About Us
Membership is open to anyone that grows fruit or has an interest in growing tree fruit and berries.
The Connecticut Pomological Society began in February 1891 when a group of sixteen peach growers met to discuss the formation of the Society. In December 1891, forty growers met, elected a president, and began annual meetings.
The purpose of the Society is the advancement of the science and art of fruit growing, and the mutual improvement and business advantage of its members.
