The North American Fruit Explorers (NAFEX) is an excellent organization to join for anyone interested in growing, evaluating, developing, improving, discovering and appreciating fruits and nuts. Some of their members “grow and explore the potential of under-utilized species.” We invite members of NAFEX (and others) to contribute relevant information to this website. Members of NAFEX receive a quarterly publication of e-mail communications among members (POMONA).

Two books recommended by Carandale Farm:
Uncommon Fruits for Every Garden, by Lee Reich
The Berry Grower’s Companion, by Barbara L. Bowling
(both books published by Timber Press)
