The Michigan Peach Sponsors (MPS) is a non-profit, volunteer organization
for the promotion of peaches and nectarines. MPS represent the Michigan
peach industry in legislative issues. MPS works closely with Michigan
State University on issues concerning peaches.
MPS develops research and extension
priorities to help focus attention and encourage work on problems facing
the Michigan peach and national peach industries.
MPS provides monetary support to projects important to the Michigan peach industry, with special emphasis on the Michigan State University peach breeding and peach evaluation program.
MPS co-sponsors a 2 day peach conference in the spring of even years and a half day spring update session on odd years. MPS co-sponsors peach and nectarine variety showcases in southwest Michigan during peach season each year.
We invite all interested individuals and organizations to become members of the Michigan Peach Sponsors. Members of the MPS receive a quarterly newsletter, updates, and reduced rates for conferences sponsored by MPS plus the satisfaction of helping to promote the peach industry. The current members of the MPS includes growers, organizations and other friends from Michigan and elsewhere.
