Penn State University Fruit Research & Extension Center

Adams County · dedicated 2021 · University Dr., Biglerville

Founded in 1918, FREC was established in response to management challenges faced by Pennsylvania fruit growers. Originally located in Arendtsville, the center moved here in 1971. Groundbreaking research has been conducted at FREC related to fruit production systems and diseases, and the center’s integrated pest management pro-grams have revolutionized insect control. Activities here have had global influence on fruit production and marketing.
