EXPERIENCE THE FINEST IN THE FRESH PRODUCE INDUSTRY.

The Western Growers Annual Meeting is the premier networking event for the fresh produce industry.

Each year, Western Growers brings together this community of owners, families, employees and suppliers to learn and network. By connecting face-to-face with your peers and industry thought leaders, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about the key issues affecting agriculture today.
