The Quad-County Walnut Institute will be held March 6, 2026 at the Robert J. Cabral Ag Center in Stockton. As in previous years, we are partnering with the California Walnut Board and Commission to host a two session event. The first session will have presentations from various experts and researchers and the second session will be for the board, commission, and attendants to discuss industry interests and other topics of importance. Growers, CCAs, PCAs, and other agricultural professionals who work with California walnuts are encouraged to attend.
Coffee and donuts in the morning. Lunch is being provided by the California Walnut Board and Commission.
