DoubleTree by Hilton, 111 N. Grand Ave, 48933, Lansing Michigan
Contact: Erin Lizotte
The annual conferences of the Northern Nut Growers Association (NNGA) and Chestnut Growers of America (CGA) will be held jointly August 3-6, 2025 at the Nash Nurseries (4975 W Grand River Rd, 48867) in Owosso and the DoubleTree by Hilton (111 N. Grand Ave, 48933) in Lansing, Michigan. The conference will include a show and tell session, two all-day technical sessions, and field tours to multiple sites along with a welcome dinner, auction, and social/banquet.
The conference is open to everyone with an interest in trees and shrubs managed for their nuts or native woody fruits. Attendees will include a diverse mix of commercial growers, researchers, and hobbyists. Expect to hear a lot about growing and processing chestnuts; however, the planning committee has energetically sought speakers for the other nut tree species. The program already includes presenters talking on some aspect of hazelnuts, hickory, and pawpaw. The list will grow as we get nearer the conference.
