Grape vineyards are bursting with cold-hardy, disease-resistant fruit. Fields where ARS scientists grow out germplasm collections flourish with tomatoes, onions, celery and other vegetables. Visitors will be able to sample some of the fruits and vegetables and compare the difference in taste between current varieties and their venerable ancestors.
Information stations will also include DNA extractions, pollination demonstrations and a transparent beehive for observing the day-to-day routines in a working bee colony.
ARS is the U.S. Department of Agriculture's chief scientific research agency.
