OVERVIEW: Want an inside look at some of the new items we've added for 2027?

Join us as we share new inspirations and solutions for your upcoming growing season. Our product managers have selected a shortlist of varieties from our exciting 2027 lineup to share with you.

We grow and trial thousands of varieties on our farm in Maine and on the farms of growing partners across the US and Canada to ensure the highest-quality products. We only select varieties that meet our rigorous standards for flavor, yield, disease resistance, and adaptability.

The same goes for the tools we select or develop—every item in our lineup has been thoroughly tested in real farm conditions.

Learn why we chose these standouts over so many others, and why we hope you'll try them next season. A Q&A session will follow the presentation.
