Specialty Crop

University of Wyoming Extension’s Harvest Wyoming initiative is a multi-pronged effort to increase growth and consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables in Wyoming. The project encompasses a wide range of activities—some of which help Wyomingites learn how to grow fresh produce in a challenging environment, which crops are in season at various points during the growing easy, and easy ways to prepare them.

Harvest Wyoming caters to gardeners and small-scale growers, prioritizing the sustainability and profitability of local food production. In spring 2024, Harvest Wyoming’s first conference was held in Sheridan, titled: “Season extension and production basics.” The 2025 conference was in Cheyenne.
