a farm market featuring fresh local produce and outstanding bakery
  • a complete and full service winery with all stages of production and wine making (loft tasting bar and gift shoppe, Starlight distillery, Starlight café)
  • cheese shoppe and ice cream factory
  • Plantation Hall banquet facility
Direct marketers in Alberta who are interested in becoming NAFDMA members can check out the membership page on NAFDMA’s website at www.nafdma.com. The site includes access to the audio recordings from the 2009 conference in Savannah, Georgia. Registration details can also be found on the NAFDMA site.
