Vermont strawberry and raspberry plant program details
Vermont runs a two-tier system with Registered and Certified small fruit plants. Registered plants come from screenhouses to exclude aphid spread and are propagated from virus-free stock, then grown in isolated fields under strict controls and tested in indexing labs. Vermont states its program keeps plants among the nation’s best and unique in New England, with listed growers offering Registered and Certified stock for sale.
