MARKETING . . .

The beach plum provides many diverse marketing opportunities. This season many CMC Beach Plum Association members picked beach plums from the NRCS Plant Materials Center. The plums were used to make jam, jelly, and juice. Many members were present during the 2-3 week harvest season to gather the fruit.
