Welcome to Cornell University's New York State Agricultural Experiment Station. It is one of the premier horticulture research and extension institutes in the world. The outstanding faculty, high quality laboratory, greenhouse, and field facilities; state-of-the-art electronic and information resources; and friendly and dedicated employees make the Station an exciting and pleasant place to study and conduct research. The beauty of the Finger Lakes region of which Geneva is the hub makes it a delightful place to live.

The focus of both research and extension programs at Geneva is on the production, protection, and processing of horticulture food crops. The interests of the research scientists range from applied to basic science including biotechnology, with frequent cooperation between basic and applied scientists and among scientists in other disciplines. Research and extension faculty work closely with members of the agricultural community and encourage their graduate students and other visiting scholars to participate in this important activity.

The relatively small campus at Geneva enables faculty, staff, and students to have close contact in an intellectually stimulating and professional environment. Visiting scientists, graduate students, and post-doctoral associates from around the world enhance the important exchange of new horticultural research at the Experiment Station.
