Perennial Agriculture Project

The Perennial Agriculture project is intended to be a compilation of valuable, up to date resources related to perennial crops being grown in the county and surrounding areas. We hope that having this information in one place will make the process of deciding whether or not to grow any of these crops an easier, more concise process.
