Snohomish County Fruit Society was formed in January 2012. We meet on a monthly basis from September to June to learn about fruit related topics and become better home orchardists and fruit growers. We are a new but growing club that is already seeing a lot of fruit. To find out more information about our club, visit our website at http://snohomishcfs.wordpress.com/ or on Facebook at SCFS on Facebook
