Join us as hundreds of fruit growers gather online for an exciting series of eight interactive sessions with some of North America’s leading fruit growers, breeders, and foragers.

The NAFEX 2025 Virtual Conference features three days of inspiring and informative online sessions, Nov. 6-8, via ZOOM and by phone.

Keynote Address
Author, forager, and wildcrafter Pascal Baudar will lead us on a sensory-rich exploration of the edible landscape—discovering, harvesting, and transforming wild fruits into vivid culinary expressions of place.

Drawing on his bestselling books like The New Wildcrafted Cuisine, The Wildcrafting Brewer, and Wildcrafted Fermentation, as well as his deep engagement with local terroir, Baudar will showcase how sometimes under-appreciated native, non-native and invasive fruits can be preserved, fermented, brewed, and crafted into vinegars, sodas, condiments, and other libations.

Annual Meeting & Member Show and Tell
The conference includes the 2025 NAFEX Annual Meeting and Member Show and Tell on Friday, Nov. 7.

Ask Questions in Real Time or Watch the Recorded Sessions
All sessions will be recorded and posted soon after the conference. Real time participants have the opportunity to ask questions, engage with our speakers, and share information with fellow fruit growers. There is a Q&A after each presentation.
