Welcome to the Massachusetts Fruit Growers Association

The Massachusetts Fruit Growers Association (MFGA) is a proponent of fruit growing in Massachusetts and New England. It's membership consists of commercial and hobby fruit growers, industry personnel, extension and university personnel, and other interested persons.

According to it's By-Laws, the mission of the MFGA is "to encourage the growing and marketing of fruits adapted to this climate and all pertaining thereto."

The New England Vegetable & Berry Growers Association, the Massachusetts Fruit Growers' Association, and the New England University Cooperative Extensions host the biennial New England Vegetable & Fruit Conference in Manchester, NH every other year during the month of December.

MFGA supports the fruit industry by:

  • publishing an annual Proceedings of the New England Vegetable & Fruit Conference (formally the New England Fruit Meeting)
  • supporting USApple, the national trade association for the U.S. apple industry
  • and managing a research fund for the UMass Cold Spring Orchard

Fruit growers are urged to join MFGA and support the local fruit industry.
