Southern Region Small Fruit Consortium

"The mission of the Southern Region Small Fruit Consortium (SRSFC) is to enhance collaborative efforts between small fruit growers and grower organizations, industries and service organizations allied with and/or serving small fruit growers, agricultural extension programs and research stations working together to enhance the development of the small fruit industries in the region."

The quote above which is slightly modified from the original form, is taken from the website of the The Southern Region Small Fruit Consortium (SRSFC). The SRSFC is sponsored by seven Universities in the southern US including, North Carolina State University, University of Georgia, University of Arkansas, Clemson University, University of Georgia, University of Tennessee and VA Polytechnic Institute and State University.

Every four months, a newsletter is published online by the SRSFC. The newsletter usually has several articles on recent research or extension information as well as checklists for several small fruit crops. The SRSFC also has a great website that includes IPM and production guides for small fruit crops grown in the region.
