The need for social distancing measures has drastically changed operations at the Small Farm Unit, and at CEFS Field Research, Education, and Outreach Facility at Cherry Research Farm.

With more than 5,000 transplants in the greenhouse at the Small Farm Unit since February 2020, it became imperative to find solutions to maintain essential operations to not lose the crop.

We are thankful for having dedicated staff at CEFS Field Research, Education, and Outreach Facility at Cherry Research Farm!
