With harvest underway in the South, and greenhouses being sown in the North, the vegetable seed industry continues to explore what the “new normal” looks like. In an effort to support and encourage growers, Bejo opted to create a Virtual Open House for the highly attended event. Due to the uncertainty of future distancing requirements, Bejo is committed to keeping employees and attendees healthy, while also providing the education and fun that the Bejo Open House event provides.

“This is another great example of how we can practice physical distancing while maintaining social connections,” says Chelsey Lenczyk, Sales and Product Development Manager for Bejo. “We get so much joy from sharing new products and research with Bejo customers and feel an online approach, mixing live video, some longer pre-recorded virtual walk-throughs, and even some interactive sessions, is the best approach to continue spreading this joy while also planning for the unknown months to come.”

In staying with its normal timing, the Bejo Virtual Open House will be held the week before Labor Day. The event will highlight the best and latest varieties in the Bejo assortment including carrots, cabbage, onions, and more recent features like tomatoes and cucumbers. The Virtual Open House is set to premier to the public on September 1 and will be archived on the Bejo YouTube channel for future viewing.
