Madeline Wimmer

Madeline Wimmer believes in a world that values local fruit production and the celebration of products derived from locally grown fruits. This includes a wide range of fruits like apples, grapes, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and emerging crops like currants and honeyberries. She primarily helps commercial fruit growers increase production quality and consistency, while maintaining plant health, by creating relevant outreach programs and materials. 

Born and raised in Rochester, MN, Madeline received her education from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and worked with cold climate wine grapes during her graduate years. She has spent time working on vineyards in Missouri and Wisconsin. She works out of the the regional extension office in Rochester.
