About Us

CRFG Mission Statement

​The purposes of CRFG shall be to encourage and further public and scientific research, education and preservation of plants worldwide that have edible seeds, fruit, leaves, stems or roots.

The CRFG Central Coast Chapter

We learn from a wide variety of speakers and programs. We visit members' homes, gardens, and orchards. We tour commercial operations. We share growing tips.  We enjoy eating lots of fresh fruits and nuts!

​

Our definition of "Rare Fruit" is rather open. Some of our members have only one or two fruit trees and are trying to get more fruit from these trees! Others own orchards and may run businesses based on those orchards. We have popular plant exchanges at several of our meetings and this is a great way to get started or add to your collection of fruit trees.

​

Guests and visitors are welcome at our almost all of our meetings (our December "Holiday Potluck & Plant Exchange" meeting is members-only. Typical attendance at meetings is between 30 to 40 people. We usually meet on the second Saturday of every month, with the exception of the February Scion Exchange meeting, which is held on the 4th Saturday. The meetings usually start at 1:30 p.m. and rotate to a different location nearly every month.  See our "Calendar" webpage for details.

 

Please check out our meeting manners prior to attending.
