The Brevard Rare Fruit Council
The Brevard Rare Fruit Council is a
non-profit organization dedicated
to promoting the introduction, propagation and distribution of new
species, improved varieties and mutations of fruit plants. Through our
monthly meetings, seminars and field trips, we collect and share
information regarding propagation techniques, growth characteristics,
cold and salt tolerances, and other environmental requirements. Brevard
Rare Fruit Council is part of an alliance of Rare Fruit Councils from
Florida to California.
Brevard meets on the 4th Wednesday of
each month, except November and
December. The November meeting is held on Wednesday of the week before
Tanksgiving, and is usually a banquet at one of the restaurants in
Melbourne. There is no meeting in December. The meeting officially
starts at 7:30 PM, but most of us come a little early to exchange
seeds, plants, and ideas. The meeting ends between 9:00 and 9:30 PM
The Brevard Rare Fruit Council takes place at the Melbourne Front
Street Civic Center.
Coming from the west, pass in front
of the Strawberry Mansion
restaurant by going East on E. Melbourne Ave. and make a left into
Front Street right after the scuba shop, as if you were going to the
Chart House Restaurant. The Civic Center will be on your left hand side
and the parking lot is the same as the boat ramp to the Indian River.
Coming from the east, drive over the Indian River by crossing the US
192 Causeway and make a left into Front Street before getting to US 1
